This garlicky creamy hummus is money!  You may already have the ingredients in your pantry! When the pandemic started suddenly I was gifted three hours of no commute.   I never really watched YouTube except to look up recipe ideas, or learn how to make something like gnocchi from an Italian grandmother.  But, I started watching Isabel Paige – a young woman who built a tiny...

These banana bread granola muffins need to jump to the top of your list of things to make! What is the new flavor of Safe + Fair Granola? Banana Bread Granola!   Every time they come out with a new flavor I declare it’s my favorite, and THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!  It’s not overly sweet, crunchy and has that delicious banana bread flavor.   Are you...

These mini pumpkin chocolate chip muffins make a great breakfast and are perfect for meal prep. Once I posted these on Instagram, the question I got most was “I don’t have mini loaf pans – can I make it into a bigger loaf?”  I have no idea – I actually don’t think it would be enough to fill a regular loaf pan.  These mini loaf...

These healthy ice cream sandwiches will be on repeat when you realize how easy they are to make. The reason I made these was because my Mom gave me THE BEST ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever had for Christmas.  They are from a brand called Nightingale from Richmond, VA – you can buy them from Goldbelly if you have a special occasion to purchase them. ...

Instant Pot Potato Soup For some reason I don’t take advantage of my Instant Pot as much as I should.  This Instant Pot Potato Soup was so easy and delicious!  And as of December 2024 with the new Weight Watchers change, its ZERO POINTS!  Whoop!  Add a touch of extra cheese and bacon bits on top. Sunday night I normally go through my pantry/fridge and...

After a few days traveling I contemplated hitting up Burger King on my way home.  Then I remembered I had frozen cherry tomatoes and this tomato soup was ready in 30 minutes. Seriously, I don’t know why my brain goes to junk food when I don’t have a plan or travel.  I have to remember it’s not my birthday every day – ha! Can you...

Chia Cottage Cheese Pancakes These chia cottage cheese pancakes are so light and fluffy.  Best part is that you probably already have the ingredients on hand! My mantra last year was to waste less.  I’ve decided to start out my new year using up ingredients that I have on hand.  A quick look of my pantry and fridge, I found chia seeds, oats and cottage...

My friend Justin posted a ramen soup yesterday and I decided to make my version of that soup.  Salt and Pepper Tofu Ramen! Justin turned me on to white miso pasta a couple years ago, and it gives this broth such a rich flavor, that it only tastes as if the broth took two days to make.  Typically ramen broth requires pork bones to be...

Homemade Ferrero Rocher My stepson Joe LOVES Ferrero Rocher.  It became a joke every birthday and Christmas to get him a giant package.  I think he’ll love my homemade Ferrero Rocher! What is Ferrero Rocher? Ferrero Rocher is a popular chocolate confection made by the Italian company Ferrero. It consists of a whole roasted hazelnut covered in a thin wafer shell, filled with hazelnut chocolate...
