Apples with Chocolate chip Peanut Butter

Apples With Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter

September 6, 2016 by Sally

Let’s pretend it’s autumn, shall we? Because I’d rather be crunching through leaves while wearing jeans instead of swatting mosquitos while sweating through a sundress. The thermometer may refuse to budge, but I’m moving on. In the snack department at least. There is perhaps no more perfect fall snack than slices of crisp apples dipped into peanut …

Homemade Wild Blueberry Fruit Leather

March 10, 2016 by Sally

I’m very happy to be working with Wild Blueberries, who sponsored today’s post. I sort of have a thing about making homemade fruit leathers. I can’t bring myself to buy the boxed kind, with synthetic dyes, preservatives, and even hydrogenated oils. Once I figured out how simple it was to make them myself, I was hooked. …

No-Bake Chocolate Peppermint Bites

December 4, 2015 by Sally

Do you have a love-hate relationship with frosted holiday sugar cookies like I do? They look so good. They taste SO GOOD. Problem is, they don’t feel so good. One buttercream-glazed cut-out snowman sends me into a headachy stupor. Though I’ll probably still have a sugar cookie or two this holiday season–because you know, maybe this time it …

Avocado Toast Obsession (Plus 7 More Ways To Eat Avocados)

March 4, 2015 by Sally

I’m a chronically early person. If I’m meeting you for lunch at noon, I’m there at 11:45 looking at the menu. Invite me to your shindig and I’ll arrive unfashionably early (on the upside, I’ll also help with last minute prep!). But when it comes to food, I’m often late to the party. Like avocado toast. It was all …
