Everything’s better in Paris.
At least, that’s what they say. While I cannot personally attest to this global attitude (yet!), I have to admit that the French just know how to do things right. Croissants, cheese, wine, escargot (surprisingly delicious!), and chocolate.
Good grief. I’ll never buy powdered hot cocoa again after trying this Peppermint French Hot Chocolate. If this is any indication of how much better things taste in France, I’m booking a ticket ASAP. [Read more…]
There’s something about this time of year where warm fireplaces and comfort food seem to prevail. One of my favorites for fall is a healthy and hearty soup.
My favorite soup growing up was chicken and stars so today I thought I’d elevate that to a healthy and gluten-free chicken noodle soup. I love that this recipe is so simple and only uses one pot. Plus, you can get it to the table in under 30 minutes! (That’s what I call a mom-win!)
Thanksgiving is probably the only holiday I can think of where appetizers are never really needed.
I mean, think about it. If you’re part of the Feast Cooking Team, you’re “tasting” all day, to the point where you can barely eat a full plate come dinner time. And, if you’re on the Football & Beer Crew, you’re most likely sneaking in the kitchen during refills and swiping any bites you can, leaving no need for a table of nibbles to keep you satisfied until dinner is ready.
In the case of this Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Ball, though…you may want to just have it in the kitchen to curb your turkey- or yam-snacking. I promise, you’ll still be hungry for stuffing later!
Fall is here and nothing reminds me of the season more than pumpkin. It doesn’t seem to matter what form it takes, I love pumpkin anything!
But put pumpkin in a smoothie bowl – and it just about tops everything else pumpkin! So now you are probably asking yourself, what’s a smoothie bowl? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. A smoothie that is made thick enough to place in a bowl and eat with a spoon. The best thing about smoothie bowls is you can top it with your favorite healthy toppings, anything from granola to berries, sliced fruit to nuts and seeds or even dates and extra spices. This makes a smoothie bowl so much more satisfying than a smoothie in a glass. It’s that spoon/fork to mouth relationship with food that gives you the feeling that you actually ate a meal rather than just sipped a drink. In other words, it’s perfect!
