Rosemary Cornbread #SundaySupper #ChooseDreams

May 25, 2014 ·

Cornbread made with buttermilk is given a sophisticated twist with fresh rosemary in this Rosemary Cornbread. This recipe is lightened up and always a favorite!

A couple weeks ago, my family paid a visit to the local nursery to pick up some herbs to plant in a container garden on our deck. The deck is just off the kitchen, and walking out the patio door to pick fresh herbs for my recipes is one of the many things I look forward to each spring. I’m not the only one who looks forward to ‘herb season.’ Adam not only loves the recipes, but he loves to care for the herbs too! Ever since he could walk, he has helped watering. Now with a few years of experience under his 4 year old belt, he has taken over (most) responsibility and really does a great job!

Chocolate Picnic Cake is a simple chocolaty cake that is quick to make and perfect for a picnic or any gathering. It is light, fluffy and delicious!

After spending many months under several feet of snow, we finally got to enjoy some beautiful weather – 60s, sunny, perfect. My kids have been so excited to go to playgrounds, blow bubbles, and play soccer and T-ball.

To celebrate, we thought it would be fun to plan a little picnic! Seeing as no celebration is complete without cake, I quickly whipped together this Chocolate Picnic Cake for a special treat.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

April 18, 2014 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the Facts Up Front program.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake is a lemony buttermilk cake made with whole wheat flour and studded with poppy seeds.

This Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake is made with fresh lemon zest and juice, buttermilk, poppy seeds and whole wheat flour. It is a delicious coffee cake that is great for a special breakfast, snack or light dessert. This cake is so lemony, bright and cheery, it reminds me of spring. Now that we have warmer temperatures and snow melting, spring is finally on its way! One of my favorite things about spring is finally getting outside and being active as a family. We love to run, go on bike rides or just kick around the soccer ball. When kicking our healthy habits into high gear, I also find that we start paying more attention to what we eat. I recently used this Nutrition Calculator to find out my daily caloric needs, as well as fiber, protein and other important nutrients.

Chocolate Coconut Milk Pudding is a smooth, rich chocolaty pudding made using coconut milk, takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and then chills in the refrigerator until set. {gluten free, can be vegan using dairy-free chocolate}

Move over box pudding! This homemade Chocolate Coconut Milk Pudding not only tastes better than its pre-made counterpart, but it is so easy to make! Simply start by whisking the dry ingredients in a sauce pan. Next stir in coconut milk, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until thickened. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate and vanilla extract and stir until chocolate is melted. Pour the pudding into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap (touching the pudding surface) and then chill. It could not be any easier or tastier!…

January 27, 2014 ·

Jalapeno Hummus is a healthy dip (or spread) with a little jalapeno kick. Luckily it takes only 10 minutes to make, because this popular hummus disappears quickly!

With the Big Game just around the corner, I have been putting the finishing touches on my menu planning and coming up with some fun recipes. In fact, it’s almost like planning for the holidays – mass quantities of lots of tasty foods to share with family and friends!

After making Sweet Potato Hummus, I have been looking forward to making more varieties of homemade hummus. This time I thought something a little spicy was in order ~ something like Jalapeno Hummus! With just a few simple ingredients and a food processor (or blender), you are 10 minutes away from one of the best hummus recipes ever! Jalapeno Hummus is flavorful without being too spicy. All of the flavors blend very nicely, with a little jalapeno kick at the end. The recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled!), making Jalapeno Hummus ideal for game day entertaining.

Easy Date Bars

January 10, 2014 ·

Easy Date Bars are a date-filled oatmeal bars inspired by a childhood favorite. They taste similar to my grandma’s recipe, only made a little healthier and are super quick and easy to make!

One of my favorite cookies from childhood is a recipe my grandma used to make, called Trilbies. They are a soft, oatmeal cookie with a date filling. They were SO good. I do have her recipe, but I remember she always complained about how much trouble they were to make. They always end up last on my holiday baking list and never get made. This year, I decided to take my favorite aspects of the recipe – dates and oats – and turn them into simple Easy Date Bars! They taste pretty darn close to the beloved cookie – close enough anyway, because these Easy Date Bars are super easy to make!…
