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.

Favorite Holiday Foods #SilkHolidays
As I write this, I am getting giddy with the thought of the holidays. Year after year they fly by too quickly as we become consumed with shopping, crafting, working, trying to do it all, but I am really working on savoring the moment. When thinking about past years, the best part of the holidays…
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…

I was asked to participate in the “#SoyInspired for Thanksgiving” campaign as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I was compensated for my time. Oh. My. Gosh.

Cheesy Brown Rice Gratin with Zucchini and Eggplant
I wouldn’t say rice is my favorite grain; I do love it with Asian food but it doesn’t make a very regular appearance in my weekly menus. A couple years ago my kids tried the traditional cheesy broccoli rice casserole during the Holidays and loved it. When I saw this dish, Cheesy Brown Rice Gratin…
Butternut Squash Stuffing
Yesterday I kicked my kids out of the house (with their Dad of course) so that I could watch Thanksgiving Live on the Food Network. I absolutely loved it last year and learned some great tips! It totally got me in the mood to cook and now I can’t wait to eat Thanksgiving dinner! I’am…
Crostini with Whipped Feta and Tomatoes
This is hands down one of my favorite appetizers ever. I made it for the first time a while back when my mom was in town and we ate it several nights for dinner. Wine and crostini. What more do you need? By the way, have you ever wondered the difference between crostini and bruschetta?…
