Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I typically associate pesto with warm weather given the fact that the main ingredient in the traditional version – basil – is in season during the summer, but a simple swap with broccoli turns the classic pasta accompaniment into a winter-friendly recipe. I also swapped the traditional pine nuts for walnuts because a) they’re healthier and b)…
It should come as no surprise to you when I say that I love almonds. The little nutritional powerhouses are one of my go-to snacks, and I love to incorporate almonds in all of their forms (almond flour, almond butter, almond extract, etc.) to recipes. Case in point. So I – of course – jumped at the chance…

Whatever you call it, it is deeeeeelicious; every bit as scrumptious as that Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind over the past couple of weeks. This version uses oil instead of butter, white chocolate chips instead…
In fact, I used to detest the flavor and texture. As a little girl, I’d bypass all of the Mounds and Almond Joy bars in my Halloween loot and head straight for the Snickers and Twix bars. Then I discovered the Girl Scout Caramel Delights cookies, (we didn’t call them Samoas down in PA where…
I’m not quite sure how I went so long without a macaroon fix, but I decided it was high time to create another variation to what just might be my favorite cookie recipe. For this go-around I went with a carrot cake flavor profile, using grated carrots, chopped pecans, and a trifecta of warm spices: cinnamon, ginger,…
Oh pumpkin, how I love thee. As soon as the first hints of fall begin whispering in my ear to crack open the first glorious can of pumpkin of the season, I run to the grocery store and stock up. Now that it’s officially fall, I can post pumpkin recipes with abandon, right?! These paleo cookies…

I rarely make a recipe more than once, so the fact that the cookies have become a staple in our house tells you just how awesome they are! I…
