Cinnamon Baked Apples with Yogurt satisfies that apple pie sweet tooth while being a healthier option with fewer calories. I have partnered with Dannon to help promote Light & Fit. I have been compensated for my time commitment. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have no been paid to publish positive comments….
Peppermint Bark
The cool flavor of peppermint mixed with the rich chocolate and creamy white chocolate make the perfect holiday treat. A little goes a long way! It’s my birthday today, I am officially OLD and you gotta have something sweet on your birthday, right? Well a bite of this chocolate and maybe a cupcake will be…
Foodie Holiday Gift Guide
We all know how quickly this month flies by and personally I have the best intentions to get shopping done early. Easier said than done due to having 4 kids, a hubby, 3 teachers, parents, mother-in-law and grandparent to buy for. I would say I am 50% of the way done, which is pretty good…
Marinated Goat Cheese with Herbs & Lemon
I am super excited about Thanksgiving next week. The kids have the week off so we will definitely be having some fun, both here in Louisiana and hopefully Texas. I posted this recipe 5 years ago! Not only is it delicious, but the recipe includes a lot of ingredients that are likely in your pantry…

Of course food plays a big role in that. There are so many wonderful memories associated with food. I love to think back at my childhood…
Kale and Bacon Gratin
Can you believe it’s Thanksgiving already? I don’t think time could move any faster! I’m in full pie mode right now and debating on what to do for our vegetable side dishes. So many choices, so little time. I’ve never been into creamy vegetables like creamed spinach. It’s not that I don’t like creamy. I do. I…

Mini Cherry Cheesecake Bites
As magical as pregnancy can be, I am just about ready for this one to be over- 38 weeks, tired, uncomfortable and in need of a good workout (and a good glass of wine!). I am not even that excited about Holiday eating because there isn’t much room in my belly for it. What I…
