Hello there!

What have you been up to during these chilly winter months? I have been getting my new house up to par and, of course, trying new things in the kitchen.

I’m really into mixing different flavors, especially when it comes to treats. Today, I’m sharing this new recipe for Creamy Raspberry Mocha Parfait.

It’s light, fluffy, flavorful and combines a few of my favorite things: coffee, whipped topping and raspberries!

These Zucchini Boats are delicious! I have made a variety of different types of boats, but these have to be my FAVE. I mean, look at these little tiny pepperonis and perfectly melted CHEESE. Not to mention, these little boats mimic pizza with better ingredients and are SO easy to throw together.

Calling all cream cheese lovers! If you are anything like me, you’re always on the hunt for new recipes to bring to holiday gatherings. I don’t want anything that will take forever to make or prep, and that’s why I fell in love with these Savory Cheese Balls. Most of the ingredients were in my pantry but with a quick and low-cost trip to the grocery store, you’ll have an amazing appetizer everyone will be sure to devour.

Before we get into the holiday season, it’s time to remember that not every meal can consist of cookies, pies and candy. If you’re like me, you need a substantial yet tasty meal to get yourself through the shopping, gift wrapping, and all those fun little to-dos that pop up during the season.

My Blueberry Pecan Baked Oatmeal hits the mark: It’s a hearty breakfast with the fiber you need to get your holiday spirit flowing through New Year’s. I love it just because it’s simple, satisfying, nutritious and a budget-friendly breakfast that yields leftovers. Plus it contains seven pretty-good-for-you ingredients! Meanwhile, the pecan topping is sweet, nutty, and rich without a ton of sugar.
