Every September it’s like Christmas to me because the seasonal granola is out from Safe + Fair!  These pumpkin crunch muffins are the best muffins I’ve ever made. Light, fluffy, tender crumb and the pumpkin crunch on top just seals the deal. In my heavier days, I lived on giant sized bakery muffins as my “pre-breakfast.”  You know, the breakfast you eat on the train...

You must put these banana bread pancakes on the top of your list to meal prep this week.  So delicious! For whatever reason lately, once I buy bananas, if I don’t eat any the day I buy them, the next day they are basically ready to use as banana bread.  When my son-in-law lived here, I made so many things with bananas because Hannah wouldn’t...

These key lime bites will be the hit at your next BBQ!  I plan on making these all summer. Safe + Fair has what I like to call their summer flavors for me – Key Lime Pie Granola and Strawberry Shortcake Granola – along with their respective popcorn flavors.  Yum!  The key lime is one of my favorites.  It’s light, bright and not overly sweet. ...

Salt and Pepper Tofu Stir Fry If you haven’t tried tofu in a while, definitely try my salt and pepper tofu stir fry – quick and delicious!

These spicy hummus deviled eggs will become your favorite!

Pro tip – buy already made hard boiled eggs and save...

The secret to my vegan tomato soup recipe?  Silken Tofu! A couple weeks ago I bought silken tofu for a pancake recipe, and I never ended up making it.  My lunch out yesterday was 24 points, and I thought for sure I’d be over my healthy range for the day on WW.  Nope!  This vegan tomato soup was made mostly in my blender, and other...

How to make homemade blueberry waffles Ingredients you’ll need – that you probably already have on hand! flour – you can use self-rising or all purpose baking powder – yes, I still add baking powder even though I use self-rising flour salt unsweetened almond milk eggs...

This garlicky creamy hummus is money!  You may already have the ingredients in your pantry!
