I developed these green beans specifically to go with my Slow Cooker Chinese 5 Spice Pulled Pork. But they’re so fast and easy to make, as well as incredibly flavorful, they make a great side dish to so many Asian inspired dishes, (like my Slow Cooker Honey Lime Teriyaki Chicken). And you don’t have to limit the sauce in this … Read More
Rosemary Sea Salt Roasted Almonds
These rosemary almonds started off as just something I was making for my Easy Cheese Board Date for 2. But they quickly took on a life of their own, so I made some space in the recipe calendar, so they could be their own recipe.
Chocolate Raspberry Cream Candy Cups
This recipe was inspired by a couple of things. The first one is Tyler’s love of the classic chocolate raspberry combination, and the second is peanut butter cups of all things. Of course we both love peanut butter cups, (and you can find my homemade recipe in my Inspired Ice Creams e-book). But I wanted to use their shape as … Read More
My Favorite Energizing Green Juice
I have a very ‘on and off’ relationship with juicing. I love green juice, and I really love how it makes me feel. But… I struggle to make time to actually juice. And I know I’m not alone in this because everyone I know feels the exact same way. Juicing sounds great and all, but really… it’s hard to make … Read More
Get the Glow Carrot Beet Juice
One of my 10 Intentional Habits for the New Year is to eat more veggies. There’s always so much confusing diet advice being thrown around, and it’s even worse at the beginning of a new year. But there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on, and that’s to eat more veggies. You simply can’t go wrong with that formula!
Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding
We’ve been making this pudding for years, and it never ceases to please whenever I make it for company. It’s easy to throw together in the food processor, and it can be made ahead as well for the ultimate convenience.
Death by Chocolate
My recipe for Death by Chocolate comes from my husband's family, and it truly lives up to it's name. I've taken the liberty to change the recipe around to make for a healthier chocolate indulgence. Strangely enough, my healthier version turned out even more rich and decadent than the original. This is mostly because my chocolate cake recipe is a ... Read More
Slow Cooker Apple Pie Filling
This recipe started off as the vaguest of ideas. I was actually procrastinating the task at hand and thinking about food, (what else is new?) when I had this thought, 'wouldn't it be nice if the whole house could smell like apple pie, without actually making apple pie'. That was really all it took to spark an idea, and from ... Read More
Roasted Garlic Butternut Hummus
I love making hummus out of ingredients that are beyond the ordinary. I know it's technically not hummus if there's no chickpeas in it. But for those of us that can't have beans, those types of technicalities don't matter all that much. I figure if it tastes like hummus, and has a hummus texture, that's good enough for me! So ...
