My husband bought me a Nutri Bullet for Christmas and we have been experimenting in the world of blending ever since. Did you know that in order to get the nutrients from 1/8 cup of flaxseed (an ingredient I always put in my drinks) you would need to eat 60 cups of broccoli and 100 …

I am so excited to share this vegan granola recipe with you all today! After you make this, you’ll be eating it by the handfuls. That’s exactly what I was doing when I made it. Grabbing handful after handful. I’m not usually a granola person but this recipe made me one. It is delicious, nutritious, …

As I have mentioned before, I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Cake, cookies, bars and now bread. To be fair this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is what I would consider “dessert bread”. It’s not your typical sliced bread that you throw some lunch meat on and call it a day. …

I won’t go as far as to say that I’m making a goal to lose weight this year, but there are some baby pounds I may or may not being striving to get rid of. Ideally I’ll do this through some kid-friendly exercise (swift walks with the stroller and family yoga, anyone?) and a boost …

Okay, this is without a doubt my favorite Oatmeal Bake recipe. It is delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and kids are going to love the added twist on boring old regular oatmeal. It’s really easy to make, you can add anything your heart desires to spice it up, and the kids can help you …

It’s time for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Billionaire Bars! Today I’m sharing another treat that I made during the holidays for my family. As usual, they requested chocolate chip cookies but I ALWAYS make those cookies. Sure, the cookies I make are amazing but I wanted to make something different. I figured I would include …

It’s time for the best Pumpkin Crunch Cake you’ve ever tasted! While visiting family out of town for the holiday this past weekend, I baked so many yummy goodies that it’s truly hard for me not to share them with you all at once. Not to overwhelm you, I’m sharing the recipes one by one …

It’s time for Pecan Pie Truffles! It’s a holiday with the family which means I’ve been a baking fool the past few days. Normally, I would wait until I return home to share some of the recipes with you, but this one couldn’t wait. The family is going crazy on how delicious these little balls …

I fully believe that eggnog is not solely a Christmas beverage. It’s a holiday one. A tasty treat that can last from the day after Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day. Well, technically, eggnog is completely acceptable until Starbucks decides that eggnog season is over. Don’t you agree? That’s why today it’s time for Eggnog Pancakes! …

I adore having food traditions during the holidays. I know some families have candy-making days, others decorate gingerbread houses, and some host cookie exchanges or peppermint parties. Us, I guess we skip the sweets and go straight for the “real” food. Christmas Eve is all about soup and Christmas Day is celebrated with a salt-packed …

Around the holidays my husband enters the kitchen for one task. It is a very important project … the creation of his family’s secret pineapple glaze. Ever since I’ve been around I’ve jokingly called it “ham sauce” which doesn’t sit well my my husband. Apparently “pineapple glaze” is the more refined term for the sweet …

Unless you been living in a cave, you know that cake pops have been hugely popular in the last couple years. Kids love ’em. Adults love ’em. Basically, who doesn’t like a cake pop?!? Well, today for “Foodie Friday” I am changing up the cake pop game and taking out the cake and putting in …
