Homemade Granola Bar Recipes, Dietitian Approved
I love a homemade granola bar for breakfast and snacks and I also love the great variety of recipes you can find on how to make them. I thought I’d ask some fellow RD bloggers to share one of their homemade granola bar recipes with you so you can save them all to your Granola…

Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Hi friends, did you miss me on Friday? I didn’t post because I was on a very special date. My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and took a trip to Walla Walla, the Washington wine country. It was a fabulous trip if you ever have the chance to go. Those that voted…
Pasta with Creamy Tomato Sauce {Vegan, Gluten Free}
As I sit here writing this, it’s 55 degrees and sunny out. I am itching to get outside but have too much to do inside. Don’t you hate that? We have the perfect little library in our neighborhood. It’s small, cozy, clean and the kids beg to go there every week. Since it’s so close…

Oatmeal-Raisin Pancakes {Gluten Free, Dairy Free}
I hope you are starting off the year right by focusing on the types of foods you are eating, rather than stressing about calorie counting. I have been a bit of a breakfast rut. I am too lazy busy to get the kids anything special for breakfast before school so we’ve been relying on cereal and yogurt…
Easy Popcorn Trail Mix
I am still recovering from the weekend- Halloween…trick-or-treating with 4 young children = so much fun! I loved seeing their excitement. We went to our neighborhood downtown where the local businesses hosted an early trick-or-treat event around 4:00pm. Then home and a quick stop for a bite to eat at our neighbors’ annual Halloween party…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Balls {Vegan, Gluten Free}
The world of blogging really jumped on the energy bite/ball bandwagon. I am pretty sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a food blogger without one on their blog. And for good reason. They’re the perfect snack. I started making them over 6 years ago when I wanted snacks to have on hand while I was…
Christmas Chocolate Drops with Dove® Chocolate
I love Holiday baking. I don’t know why it’s so much more fun than baking any other time of year. I suppose the excitement of the Holidays is in the air, Christmas music is playing (well maybe not quite yet), we are thinking about the time we’ll spend with our loved ones. It’s a magical time of year. Today…
