If you’re looking to add healthy snacks into your diet, these ten easy snacks help you incorporate more protein to keep you satisfied longer and not over-indulge.

Spicy Garlic Edamame

Spicy Garlic Edamame

Great for a healthy snack or an appetizer, you’ll have a hard time sharing this spicy garlic edamame with anyone else! Plus, it’s so quick and easy to make.  After a recent visit to a local favorite sushi restaurant Wasabi Tao for a friend’s birthday, I’ve been on a mission to recreate a slightly less fire breathing version of

How to Shred Chicken with Your KitchenAid Mixer

Shredding chicken in your KitchenAid mixer is so easy, less messy and a quick time saver… genius really! In my short life of ownership so far of my KitchenAid mixer, I’ve proclaimed my love many times over. At work a few weeks ago, a few of us were discussing our shared love of this amazing

Jump to recipe I had a bit of a panic moment last week when I thought I lost my husband’s grandmother’s pumpkin bar recipe.

Homemade Pretzels (Almost Auntie Anne’s!)

My Sunday baking continues. Major hit this week from a Pinterest find that led me to YammiesNoshery.com and her copycat recipe for Auntie Anne’s  pretzels. It’s a little dangerous to have this recipe to be honest. If you can’t find me, I’ll be in a homemade pretzel induced food coma in the corner from over-indulgence!
