Roasted Carrot Dip
This is going to be your new favorite dip! My first taste of this was at a dinner party hosted by my friend, Wendy. She’s a fabulous home cook and she also wants her food to be delicious and healthy! What’s so amazing about this dip is that it uses 2 pounds of carrots! That’s…
Tahini Granola
This will be the fastest granola you’ll ever make. Basically, it’s stir and bake and with just 5 ingredients, you will never buy granola again. The flavor is so well-balanced because the hint of nutty bitterness from the tahini plays well with the slight sweetness from the maple syrup. Most granola recipes take 45 minutes…

4-Ingredient Apple Cake
Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this cake! Eggs, whole wheat flour, apples and brown sugar.

You can add…

Nothing is more refreshing than a wedge of juicy watermelon on a hot summer day. For a fun little twist, add some yogurt and fruit and call it pizza. Set out a toppings bar and have your kids make their own. It’s a perfect little treat for your Labor Day celebration!

Warm muffins, right out of your oven, on a weekday morning? Yes, please! Make the batter over the weekend, put it in your fridge, then bake the muffins later in the week (or even 2 weeks later). Sometimes I only want to bake 6 muffins, not 12, and this recipe gives you the flexibility to…

Dates, walnuts (or almonds, I made two versions for this post), and 100% cocoa powder. That’s it! Put all three ingredients in a food processor and whirl until mixture comes together.
