Snacks

Today I have a delightful recipe to share with you! It is perfect to whip up when you have a party to attend this Holiday season. This recipe is adapted from Anne Byrn Saves the Day , a cookbook with fantastic recipes designed to "rescue any occasion". I had the privilege of going to a live demo of this recipe and have been wanting to try it out ever since. The original recipe calls for cream cheese. I chose to use whole fat greek yogurt, as most store bought cream cheeses do not have a very clean ingredient list. (Sidenote> I have learned that you can substitue healthy whole fat greek...

Hi, Friends! Welcome back to Monday Munchies where I share a simple recipe with you that uses basic ingredients found in your kitchen. On Saturday I went to Pepper Place Market and found these gems! I love tomatoes! What better to highlight each flavor than make a tangy cucumber salad? I grabbed a cucumber, lemon, and 2 types of basil from my garden (one of which is a spicy greek basil. Yum). Then I roughly chopped everhthing, added 1 1/2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and squeezed the juice from one lemon on top. Have fun eating this tangy Cucumber Salad!

Welcome back to Monday Munchies , where I share with you an easy to make recipe that you can create using ingredients you most likely already have on hand. Today I will be sharing with you one of the easiest, most delicious snacks I have ever made. Using two ingredients: ripe cantelope and whole milk vanilla yogurt.

So what better way to enjoy this summer heat than to make popsicles! First take 10-12...

Thank you for joining me for Monday Munchies where I share with you an easy recipe you can make using ingredients you most likely already have in your kitchen. Today I will be sharing with you a simple way to dry fruit using just your oven. The flavor reminds me of fruit roll-ups! So, I guess this is a clean eating alternative! Enjoy. First preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Then slice your fruit to the thickness you prefer. Remember it will shrink up when you bake it, so go a little thicker than I did here. This first time was a learning experience for me. Then take a teaspoon of Coconut...

Welcome back to Monday Munchies, where every Monday I will be sharing a simple, clean eating recipe that you can make using ingredients from your pantry. If you enjoy this recipe, make sure to pin it! I would love to follow your Pinterest boards! Last week for Thirsty Thursdays I did recipes for 5 girly drinks! I ended up with lots of leftover fruit. So I figured, why not make a fresh fruit salad with my leftovers! I chopped up a few strawberries and a couple slices of apple and squeezed some fresh lemon juice on top to keep the apples from browning. Then I chopped up a couple slices of...
