I’ve never really met anyone who doesn’t love M&Ms or chocolate chip cookies, so this combo is a classic winner. I’m pretty religious about only ever serving chewy cookies (I just never understood crunchy cookies personally)–so, not over baking these is essential so that they stay nice and soft. I also love the idea of […]

We live in a world of great challenge and disagreement right now but at least we can all agree that everything is good about pumpkin and caramel right? Life’s simple pleasures are as important as ever to responsibly indulge in. These gooey and delicious squares are absolute perfection for Thanksgiving or anytime of the year […]

I love everything that my friend Pamela Salzman creates – I just wish we lived closer so we could film more Instagram recipes together! I also love anything that mimics the flavors of pizza without the loaded heaviness and carbs, so when Pamela posted this I knew I had to share it with you. These are […]

Move over junk food, these craveable cauliflower bites may just take the place of loaded cheesy snacks. Made with just cauliflower, seasoning and cheese, these come out so crispy and flavorful I’d probably recommend doubling the recipe. Here’s a peek into the process: First, I steam the cauliflower briefly so it’s soft enough to smash […]

Chocolate and peanut butter is always a good idea and when you add “easy” into the mix you’ve scored the perfect dessert choice. Chocolate peanut butter bars are so versatile-pile them up with some berries and other treats on a platter for dessert or keep them in the freezer for a after school treat for […]

This summer we embarked on a journey into the wild. My adventure seeking husband has dreamt of kayaking the middle fork of the salmon river for some time and while it took some convincing for me to sleep in a tent for 5 days, I did finally say yes. We’ve been home from our camping […]

The last time I made my Frozen Watermelon Mojito the crowd went a little wild. The combination of watermelon and mint screams a bit of a party, doesn’t it? With natural sugars from the watermelon and a refreshing contrast of lime and mint, this one’s definitely a winner. Serve it up at your next party while it’s still […]

During my recent trip to Africa, one of the hotels we stayed at served a scrumptious gluten-free lemon blueberry loaf. The kids devoured it! As we munched away in safari bliss, I couldn’t help but think of my friend Danielle who runs a website called The Inherited Plate. Her Blueberry Buckle with Crumble Topping offers […]
