This week, Sunday Supper partnered with Gourmet Garden to share easy Holiday entertaining recipes. We were provided with a wide variety of Gourmet Garden products, including various herbs, garlic, ginger and more. These products are used like fresh herbs in a one-to-one ratio, but can be used in place of dried, typically at a two-to-one ratio. So, two tablespoons Gourmet Garden ginger equals one tablespoon dried ginger….

Sweet and Spicy Pepitas are roasted pumpkin seeds made into a crunchy snack that is a little sweet, a little spicy and a lot delicious! {naturally nut-free, gluten-free and vegan}
With Fall upon us, I am in full pumpkin mode. So far I have made pumpkin cake, pie, pasta, muffins, and still have more pumpkin recipes I want to make this season. Not only do I love pumpkin puree, I also adore pumpkin seeds and pepitas! Pepitas are the lovely little raw green seeds inside the pumpkin seed shell. They are a great alternative to nuts, yet offer many of the same health benefits. Like nuts, they are packed with protein, vitamins and antioxidants. I find them in the bulk bin at the grocery store or sometimes near the bags of sunflower seeds….
Sweet Potato Hummus is a little sweet, a little spicy and a lot delicious! This hummus is healthy, quick and easy to make, and vegan.
With Football season means it is tailgating time! Whenever I’m tailgating, at a barbecue, picnic or party, the first thing I look for is something healthy, like fresh vegetables. And if there is something healthy to go with them, such as hummus, I am a happy girl! It just so happens that ‘tailgating’ is the theme for this week’s Sunday Supper, and I am bringing to the party a healthy treat to go with that ~ Sweet Potato Hummus!
Who would have thought the addition of sweet potato to a basic hummus recipe, along with some spice and some heat, would result in such a tasty (and healthy!) dip. Paprika and chipotle seasoning really enhance the sweet potato and are otherwise complementary to the traditional hummus flavors. Sweet Potato Hummus is also very easy to make and a wonderful accompaniment to a vegetable tray, pretzel crisps or whole wheat pita chips. It would also be great on a wrap or as a sandwich spread.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the Sunday Supper group brought to our Tailgate party!

Honey Roasted Chickpeas with Sea Salt are a healthy, sweet and salty snack that is easy to make. They are high in fiber, protein-packed, gluten free, dairy free…and Adam can’t get enough of them (in other words, they’re toddler friendly too!)
Honey Roasted Chickpeas are made with only a few simple ingredients, and you most likely have everything you need already in your pantry. In fact, all you really need is one ingredient, and that’s the chickpeas. The additional ingredients are simply for flavoring, but roasted chickpeas are super crunchy and delicious straight from the oven. In this case I made them honey roasted with sea salt, however I have other variations in the works that I am excited to share with you soon!
Today I am being featured over at Momma’s Meals where I’m being featured as part of Tammi’s Featured Fridays series! Every Friday, Tammi gets to know her fellow bloggers and makes one of their recipes to share with her family and then with her readers.
I thought it would be fun to make something from Tammi’s site to share with you, and her Individual Deep Dish Pizzas were perfect! Incidentally I had been looking at an Everyday Food recipe for little deep dish pizzas made in a muffin tin, so these Mini Deep-Dish Pizzas that I’m sharing with you is sort of a combination of the two recipes.

One of our favorite cuisines is Mexican, and an essential accompaniment is (of course) guacamole. For a while now, I have been saving recipes for guacamole and finally decided it was time to make my own. I wanted to give it with a healthy twist incorporating one of my favorite foods – enter Edamame Guacamole.
This guacamole did not disappoint. There are little flecks of edamame throughout, adding a protein and fiber boost. Along with the good fats from the avocado, this guacamole is a nutrition powerhouse. The combination of the onion, chile and salsa (I used medium) give this guacamole some zip without being overpowering. Below I listed the amounts that I used, but really everything can be adjusted to taste. It is such a flexible and forgiving recipe. This Edamame Guacamole tasted so fresh and delicious, I almost grabbed a bag of baked tortilla chips and some crudites and called it dinner. Almost….but I needed to save some for a special recipe that I will be sharing with you tomorrow. Edamame Guacamole meets an old childhood favorite!

After a long day of work and play, it’s nice to have some healthy quick and easy meals ideas on hand. These Mushroom and Leek Pita Pizzas fit that bill quite nicely. Mushrooms and leeks are a delicious combination, and a little garlic and crushed red pepper give this pizza a little pizazz. The whole wheat pitas serve as a sturdy crust. Topped with some low fat ricotta and lots of vegetables, these pitas turned pizzas become a healthy dinner in less than 20 minutes.

What happens when you cross peanuts with pretzels and Reese’s peanut butter puffs cereal? This Reindeer Snack Mix, that’s what! Each ingredient on its own is fabulous, of course. When mixed together with some melted white chocolate, you have a snack mix that is really too good for words. Yes folks, I am speechless. Or maybe I am just too busy stuffing my face with more snack mix. 🙂 Either way, I will simply leave you with this. It’s the holidays. You are bound to have guests or to be a guest. Here is a fun and easy little snack that will leave everybody singing your praises this holiday season!
