A chocolate dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, butteriness that is to die for. I actually feel a little naughty, like it is some sort of sneaky deception to put avocado in this silky, satisfying dessert. […]

Snack Time: Avocado Hummus
I love avocados and I love hummus, so when I came across a pin on Pinterest for Avocado Hummus, I was excited! (Food nerd alert: Yes, I get excited about recipes I see online. And the other day, I found myself in the grocery store exclaiming aloud, “Finally! Tomato paste in a tube!” So yeah, […]
Skinny Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup
I think it’s officially soup season. This is quite possibly – no, definitely – my new favorite crock pot soup. I found it on Skinnytaste, and it was so easy and extremely scrumptious. And light! I love Mexican food, so I might be a bit biased, but we shared this with some friends, and they […]

But the more I got into cooking, and the more my palate’s horizons began to expand, the more okay I […]
Grown Up Grilled Cheese
You may have noticed recently I added a “Recipes” tab to the blog. If you haven’t, go ahead, take a look. I’ll wait. Ok, did you see it? Pretty cool, huh? Well, it may not seem that exciting to you, but it’s pretty exciting to me because I figured out how to link the recipes […]
Salsa Stoup with Avocado Smash and Whole Wheat Quesadillas
Is there a 12 step program for soup? Because if there is, I should probably sign up. I’ve made more soup this winter than any other winter I can remember. I even created a soup chock full of vegetables and then got crazy one day and added pesto to it. It. was. delicious. I’ll definitely […]
