Salsa time! I haven’t made fresh salsa since I made our mango salsa with black-eyed-peas when Grey and I first moved into our current little home… and that was three months ago! I wanted to share a more basic fresh salsa that we enjoy on a larger variety of food. We were definitely overdue for some… Continue reading Pico De Gallo.
Homemade Corn Tortilla chips…Why not? We had almost an entire package of corn tortillas in our refrigerator, and no other plans for them. Might as well make chips! This is seriously so simple, I feel silly even writing a recipe for it…but I just had to because they are delicious! They are much thicker than… Continue reading Corn Tortilla Chips
One of my favorite things about summer is the abundance of fresh fruit. I love the variety of berries, melon, and tropical fruit like pineapple, papaya, and mango. If it was up to me, I could live off of nothing but fruit and BBQ in the summers. We made this fresh salsa a couple days… Continue reading Fresh Mango Salsa with Black-Eyed Peas
So…like pretty much every other woman on the planet, my archenemy is bread. Carby carby bread. I could eat an entire loaf of homemade bread straight out of the oven and not even feel guilty about it…well until I can’t zip up my jeans. I want breadsticks with pizza, toast with breakfast, and an extra… Continue reading Garlicky Cauliflower “Breadsticks”
I made these bars because Grey likes bars. He eats a lot, and they are a quick and convenient snack while at work, traveling, or just out and about. Store-bought bars are kind of expensive…and not nearly as healthy and tasty as homemade ones! These are super simple to make, and Grey has requested that… Continue reading Walnut Coconut Bars…a.k.a. Grey’s new favorite snack.
I not quite sure why making granola was like rocket science to me. It has literally taken me months to come up with a granola making recipe/method that actually tastes like granola from the store. The first time, it was…well…like soup. Because I was trying to make a fancy cranberry orange granola and ended up… Continue reading Homemade Granola: Maple Pecan
Tomorrow is the big day of eating, cheering, laughing, eating, drinking, eating, watching, talking, and…you get the picture. There will be eating! I hope you have all your snacks lined up. Grey and I are going to be watching the game at his parents house. We’ll be bringing skinny hot artichoke and spinach dip with… Continue reading Caprese Skewers
Two. More. Days. Are you ready? I sure am. I’ve made, and eaten enough snacks to get me good and primed for this Superbowl Sunday. This is one of my personal favorites. It’s a classic! A pile of my favorite ingredients: Beans, Greek yogurt, cheese, green peppers, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, and scallions…all with a southwestern… Continue reading “Guilt Free” 8 Layer Dip.
It’s Thuurrssddaayy!…You know what that means…only three more days to finalize your big Superbowl plans. I hope all the food, friends, and sportsman-like trash talk is coming along nicely for you all. Grey and I have been busy in the kitchen testing recipes to make for the big game, and found this one to be… Continue reading Black Bean and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
Recently…like within the last year…I tried hot artichoke dip, for the first time. Boy. It. Is. Good. Of course before that, spinach dip with chewy sourdough bread was always my dip of choice. When I found this recipe for hot artichoke AND spinach dip, I was head over heals in love. I wouldn’t be eating… Continue reading Skinny Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip
