Since I posted a recipe for a delicious savory Super Bowl snack (these little piggies), I thought it would only be appropriate to share an equally scrumptious sweet option with you. Obviously considering the title of my blog, these brownies are an absolute must-have. The pretzel crust is comparable to a pretzely-shorbread, giving the brownies the … More Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Brownies
The Super Bowl is upon us. Andrew and I will (hopefully, depending on this teeny tiny blizzard) be in Aruba for the game. He will be watching his beloved Patriots, while I am off catching rays and sipping on mai-tais. This is not to say I’m not into sports. I actually love them, but the sadness I’m feeling from … More Upscale Pigs in a Blanket
Every weekend, Andrew and I have one ‘cheat’ meal. We try to be fairly healthy and fill up with nutritious foods all week, but when it comes to our cheat meal, literally anything is fair game. Probably once a month for the past 2 years, Andrew has requested mac and cheese. While we don’t quite have it … More The Dreamiest Mac and Cheese
I think there are two categories of people, those who like and appreciate soup, and those who don’t. I am certainly in the former, while Andrew is in the latter. Unfortunately for me, this means I don’t make it very often. Since I travel for work and am away from home during the week, I … More Vegetarian Lentil Soup

The reason I really like this recipe is not only that it is easy to put together and quick-cooking, but the dough serves as a base for any mix-ins you like. It reminds … More Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Though I strongly believe that self-improvement can and should be made year-round, the new year always makes me do some reflecting on the things I’d like to do better for the year ahead. This year, I vowed to eat more nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables. I have always heard, the more colorful the produce, the more nutrition … More Carrot and Feta Salad
In an effort to recover from the delectably cheesy situation I forced you all to see earlier this week, today I come in peace, with this healthy take on banana bread (with just a teeny smear of butter…) Since Andrew and I drink a ton of smoothies, we always have bananas around. I despise bananas … More Healthier Banana Bread
I’m sorry. I know I’m supposed to be posting green smoothies and vegetable-heavy salads, but after making these game-changing waffles, it would be wrong for me not to share with you. As I mentioned in my pancake post I’m definitely a savory breakfast girl. Andrew and I got a waffle maker last year, and ever since … More Savory Cheesy Cheddar Waffles
