With the holidays quickly approaching, and some parties already behind us, I figured it was time to share some recipes in the next week that are great for entertaining These peanut butter bombs are a fairly common (and SUPER easy/simple) staple that I’ve had at many cookie swaps. Even though they’re not technically a cookie, … More Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
I debated whether or not to share this recipe. In fact, I don’t even know if you can call it a recipe…since it’s basically just a few ingredients layered in a baking dish. Then I thought about how delicious it was and said, yup, it’s a winner. So today I’m sharing an extremely straightforward and … More Easy Bean and Cheese Dip
So, early last week my blog turned one! I meant to do a whole post about everything I’ve learned and a recap of my favorite posts over the year…but here we are today 🙂 Instead of boring you with how many followers I have (not a lot) and how many posts I’ve written (same), I … More Maple Oatmeal Scones
Living in Salem, MA, the home of all things Halloween, requires me to go all out for the holiday. I’m definitely not complaining, and I celebrated Halloween pretty nicely this year! Let’s just say 7 bags of candy is already gone, and we didn’t have trick-or-treaters 😛 So, after all the decorating and celebrating was … More Spicy BBQ Pumpkin Seeds
Way back when, I said I’d share my favorite Blondie recipe. Almost 10 months later, I’m making good on my promise 🙂 The reason I love this recipe is three-fold. First, you only need a single mixing bowl. The entire recipe can be made while only dirtying a couple things. Second, it literally takes minutes … More Blondies!
Whenever I’m craving something a little decadent, but know I need to get some greens, this is my go-to recipe. I know, kale is NOT decadent on its own…but the bacon and spices compliment it so well, that I actually really enjoy this preparation. All you need is a TON of kale, bacon, and some … More Bacony Kale
I’m on day 17 of my 20 day reset and all I want is some pasta, bread and cheese 😛 In the meantime, I made this super garlicky spaghetti squash. Honestly – it was SO delicious, and I almost (almost…) forgot I wasn’t eating pasta. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a … More Garlicky Spaghetti Squash
I’m a very firm believer that ice cream is a year round treat. Since I have yet to share a homemade ice cream with you guys I thought today, on probably the last 75+ degree day in the Northeast this year, was the perfect time. Since I’m still following my 20 day reset, I wanted … More Vegan Cherry Garcia
One of my favorite bloggers, Joy, recently posted that she was going to take part in a body ‘reset’. Basically, followers spend 20 days with no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I’ve been a little excessive lately, since I’ve been traveling a lot to NYC for work (and there’s literally no bad food in NYC), … More Almond Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
The last time I posted a carrot recipe, it was one of my all-time favorite recipes ever. Again, I found myself at Trader Joe’s staring at the multi color carrots and was reminded of that lovely salad. I made it last week and am still enjoying today! With the leftover carrots, I decided I’d give … More Spicy Maple Roasted Carrots
After unintentionally taking a break from blogging for most of the summer, I’m back and ready to share more tasty and easy recipes with you guys! Since last weekend marked the official start of football (and more importantly football Sunday fundays) I wanted to share one of my very favorite game day dishes. Andrew and … More Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
Welp. It was only a matter of time before work completely took over my life and the kitchen became only a room I passed through to enter and exit my house. I finally was able to take a breather this past weekend, and despite the fact that it was about 80 degrees inside, I cranked the … More Sweet and Salty Double Chip Cookies
After what some may consider an excessive amount of sugar that has been shared with you guys lately, I wanted to redeem myself by sharing a delicious and healthy dinner idea. The crock-pot is essential for hearty soups and stews in the winter time, but it’s also totally necessary with the recent summertime heat. Anything I … More Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls
I know by now you guys are aware of my popcorn obsession. I thought I’d seen (and eaten) it all, until I came across this take on one of my favorite childhood snacks. Typically, this is made with Chex cereal, but this simply replaces the cereal with popcorn. I must say, this may be better … More Popcorn Muddy Buddies
One of my favorite things to grow in my garden (thanks to Andrew who has the green thumb in the house…) is basil. Not only is it easy to maintain, but it grows super fast and tastes good in just about every dish. As a result of the field of basil growing outside, I find … More Pea Mint Pesto Crostini
