Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
As we gear up for Valentine’s Day, chocolate recipes abound. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with splurging on decadent desserts every once in a while, (especially on a holiday), there are plenty of healthier versions of those indulgences if you’re interested in feeding your sweet tooth without consuming loads of sugar and saturated fat. This…
I’m sitting here typing up this post on April 1st, while the sleet & snow falls outside. There are so many things I love about living in New England, but springtime snow is definitely NOT one of them. As much as I’m done with the cold, I’ve decided to embrace this (hopefully) last snowfall by staying…
If you’re reading this post, that must mean that you haven’t given up on me despite my sporadic posting as of late; and for that, I wholeheartedly thank you! Life is happily crazy with two kiddos, and I am having difficulty finding time to devote to the blog. Nevertheless, I’m not giving up developing recipes…
There’s no doubt about it: this granola is completely dessert-worthy! The oat mixture itself has all of the flavors of cookie dough, and when you add chocolate chips to the toasted oats, they melt into clumps of chocolate chip cookie deliciousness. Name: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dessert Granola Cuisine: Dessert Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 30…
Let’s start off by discussing the Instant Pot in case you’re not familiar with it… it’s a programmable pressure cooker, slow cooker, saute pan, rice cooker, yogurt maker, (and even more!) all in one. Using the Instant Pot can be a bit daunting at first, what with all of the buttons and options, but once you familiarize yourself…
Snack cake. Those two words – individually – make me happy, but put them together and I’m downright blissful. Cake that you can justifiably get away with eating at any time of day? I’m in 100%. How about you? If for some odd reason you’re still not sold, just feast your eyes on that glossy…
I typically eat plain yogurt, but when I was offered the chance to try Noosa Bhakti Chai and Pumpkin Yoghurt, I accepted without hesitation… and I am so glad I did because this yogurt is fantastic! Thick, rich, and creamy plain yogurt is swirled with ribbons of sweetly spiced yogurt. It’s certainly dessert-worthy, but I made an…
Pumpkin spice gets all of the love this time of year, (I succumb to the temptation as well, and will be posting a pumpkin spice recipe soon), but what about other aromatic autumnal spice combinations? Chai spice is basically pumpkin spice with the addition of cardamom and allspice; you’ve still got the sweet cinnamon, spicy ginger,…
As mentioned in my Crunchy Chai Granola Clusters post, I’m still infatuated with pumpkin spice everything. Year after year by the end of summer, I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting not only for cooler weather, cozy sweaters, and vibrant fall foliage, but also for the return of the pumpkin spice craze. Name Pumpkin…
I’ve cut back on my caffeine intake – most days I don’t have any – but there are some mornings or afternoons that require a little pick-me-up. Being pregnant is tiring in and of itself, but being pregnant (especially in the third trimester; 5 weeks to go!) with an almost-three-year-old is downright exhausting. Thank goodness for…
