File these under things I can’t. stop. eating. For the last week I’ve been having at least one bowl a day. I crave it for breakfast and lunch, want it for an afternoon snack, and then it calls to me late at night before I go to bed. I mean seriously, it’s a problem.

Oven Baked Cinnamon-Pecan Almond Butter Banana Boats
Bananas stuffed with almond butter and cinnamon toasted pecans, baked in the oven for a healthy treat! Yesterday I found myself “cracking out on nut butter and fruit” and this was the result. Technically, these oven baked Cinnamon-Pecan Almond Butter Banana Boats aren’t Whole30 compliant. The ingredients are, but the concept isn’t. While on…
Tips for Helping Kids Choose Healthy Snacks & Lunches
Whether it’s snacking and eating at home, eating in the car on a road trip, or packing a lunch for school or the park, getting my kids to eat healthy has been a challenge in the past. But like with all parenting challenges, we get a little bit wiser as our kids get a little…
Jalapeño Tzatziki Dip & Jalapeño Tzatziki Pretzel Bites
Life has been a little crazy lately. Last weekend I went on a girls trip and my husband was simultaneously interviewing with a company in San Diego. He got an offer and we accepted. So we turned around as soon as we got home from our trips and went back to San Diego to house…
Fluffernutter Quesadillas
Fact: Kristy loves peanut butter. Fact: Kristy loves peanut butter + marshmallow (aka fluffernutter). Fact: Kristy has been eating one fluffernutter quesadilla every day for the last week! Probably a fact but she’s too afraid to check: Kristy has gained five pounds!! Seriously though, this is a dangerously addicting snack…or dessert…or whatever you want to…
No Bake Cookie Banana Bites
No Bake cookies have always been one of my favorite treats! Probably because of the combination of chocolate and peanut butter (I almost always add a little extra peanut butter.) I have a not so healthy version you can try, and a healthier version to try too. Both are delicious, and addicting, and my go-to for a…
Blueberry Almond Chia Granola
Last weekend I attended the Inspire Retreat at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah hosted by my good friend Carrian of Sweet Basil. I just love that girl. She organized a weekend retreat for bloggers to come relax, collaborate, eat a lot of really good food, and inspire each other. I’ll have a full recap…
Garlic & Basil Whipped Feta
Whipped feta has been something on my list of things to try ever since seeing it over on Jessica’s blog. It just looked sooo fluffy. Considering how much I love feta cheese, and how easy this stuff is to make, I’m kicking myself for not making it sooner. It’s as easy as whipping some feta…
Lemon Blueberry Turnovers {Back to School with Pillsbury}
Going right along with Monday’s post, my friends and I are sharing some great Breakfasts & Snacks with Pillsbury today. If you’re looking for some creative ideas we’ve got you covered…. I decided to make something for breakfast. Something sweet. Something simple. And something kids will love– Crescent rolls filled with a lemon blueberry cream cheese filling drizzled…
Halloween Muddy Buddy Mix
Muddy Buddies are one of my favorite childhood treats. Only we called it puppy chow– and I’m not really sure why. I think my mom made it for every road trip we went on, and let me tell you, it didn’t last long in a car full of three boys and this food-lovin’-girl. I hadn’t…
