Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
This cookie dough dip happened by accident. Or rather… the ingredients that I whipped together accidentally turned into a dip. My original intention was to make cookie dough balls, but the mixture I ended up with was too thin to form into anything other than a gloppy mess. As I stood in the kitchen eating…
The pairing of apples and cheddar cheese is just one of those culinary combinations that work beautifully well. The crisp sweet fruit is the perfect vehicle for the buttery piquant cheese. I can remember many family hikes fueled by freshly picked McIntosh apples, thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese, and either hearty whole wheat bread…
These crispy bars are a conglomeration of two favorite childhood treats, both of which I rarely ate – but enjoyed immensely – as a kid. S’mores were reserved for huddling around a beach bonfire at dusk during family summer vacations, melted chocolate and sticky marshmallows sandwiched messily between crunchy graham crackers. Half the fun of…
Are you getting sick of frozen yogurt recipes? Good. Me neither. In fact, I can’t seem to curb a near constant craving for the tangy, slightly sweet, and perfectly creamy frozen deliciousness. Without my trusty ice cream machine I’d be shelling out quite a bit of dough at the BerryLine location that is within walking distance of our apartment….
An iconic – if not slightly outdated – party hors d’oeuvre, deviled eggs need to make a comeback… and this recipe is my contribution to that movement.

I may have mentioned this on the blog before, but I like to make treats for each of my students on their birthdays. Some students request a specific type of cookie, brownie, or bar, and others ask to be surprised. Regardless of what type of goodie I bring in, it is rarely a “healthified” (or…
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…
