This is the fruit crisp of my dreams. Bursting with fresh & sweet in-season fruit, topped with a generous layer of crumbly whole wheat oatmeal crisp, and no butter or refined sugar in sight. It does not get any better than this! Let’s start with the fruit filling. I think I choose a different favorite…

Well hello, friends! It’s been strange not blogging as regularly as I used to, but then again pretty much every facet of my life has changed ;). I will post more Lily updates in next week’s Monday Musings post, but for now I can tell you that I am absolutely smitten with our precious little…
Although not quite a re-interpretation of Crazy Camel Dessert Hummus, this sweetened white bean dip was certainly inspired by the clever and unique brainchild of Fed By Chuck & Co. My Maple-Date Cannellini Dip features a creamy base of cannellini beans pureed with plump dates that is perked up with pure maple syrup, rich maple extract, and warm…

She LOVES bananas, though, and the petite stature of these cracker bites deems them kid-friendly. They’re also perfectly healthy…
Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite day of the year. Sharing a bountiful meal with family and friends as the sun sets on a cool Autumn evening is the perfect occasion to ruminate over what we are thankful for.
