Banana Oatmeal Breakfast bars

These breakfast bars are gluten free, filling and healthy! I usually have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning with some sliced banana. For some reason not having oatmeal doesn’t keep me as full through the day. So I wanted to make a “mobile” version for those days when I’m on the go and can’t …

Bacon Wrapped Carrots

Carrots are not an exciting vegetable. There I said it. Its not that people dislike carrots, its just that no one looks forward to cooked carrots.

Chocolate, peanut butter, these are my dessert kryptonite! As a kid I always loved ‘buckeyes’ the sweet peanut butter balls covered in chocolate.  I could easily eat five or six, no questions asked. Now, as an adult, I could definitely do the same, but I know it’s not the healthiest option. In a quest to …

Peppermint Patties

The Christmas season brings with it a series of quintessential flavors, one of the primary ones being peppermint.  Candy canes, peppermint mochas and one of my personal favorites, peppermint patties. The flavor epitomizes the season – fresh and crisp like the air yet somehow comforting and calming like a warm toasty fire.  I’d always loved …

Kielbasa Bites

Did you know when you eat pineapple, pineapple eats you back? That’s right, Pineapples are flesh eating monsters. Frankly I’m surprised that there aren’t more horror movies about rouge pineapples. Okay, that might be a little dramatic. But have you ever eaten a pineapple and wondered why your tongue felt funny? It’s not that you …
