Food
If you haven’t noticed, I’m on a bit of a healthy snack-making kick. Last week, I shared this beet chips recipe. This week, it’s carrot chips. Now that I realized just how easy it is to make healthy snacks at home, I’m not stopping there! I’m all about finding interesting ways to get my kids to try new foods, and these baked carrot chips are no exception.
Today is my kids’ first day of school so I’m already thinking about fun and simple afterschool snacks I can serve them. I’m not sure about your family, but we tend to get stuck in a snacking rut – the little fish shaped crackers or an apple sauce packet. I tend to lose most of my creativity by the afterschool hour. So, I’ve decided to try my hand at making some easy homemade snacks like these simple beet chips.
Did you know you can make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker? Well you absolutely can! Today I’m going to share with you how I made this dulce de leche ice cream at home without an ice cream maker. It is SO easy AND SO good.
It’s almost back to school time and it happens to be National Zucchini Day, so I wanted to whip up a quick, easy, and healthy snack that is perfect for afterschool. These zucchini Parmesan crisps are so simple to make and totally kid-friendly.
I’m a genius. No really. Well, not really. But these strawberry lemon sugar cookies make me feel like a genius. I had no idea how amazing dried strawberries would be in a lemon sugar cookie recipe. These are amazing. You need to make them now.
Have you ever eaten a chocolate semifreddo, or any semifreddo for that matter? I haven’t, up until I made one. It is shocking that I lived so much of my life without ever trying one. My family heritage is Italian.
My mornings don’t start until I’ve had my cold brew coffee at home. Although I love getting it at my local coffee shop, most mornings, I’m hustling to get my kids ready for school (or summer camp). I just found a new favorite way for me to get my cold brew coffee fix at my local Vons Store, which makes it ultra-convenient. I’m loving the Java House® Dual-Use Liquid Coffee Pods, which I can find in the cold brew section in the coffee aisle.
I’ve been on a bit of a health kick lately after staring 2019 off not so well. I had the best of intentions when I started this year, to focus on my health. But moving to a new state is very stressful, and a lot of my healthy habits slipped earlier this year. Finally, a couple weeks ago, I got back on track with healthy eating and exercise. I’ve been focusing a lot more on whole foods, and that’s where this great recipe for broccoli salad comes in.
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! Ever since I first moved to Phoenix in 2004, I’ve been a fan of that day. I mean, it’s another excused to enjoy great Mexican food and yummy drinks with my friends. After living in Boston for awhile, I can honestly say I missed Mexican food the most.
