Homemade Roasted Red Pepper Cauliflower Hummus
I love hummus! I eat it on veggies, on wraps, on hot dogs (way better than ketchup) and on a well-rounded spoon. I decided I wanted to make my own, but I also wanted to up my veggie consumption. So I decided to replace the beans with roasted cauliflower. My life will never be the same. It’s DELICIOUS!
Read More5 Ingredient Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding
Last week I wanted sweet, comfort food. I whipped up this healthy, 5 ingredient, chocolate peanut-butter pudding in about 10 minutes. It’s so thick and creamy it could even double as frosting!
Read More10 Minute Christmas Present – Homemade Coasters
Last year for Christmas we gave our family things they’d need for a family night. This included a game, a movie, popcorn, hot chocolate and these adorable coasters (for the hot chocolate, of course). I’m not the kind of person that can find an adorable craft on Pinterest and make it come to life, so the fact that these came together so quickly for me shows just how easy they are.

It’s spring and I live in the Rockies. That means one day it will be 70 degrees and the next day, 30. And when it’s cold, I want soup. And this soup totally delivers on flavor. It has two, yes TWO different sausages. This is an important component in our house as my 5-year-old daughter’s…
Read MoreThrift Store Candle Stand Makeover
A few weeks ago I was in a home decorating store. I saw some beautiful, brightly colored candle pillar stands and wanted them for my fireplace. I had visions of myself sitting on my couch in front of my fireplace, looking like the cover of a magazine with my beautiful candles. Then I looked at the…
Read MorePerfect Mashed Sweet Potatoes
When I was a little girl, my mom tried to give me a sweet potato for dinner. After tears, screaming and a fair amount of pouting, it was accepted in our house that I did not like sweet potatoes. I lived for years thinking this to be true until one day I decided to be…
Read MoreNo Sugar Hot Apple Cider
Apple cider is fabulous for many reasons. I love to use it in bbq recipes, it makes the house smell great while it’s cooking and it’s so fun to drink on a cold day. Sadly, most apple ciders, homemade or bottled are packed with sugar. This is one of my pet peeves [Warning: Rant ahead].…
