Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
Cold cuts are an American lunch staple, but unfortunately most of the deli offerings contain nitrates and/or nitrites. These preservatives are added to keep the meat from drying out, but it is generally thought that they could be detrimental to our health. Hence why cold cuts are on the list of foods to avoid while…
Holiday cookies are all well and good, but how about making a batch of this easy, delicious, & relatively healthy fudge to mix things up a bit this year? Peanut butter contributes protein, white chocolate lends sweetness, and coconut oil is to thank for the fudgy consistency of these little morsels of deliciousness. These treats…
Remember these? The Individual Cookies & Cream Cheesecakes were so delectable that I’ve been thinking of flavor variations ever since we polished them off. Then I stumbled upon this recipe for Maple Creme Cheesecake featuring one of my favorite packaged cookies – Trader Joe’s Maple Leaf Cookies – and knew that I wanted needed to make Individual Maple Cheesecakes. Let’s talk…
Not too long ago I made Cooking Light‘s Cheddar Chicken Chowder. Although we liked the creaminess of the chowder, John and I concurred that it lacked a complex and exciting flavor profile. I was inspired on the spot to adapt the recipe to better suit our palates. Although not quite masochists when it comes to spicy food,…
Why on earth did I put off buying popsicle molds for so long?? These star-shaped cutie pies were a mere $7.99 at Marshalls, and are both dishwasher safe and BPA free.

An e-cookbook solely for singletons this is not; rather, the recipes are geared toward anyone who is looking for single serving breakfasts and desserts (perhaps you don’t love leftovers or you want to practice portion control). If you prefer recipes that will…

Although both The Upper Crust and Regina’s are strong contenders for the #1 spot, a case can easily be made for Cambridge, 1.This refined pizza place serves thin crust, charcoal-grilled pies featuring unique ingredient combinations. One offering in particular that caught…
I saved the best 2014 Thanksgiving leftovers recipe for last! I know you’re probably SO over seeing pumpkin recipes from food bloggers right about now, but if – like me – you are also sick of looking at the leftover pumpkin pie sitting in your fridge (and stealing bites every now and then… ssshhh!) then…
Let’s take a moment to silently thank Gena for introducing the foodie blog world to the now well-known – and widely enjoyed – Banana Soft Serve. I for one have never tasted anything so decadent that consisted merely of one simple ingredient. When the weather turns warm, I freeze mass quantities of bananas for the sole purpose of…
