Raise your hand if you love s’mores! Yeah, I figured. Me too. What’s more magical than a toasty marshmallow sandwiched between graham crackers and chocolate? Not much! But it’s not always feasible to build a campfire and get to toasting, so what’s a s’more lover to do? Why make S’mores Dessert Granola, that’s what!
Close your eyes and envision the perfect salad. What does it look like? Mine has whole grains, veggies, fruits and cheeses! Would you like my tips for creating the perfect salad? Great! Grab them below along with my recipe for Summer Grain Salad below!
I love most fruit. Not really surprising there. But berries have a special place in my heart. Maybe because they are so incredibly beautiful and fragile. Or maybe it’s because when they’re ripe, they’re just pure fabuloulness! And after I’ve filled my belly with them in their whole form, I like to turn the extra into these Berry Crumble Bars!
I’m all about throwing meals together these days. It’s always a “what’s kicking in the fridge/pantry/freezer” situation. But from the chaos, usually comes success! Like THIS recipe for BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes!
Looking for a fun way to eat pizza? Well, I’ve got just the pizza for you! It’s loaded with all of the goodness of summer too! Expect plenty of delicious flavor with this Bacon-Kale-Peach BBQ Pizza!
Do you have big salad dreams? Maybe not, but I do! In fact, I pretty much daydream about food all day. But I’m weird like that. A recent salad daydream became reality! I had just scored some yummy peaches and strawberries and was determined to find a way to use them. Salad? Yes! Strawberry Peach Spinach Salad, to be exact!
Sigh, is this a recipe for a smoothie? And a green smoothie? Oh, it sure is. I know, you’re thinking “NO WAY am I making another green smoothie,” but I think I may be able to chance your mind.
Love salmon but don’t love cooking it? I hear ya! It can be a bit intimadating to cook any fish. Trust me, I’ve failed SEVERAL times! I’m here to tell you though, you can master it! And the easiest way is to use this recipe for No-Fail Broiled Salmon!
Raise your hand if you love Confetti Cupcakes! Me too! And so do all of the millions of kids out there. They will grab a sprinkle-filled, sprinkle-topped cupcake with zero hesitation! But you know you want one too. So grab one…with zero hesitation.
