A few months ago I told you about one of our new favorite snacks - these Fudgy Snack Balls - which continue to be a staple in our rotation. The concept is really flexible, though, with variations on this date/nut ball theme all over the internet. So in the spirit of experimentation, I decided to … Continue reading Cookie Dough Snack Balls

A New PlanetBox in the Collection!
Those of you who follow my lunch photos either on Facebook or on the Lunch Packing section of the blog are likely familiar with the lunch box we use and love, the PlanetBox Rover. I really can't say enough good things about our PlanetBox - it's completely non-toxic, holds a great amount of food, encourages me to … Continue reading A New PlanetBox in the Collection!
Fudgy Snack Balls
I have to confess, I've been holding out on you. I first discovered this recipe last summer, and even though it was HUGELY successful I haven't gotten around to sharing until now! For that, I apologize, but hopefully once you go and make these you will forgive me. My girls both seem to have inherited … Continue reading Fudgy Snack Balls
Slow Cooker Apple Sauce
As much as I love the produce of summer (fruit and tomatoes in particular!), I have to say, I am awfully excited for fall. Not only do I absolutely love the changing colors of the leaves and the cooler temperatures, but apple season makes me incredibly happy. I am guilty of buying imported organic apples … Continue reading Slow Cooker Apple Sauce
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)
People like to talk about seasonal food, but with modern transportation and grocery stores, it's sometimes easy to forget that most of us do not live in an area where a wide variety of produce grows year-round. And yet even though you can pretty much always get things like lettuce, carrots, bananas, and apples, in … Continue reading Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread/Muffins (Whole Wheat)
Granola
If you're going to make yogurt at home, doesn't it follow that you need to make granola to go with it? Well, maybe not, but there are a lot of good reasons to make your own granola. You come out way ahead cost wise, but in my opinion the most important one is that you … Continue reading Granola
Onion Dip
I told you all about my love for onion dip when I was a kid when I shared my version of Mark Bittman's Veggie Dip. I also shared another dip recipe - Spinach Leek Dip - which is also delicious. But sometimes nothing quite replaces classic onion dip served with potato chips - times like … Continue reading Onion Dip
Crunchy Nut Bars
In my post on Coconut Granola Bars, I mentioned that I've been looking for the perfect bar recipe for ages with very little success. Well, in a stroke of really good luck, it seems like I've found two great recipes in just a few short weeks! One of the blogs I follow is called Enlightened … Continue reading Crunchy Nut Bars
Coconut Granola Bars
Most of you are probably unaware, but I have been obsessively making various kinds of granola and protein bars for months. I have a serious addiction to NuGo Organic Double Dark Chocolate protein bars, which I have been trying to break for ages. Not only are they expensive and loaded with sugar, but I hate … Continue reading Coconut Granola Bars
Yogurt Veggie Dip
As a kid (and young adult!) I used to look forward to family get-togethers, where there would almost always be a bowl of onion dip made from sour cream and dried soup mix, which I would load onto potato chips. Healthy, right? This is a snack I wouldn't dream of serving now that I focus … Continue reading Yogurt Veggie Dip
