I’m a complete sucker for Valentine’s Day. It all began way back in Mrs. Goldberg’s kindergarten class when we got to decorate our Valentine’s Day boxes. We covered those babies with so much glitter and stickers they would have made Lisa Frank proud. In addition to working tirelessly to transform plain shoeboxes into something that really represented who you [Read more >>]
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I’m sure many of you already have your table settings ready to go and menus planned down to the wine pairings. Then there’s me… I will be hosting a small Thanksgiving dinner at my house and don’t have the slightest clue what will be served alongside the turkey. However, I DO [Read more >>]
Don’t forget about Father’s Day on Sunday! Dads, grandfathers, and father figures all deserve to know how much we appreciate them and everything they have taught us. My dad has educated me well on the finer things in life such as fishing, old cars, Pete Townshend, and cheese (he’s from Wisconsin). Thanks, Dad! Since we can have more than [Read more >>]
There’s no doubt about it, farmers markets are one of the best parts of summer! I love nothing more than an early morning trip to the market with my coffee in hand. Remember how much I love coffee? Anyway, back to the market… There’s just something about all the colors, sounds, and smells that makes for the [Read more >>]
I’m a huge fan of mixing sweet and heat and these Mexican Spice Truffles are indisputably one of my favorite recipes! It only seems appropriate that I share this with you on Cinco de Mayo. You’ll find yourself torn between eating the whole truffle in one bite, and making them last as long as possible. I think the latter is what [Read more >>]
Believe it or not, there was once a time in my life where I disliked pecan pie. (Yeah, it was kind of a dark time.) For some reason, it just didn’t ring my bell the same way Dutch Apple or Banana Cream did. I figured I’d just live out the rest of my days drinking [Read more >>]
These Coconut Oat Chip Bites had every intention of being one of those supah-healthy treats like these Black Bean Truffles. However, I could not resist adding sweetened condensed milk to help hold these puppies together. So while they aren’t too naughty, I wasn’t sure whether to classify them as a health food. Of course, my [Read more >>]
Take a deep breath, bacon fanatics. This just happened. Diced bacon atop chocolate peanut butter truffles. And it happened very well. Trust me on this one. There were a couple special ingredients that I believe made these truffles extra awesome. 1-Bacon. Duh. The whole salty+sweet combo – you with me? 2-Chocolate Peanut Butter. Heaven by [Read more >>]
You are going to love these Gluten Free Chickpea (aka Garbanzo beans) Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles. They taste like a very mild peanut butter truffle, healthified. You will NOT find any flour or butter used in these bites. You will find protein, zinc, and folate from the chickpeas. Yeah, you’re welcome. Now before you [Read more >>]
Do you like chocolate? If you’re here, the answer is probably yes. If not, you’re most likely lost. You may or may not have seen black beans popping up in dessert recipes such as brownies and truffles. To be honest, I have always been curious and intrigued about black bean dessert recipes but never took the plunge. Until [Read more >>]
I love this Ginger Cookie Truffle recipe for several reasons. 1. I have about 9 billion things to do before the holidays and this was the easiest yet. 2. No baking required (I’ve done enough of that!) 3. Easy on the wallet 4. Scrumptious Ginger Cookie Truffles Print Prep time 1 hour Total time 1 [Read more >>]
