Grilled Naan with Chobani. {pizza crust}

I wanted to try my hand at making homemade Naan.  My husband’s college roommate was Indian and he had several recipes from him that I wanted to transform and use in different ways.  I whipped this recipe up and tried it out on the gas grill outside and it turned out perfectly!  Tonight we are … Continue Reading »

Banana Almond Butter Ice Cream. {Dairy-free.}

  We all have them… the bananas on our kitchen counter that are starting to spoil right in front of our eyes.  I buy so many bananas at the farmer’s market for smoothies and snacks, invariably some remain that look rather dismal and taunt me.  I typically freeze them (for future use) or I whip … Continue Reading »

Turkey Sausage Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.

I bought the most beautiful sweet potatoes, well actually “yams” at the Farmer’s Market.  I had some fresh hot turkey sausage from the market I went to on Saturday and those two were a match made in dinner heaven.  I added a few veggies and beans and we had one of the tastiest dinners that … Continue Reading »

Cherry Almond Chobani Flax Muffins.

  Once again, my trip to the Farmer’s Market, on this very rainy day, dictated what I would create and post here today.  Cherries were everywhere and I couldn’t be happier.  I purchased about 5 lbs and couldn’t wait to get home to whip up some delicious muffins for snacking.  I always love to make … Continue Reading »

Memorial Day Hiking.

Admittedly, I’m not all about food.  I love exercising and today marks me losing 30 lbs!  Crazy but I started clean eating in November and today I stand 30 lbs lighter and a lot stronger. Amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind, heart and soul behind it.  Today I’m the exact weight … Continue Reading »

Berry Banana Coconut Popsicles.

    The holiday weekend is upon us and that means one thing – SUMMER is here!  Now regrettably, our weather in PA will not be reflective of this season change but it’s all good.  I know, as I sit here typing with the a/c on, the heat will arrive again and sweating will commence. … Continue Reading »

Chimichurri.

Chimichurri is a South American version of pesto that is served atop or along side meat and veggies.  I’m planning on grilling up a ton of fresh veggies from the farmer’s market and I thought this would be perfection for a vegetarian dish.  I will, however, grill up some chicken for my favorite carnivores to … Continue Reading »

Almond butter chickpea chocolate chip cookies.

I’ve made chickpea cookies before. None of which really knocked my socks off to be quite honest.  I thought I would whip up a batch today, tweaking as I went to see how they turned out.  I found a recipe that I loosely modified from Brit and Co. I always make a “goodie” for an … Continue Reading »

Homemade Sprinkle Chobani Cookies.

  It’s been a long week. The month of May always seems to be. End-of-year activities, birthdays, projects, swimming etc. etc. The list could go on forever. Today, while my website was getting a much needed facelift, I whipped up, in no time I might add, these fun Chobani-filled sprinkle cookies. They are very reminiscent … Continue Reading »

The Crumbs Cupcake.

I’ve been a die-hard Crumbs Cupcake fan before it was trendy.  I always would hit up the store while in NYC or have my husband go for me if he was there on business.  It got to the point that my friends were waiting with bated breath when they knew I was coming home because … Continue Reading »
