Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
I plowed my way through the Peanut Butter, Date, & Oat Bites in no time, and reveled in each ball of sweet, dense deliciousness. I loved the portable and filling bites so much that I couldn’t help but whip up another batch… this time featuring a tropical flavor profile. The flavor of these tasty little bites is…
Today marks two momentous occasions. First of all, it’s the FIRST DAY OF FALL! Autumn is by far my favorite season, especially here in New England. Literally everything about this time of year puts a huge smile on my face: cool dry air, vibrantly-hued foliage, squawking migrating geese, back-to-school excitement, cozy sweaters, smoke curling out of…
It’s football chili season! On any given sunday afternoon during this time of the year you can bet that our T.V. is tuned to a football game John either lounging on the sofa or fist-pumping the air. I admit that I’m not a huge fan of watching the games in their entirety nor do I have a…
There’s no denying it at this point: I love cookies & cream. If you harbor any doubt, I invite you to check out this post. Or this one. And if those don’t convince you, this post certainly will. Yes, I love healthy foods such as wild Alaskan salmon, zucchini, Greek yogurt, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and just about every fruit under…
As much as it pains me to write this, strawberry season here in New England will soon come to an end. I’ve been hoarding containers of the organic red berries with the intention of using them in recipes… the problem is, I keep polishing them off before I have a chance to cook or bake…
Stuffed dates are an easy but impressive hors d’oeuvre that transcend seasonality. Equally well-suited for an elegant winter dinner party or a backyard summer BBQ, these two-bite delicacies balance sweet, salty, and tangy flavors as well as chewy, creamy, and crunchy textures. I decided to make two varieties of stuffed dates for a 4th of…
Phew! It has been H-O-T here in Boston this week. I don’t know about you but when the temperature soars I have little interest in spending a prolonged amount of time over the stove or in front of the oven. Even though I could happily enjoy a bowl of fruit and yogurt for dinner on…
If you read my post on Flourless White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies, you are well aware of my loyalty to the Peanut Butter and Co. product line. I’ve never tried a peanut butter from that company that I didn’t absolutely love, so it hadn’t crossed my mind to seek out other brands. That is, until a couple of weeks…
Oh, and fresh mozzarella. But hey, I had to cut the title off at some point – it’s long enough as is. I know what you may be thinking. Fruit? On a pizza? What? Let me just stop you right there. Indulge me for a moment and think about how fantastic fruit and cheese taste…
As you might recall from this post, I promised you a recipe for blondies using Saratoga Peanut Butter Company Blizzard [white chocolate] Butter. Well, here it is! These cakey blondies deliciously combine the flavors of white chocolate, peanut butter, and banana. The healthy fat in the peanut butter – along with the moisture from the mashed bananas – negates…
