I’m pretty sure I’ve been eating (and loving) BBQ since I was born. Or very close to it. I went through a phase in high school where I always got a side of BBQ sauce to go with my fries (ketchup be damned), and you know what? I still support that. But the Instant Pot …
OK, cookie makers…I’ve got another one for you! {Also, how did my healthy recipe blog turn into a cookie-lover blog?! Don’t worry, I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled “less sugar” posts shortly…but for now, cookies!} These peppermint balls are something I remember my mom making when I was growing up. I’ve made some printable …
Another day, another butter. OK…that just came out of nowehere but I think it might be new motto. Or a new website. Are there websites devoted to butter? Surely there are, but the world could always use another, right?! Check out my Pumpkin Pie Butter if you need convicing! On a serious(ish) note, this Cinnamon …

Apples and butternut squash and thyme, oh my! All the makings of a nice holiday dish, right? I am in love with this 21 Day Fix Apple Butternut Squash Casserole.

These cookies are of course perfect year-round…but they also make really great Christmas cookies because they’re a little bit different, simple …

Olives have always played a role in my holiday experience. As a child, I remember standing next to my mom as she opened the cans of black olives on Thanksgiving, antsy to get the first ones and toss them into my mouth before she shooed me away. Sitting at a rickety old card table that …
One of the treats I most associate with fall (aside from pumpkin everything, candy corn, apple cider, and sweet potato casserole) is the caramel apple. Messy, sweet, and basically a health food (I mean, most of it is made from an apple, right? And what did Benjamin Franklin say about apples? See? TOTALLY HEALTHY), caramel …
I wish I could go back and make my young self eat veggies. I mean, I was really missing out! I love me some veggies as an adult, and I will take them steamed, sauteed, grilled or roasted…just feed me all the veggies. As much as I love them, though, it can be hard to …
