Hold on to your hats, boys and girls. Anyone who loves pumpkin pie is going to swoon over this dip. I know I just posted a pumpkin pie-ish recipe last week, but clearly I can't get enough of the flavor. When I posted the recipe for my Sweet White Bean Apple Dip, one of my readers (Hi, Mari Jo!) ...

Nutty Apple Quinoa Breakfast
Most sources say that a pregnant woman needs around 70 grams of protein a day. Recently I've been reading a book that suggests it's better to get 80-100 grams a day. That's a lot of protein! When I kept track of what I ate for a day (What This Pregnant Mama Eats) I totaled 74 grams of protein. ...
Gluten & dairy-free pumpkin pie bars
Happy Halloween! We had a fun weekend filled with Halloween festivities. Meghan, as the cutest bumble bee I've ever seen, wore her costume to various events all week. Halloween becomes a week-long event these days! Tim and I had an adult costume party to attend this weekend. As you can ...
Potato cauliflower bake
Sometimes, I have a hard time deciding which recipes I should feature on my blog. I never know what is going to strike a chord or, most importantly, which recipes are going to be most useful for my readers. This is not a recipe I planned to blog about. This was one of those ...
Halloween stuffed peppers
I loved reading all of your confessions in the comment section of yesterday's post. They actually made me think of about 10 more confessions I could have added to my list. For today, I'll stick with two confessions. First, there's not a new recipe in today's post. I simply used ...
Healthy apple peanut butter cookie bites-49 calories each
I wouldn't classify any kind of baking as easy, per se. Baking is a science that's easy to screw up. But when it comes to different types of baking, I'd say that unhealthy baking is infinitely easier than healthy baking. Throw a few sticks of butter, a cup of white sugar, half a cup of brown ...
Thai marinated tempeh nuggets
I am well aware that at least 50 percent of my readers saw the title and either a.) deleted their email notification without reading any more or b.) have already clicked away from the page, completely scared of the word "tempeh". The rest of you are either humoring me and reading with eyebrows ...
Spinach salad with roasted grapes, feta, and walnuts
I haven't been in the mood for salads as much since fall arrived. Comfort foods and soups took their place on the menu as the temperatures started to drop. Then, Mother Nature got confused and summer-like temperatures re-emerged. I'm not complaining. I'll take as many sunny and 80 degree days ...
Sweet white bean apple dip with baked cinnamon chips
I turn into Snacky McSnackerton at night. I can't blame it on pregnancy, because even when I don't have a bun in the oven, my body needs to eat sometime between 8-9pm. Having something healthy (and tasty!) on hand is so important for me. If I don't, I end up forcing Tim to go out and buy my ...
Crockpot apple cinnamon bread pudding
Remember those crown-shaped princess sandwiches I made for Meghan's birthday party? As you can imagine, they created a lot of leftover bread. There's no way I was going to throw all that leftover bread away, so what's a girl to do? Make one of her favorite desserts--bread pudding! I think ...
Layered Vegetable Crockpot Casserole
This is a super busy week for me. I'm sure you've all been there. It's one of those weeks where I just don't have more than 20 or 30 minutes to spend on dinner. So last week when my sister-in-law requested vegetarian crockpot recipes, it was perfect timing. This meal took about 20 minutes to ...
Pumpkin spiced white hot chocolate
This warm drink combines two of my favorite flavors: pumpkin spices and chocolate. Really, you can't go wrong here. Even though fall doesn't officially start until September 23rd, it was here the moment I took a drink of this spicy, comforting hot chocolate drink. When I saw this picture of a ...
