Flaxseed Mozzarella Bites

This is one of those recipes that I'm so glad I came up with, but kinda wish they were harder to make.  You know, so I don't end up eating them every day.  They're just that good.  Read More


Kale Chips

To say I am addicted to these would be a massive understatement.  In fact, my entire household is addicted to these (yes, even the dog) - when they're in season we have them every. single. day.  Kale chips are the perfect salty snack with a major nutritional leg up on a potato chip.  Try them.  Build your own addiction.  You'll thank me.  Read More
