The Healthy Flavor

This is such an easy and simple recipe. You don’t need many ingredients and it is filling and delicious. My husband absolutely loved it and claimed it tasted just like the stuff we used to consume at the restaurants. I don’t know about that…it’s not prepared the traditional way, it’s not greasy, nor does it [...]

I’ve known my best friend Kacy since we were 6 years old. She is truly one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known. She is humble, intelligent and down right hilarious. She is getting married soon and has graciously asked me to be her matron of honor. I’m so excited for her and to [...]

This granola is all about butters…peanut butter and almond butter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but store bought granola runs at least $6 a bag for a decent blend…and even those contain added sugars and oils usually. Well, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a peanut and almond butter granola, so here you go! I also [...]

I’ve got a special treat for you today….and it’s NOT dessert. I’ve been posting a lot of desserts lately, but it is the holidays afterall.

Simple, sweet and bursting with cinnamon. I know, I know….you’re thinking I’m crazy for posting ice cream in December. However, I have a really good reason. I live in Texas and it’s STILL hot! It’s especially fabulous served with my Apple Pecan Crisp! I looovee all the flecks of cinnamon throughout. Gorgeous. Yum. This is such [...]

You might say I’m a little obsessed with hummus. I love it and I love making different flavors of it. I had two very ripe avocados that needed to be used, pronto. So, here you have a protein and healthy fat dip. Delicious and filling. I just dipped carrots in it, but you could even [...]

There isn’t a whole lot to say about this dish other than, it was devoured. I’m not even kidding, I had to hurry to take the photos before inhaling it all. We all have different opinions of what is delicious, but if you like the flavor of rich balsamic vinegar, you will inhale this too! [...]

Roasted red bell peppers, lemon and garlic make this hummus so flavorful…. Mmmm I love hummus but it is usually so expensive in the stores so why not make your own and know it will be fresh! I also love red peppers so the addition to the beans gives it a nice kick. It’s a [...]

I love to snack. In the past my snacking involved too many chips, chocolate or crackers and cheese. Nowadays, not so much. The Funyuns would tend to leave me with an upset stomach…hmm wonder why! These days I snack on almonds, carrots, kale chips or this yummy granola. I have an insane sweet tooth so [...]
