This month, my Foodie Penpal was Esther! She was lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe’s and have the same deep-rooted love for the store that I have. So, of course she would head straight there after our conversations about food. I love everything she found for me! Thank you so much Esther!! LaraBar: Cashew Cookie – This bar reminded me that I hadn’t made homemade LaraBars in awhile! Time to … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Pot de Crème (Eggless)
I was recently reading an article about healthy pies...they didn't look that healthy to me. And the slices were petty high in calories. I think they just added berries to the top of conventional pies and called them healthy.One of the recipes was for a peanut butter pie, though, and that looked pretty darn good to me. To solve the calorie problem, I basically transformed the recipe entirely. With … [Read more...]
Maple-Sweetened Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I always hated raisins. I was that kid that always picked them out of the Christmas-morning cinnamon rolls (which developed over the years into a separate raisin-free batch made just for me). My oatmeal raisin cookies had to be made with chocolate chips instead. I would dump out the entire bag of trail mix, sort out all the raisins, and then put everything back in the bag (raisins left on the … [Read more...]

White Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
Honestly, these cookies started as just my want to eat white chocolate cherry cookie dough. I'll confess that. But, after I started mixing the dough, and I realized that I only had enough dried cherries for this one batch, I thought again, added the egg whites, and just made cookies. Necessity of finished cookies prevailed. These oatmeal cookies are fluffy and rich, packed with creamy, sweet white … [Read more...]
Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread
Ready to start the week on a rich, chocolatey, healthy foot? I am!When this recipe dawned on me, I bolted into the kitchen and started mixing frantically. I love the combination of rich chocolate and sweet cherries, and the last of the cherries in the fridge were beckoning me (the over-ripe bananas had already been nagging me for days).When I pulled the Chocolate Cherry Banana Bread out of the … [Read more...]
Fresh Cherry Sauce
I was struck by a frantic need to buy a ton of cherries when they were on a “one day sale” at Whole Foods recently. But, because cherries don’t last long, I knew I wanted to preserve their flavor for treats to come. Instead of pitting and freezing them, however, a cherry sauce came to mind!This sauce reminds me of a sauce that was in a Greek sundae that was ordered as part of the dessert spread … [Read more...]
Pretzel S’Mores
I think that nothing screams summer more than s'mores. Sometimes I love to switch it up and add a smear of peanut butter or a few slices of banana, but today's treat takes my salty-sweet obsession to a new level. These little bites of delight are easy to put together for a party or just for you, and because you can make just as many as you want and need, the portions are always in your control. … [Read more...]
The Skinny on OurSkinny
OurSkinny is a diet that you may or may not have heard of. Recently the company sent me samples of their products along with the diet instructions that they share with all of their participants. This is a diet that may remind you of the conventional Slim Fast program because it consists of shakes and bars, but it is targeted at people who need a regimented plan to transform their eating habits. … [Read more...]
