Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
As was the case with my Individual Breakfast Pizzas, we actually enjoyed these tacos for dinner… but apparently I like entitling any recipe featuring eggs as “breakfast” despite the fact that I rarely eat eggs in the morning. For these tacos, tortillas – or flatbreads, as I used – are crisped up in a skillet before…
1. Despite the expected challenges, I LOVE being a mom and I find myself becoming more and more enamored with Lily every day. So much of being first-time parents is figuring things out for ourselves along the way, and – for the most part – it has been a joy thus far. I actually don’t…
I love every recipe I post on HFFL, (they’re my little food babies), but every once in a while I come up with something that is really special; something that I know I will make over and over again. One such recipe was my Chocolate Ganache Pudding that I posted back in July. Rich & chocolatey, lusciously…
1. Ok, Earth Balance… this is pretty tasty: But you’re not the first one to combine coconut and peanut butter: (I’m probably not either). I really have to make that Vanilla Bean Coconut Peanut Butter again! 2. Yes, I’m reading this book. Chances are you have read it, are currently reading it, or have heard about it. After being put at…

Carrot cake has always been a beloved dessert, known for its moist, spiced layers and rich cream cheese frosting. But what if we told you there’s a way to enjoy all the flavors of carrot cake in a refreshing, tropical drink? Introducing the Carrot Cake Colada with Whipped Coconut Cream—a delightful concoction that combines the…
Okay, so clearly I’m on a pumpkin cheesecake kick. I tried to space out posting this fro yo from the pudding, but just couldn’t wait any longer than a week to share such a delicious recipe with you! And yes, this is the same pumpkin from those photos. I have to get another fall photography prop… and…
1. I’m getting a big kick out of Lisa Kudrow’s new series Web Therapy which airs on Showtime Mondays at 11 PM (which of course means I watch it On Demand… 11:00 is past my bedtime). Although my career path took a culinary turn along the way, I actually went to school (both undergrad at Lafayette College…
These grainy pictures were actually taken during not the first, but the second photo shoot for this parfait. The first time I made the parfait, I layered the still-warm cooked apples with the cold yogurt, which resulted in the glass fogging up – clearly (pun not intended) not the best conditions for food photography. The…
Last weekend I set out to make Ashley’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Almond Butter, and everything went swimmingly until I stirred the chocolate chips into the not-yet-fully-cooled freshly made almond butter (what can I say – I’m impatient). The little morsels of chocolate quickly melted into the almond butter, resulting in a silky smooth, richly colored,…
