Avocado Toast
I think I eat an avocado every day. In some form or another. I've been known to drown myself in a bowl of guacamole, and I love avocado with just lemon juice and salt. (In fact, I had one like that with lunch today...just mash it right in the skin and scoop it out!) I like to mix it up and add to sandwiches, salad and toast too. This could totally be breakfast, lunch … [Read more...]
Blueberry Crumble Bars
A pan of these lasted on the counter for approximately 4.7 seconds. The vultures (aka my boys) attacked these blueberry bars with a vengeance...and I quickly regretted not doubling up on these. Now, I know for certain that the next time I make these (likely tomorrow!), I'll double up and make in a 9x13 pan. How to Make Blueberry Crumble Bars - Photo Tutorial Mix up … [Read more...]
Chunky Avocado Salsa
Can you say CINCO DE MA-YUM!!!! It's Cinco de Mayo week and I've got a great new recipe to try!

Shamrock Sandwich
I've got another simple and easy St. Patrick's Day snack for you!! But first, I have to tell you that growing up, I always thought that St. Patrick's Day was "my holiday." It was mine because in 2nd grade, one of the teachers at my school decorated her door with all kinds of fun green shamrocks and words like "Luck" (easy for a second grader to read!) She also included … [Read more...]
Trail Mix Brownies
I am a HUGE fan of "dumping" together fun baked recipes like this! I love mixing and matching dried fruit, nuts and seeds into trail mixes...especially after the holiday baking season. (Now is the best time to save on baking ingredients - so STOCK UP!) This resulted from a fun mix and match of goodies I had in the baking cabinet, and a fun homemade fudgy recipe on my … [Read more...]
Strawberry Crepes
So. My boys ask for pancakes EVERY.SINGLE.WEEKEND. morning. (Not kidding.) It's like it's they are programmed to ask for them every Saturday and Sunday. If our schedule allows (like, no early soccer games!), then I'm usually willing to help them make the pancakes and supervise (read, referee) the pancake flipping that has to happen. But there are some … [Read more...]
Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
And........... we have a new favorite after school snack. The first time I made this, the boys were super confused as to why I had 2 pots (the double boiler) sitting together on the stove. I've used them many times before, but they never noticed until now. We had a quick little science lesson about the double boiler, how it worked and why the chocolate needed to be melted … [Read more...]
