My favorite candy bar, by far, is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. But, I actually love the holiday-shaped Reese’s even more. I don’t play favorites, I equally love the eggs, trees, pumpkins, and hearts. But there is something that I just love about the holiday-shaped Reese’s even more than the originals. That’s why I decided to make this copycat Reese’s eggs recipe. These homemade peanut butter eggs are so easy to make and almost as good as the original.

It’s almost that time of year to get ready for Easter. That’s why I made these cute nutter butter Easter bunnies. They are so easy to make and my kids loved them! They didn’t turn out as perfectly as I’d like, but they are very fun and festive for the Easter holiday.

My family’s favorite meal is definitely breakfast. During the workweek, we often have breakfast for dinner. I’m so glad my kids love it because breakfast is such an easy meal to put together and it’s generally pretty healthy too (at least the way I do it).

My dear friend is going to Paris in March and it got me thinking about all of my trips to Paris. I’ve been there 4 times and each trip has been unique and special. There are certain places in the world I think I could travel to every year. London, Paris, and New York come to mind.

I’ve been obsessed with the Starbucks bacon gruyere egg bites for a while now. I recently tried the kale and mushroom egg bites and I love them too! Although I never thought I’d get tired of the bacon egg bites, it was time for a change. The kale and mushroom bites are so good too, so I wanted to come up with a recipe to make these copycat Starbucks egg bites at home, just like I did with the bacon ones.

I love lemons and lemon-flavored desserts. I recently made these lemon-lime cookie bars, which were a huge hit. Also, I’ve previously shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes that I’d make again. Although I’ve made lemon cookies before, I’ve never made lemon shortbread cookies, but it’s something I’ve wanted to try.

Each week, I try to replace at least a couple of meals with a plant-based or vegetarian alternative. Last week, I made this vegan chili, which was so delicious. I decided I’d try another healthy recipe, so I decided on chickpea burgers using my favorite legume – chickpeas/garbanzo beans. This recipe is for vegan chickpea burgers, but I also share ways to change it up if you don’t like chickpeas.

I love to make chili in the winter. I haven’t made chili in a long time, so I decided to try something totally different. The other chili recipe I love is a healthy crockpot chili using ground turkey. This vegan chili recipe using chorizo, which gives it a great rich and slightly spicy flavor.
