I so much enjoyed my Pumpkin Spice Granola, that I had to make another batch of homemade whole-grain goodness. I switched up the ingredients a bit, opting this time for the simple – but delectable – pairing of maple and dates. Toasted walnuts or pecans would be a delicious addition, if you so choose. Although not as . . . → Read More: Maple Date Granola One of my favorite indulgences to lighten up is creamy pasta sauce. After many trial runs, I’ve found that 2% milk strikes the perfect balance between rich creaminess and a lower-fat nutritional profile. If you prefer to go even lighter, 1% milk will do, but skim milk just doesn’t yield the silkiness that I seek in . . . → Read More: Creamy Pesto Sauce This is another recipe made with my husband in mind. What can I say… the man loves ranch dressing and barbeque sauce; toss in some jalapeno, chicken, pizza dough, and cheese, and John’s a happy guy! This playful pizza is a conglomerate adaptation from two of my fellow bloggers, so thank you to Annie and Des for . . . → Read More: Jalapeno Ranch BBQ Chicken Pizza If I am ever asked to compose a list of only 10 foods I could eat for the remainder of my life, sweet potatoes would – without question – be number 1. Why I disliked this superfood as a kid, I have no clue, but I’d have a difficult time living without the orange-fleshed vegetable now. . . . → Read More: Baked Sweet Potato Soup My husband, John, has always been a big huge fan of buffalo wings. Me, not so much. They remind me of “wing night” held at one of the dining halls on our alma mater‘s campus; many members of the football team would – without fail – convene to consume massive amounts of the messy finger food. . . . → Read More: Buffalo Chicken Calzones I’ve caught salivation-inducing glimpses of these mini cheesecakes all over the foodie blogosphere lately, and finally made the decision to make a lightened version for a get-together with friends this past weekend. Yes, you read that cookie brand name correctly; I did not use the ubiquitous cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies that we all know and love, (that . . . → Read More: Individual Cookies & Cream Cheesecakes I so thoroughly enjoyed my Blueberry-Coconut Baked Oatmeal that I just had to make another version on this snowy New England morning. If you ask me, bananas are essential for baked oatmeal… but any additional fruit is up to the cook’s discretion. I always have a stash of apples on hand this time of year, so . . . → Read More: Bananapple Baked Oatmeal Elegant enough for the first course of a dinner party – but easy enough for a weeknight side dish – these roasted pears stuffed with dried cranberries, walnuts, and goat cheese are a healthy and tasty way to top a bed of lightly dressed greens. Pears are a wonderful fruit to roast because they become tender without . . . → Read More: Roasted Stuffed Pears Perhaps it’s my inner child – hanging on for dear life as I rapidly approach the third decade of my life – that is responsible for my love of macaroni & cheese; melty cheese and carb-y pasta are a match made in heaven, if you ask me. That being said, my palate yearns for a more . . . → Read More: Tex Mex Mac & Cheese I challenge you to come up with a more comforting, soul- & body-warming winter meal than chili. Whether it’s Texas-style beef chili, turkey and bean chili, Cincinnati-style spaghetti chili, vegetarian chili, or white chicken chili, this filling one-pot dish is a hands-down favorite of many people during the winter months.
