Vanilla Honey Almond Butter

Vanilla Honey Almond Butter. Make it. Make it, now. I’ve been on somewhat of an almond kick for the past week or so… Just like, almonds in general.

Skinny Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Skinny Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I absolutely salivate over spinach and artichoke dip whenever I go out to a restaurant and see it on the menu.

Mint and Watermelon Salsa

Mint and Watermelon Salsa.  Even though we’re only a couple of days into the week so far, I feel like it’s been one giant blur. A blur of thunderstorms, laundry, recipe photos that mysteriously went missing, dog-sitting, a ridiculous amount of sweat at the gym, vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning, writing… Yikes. This week I decided to […]

Chocolate Chipotle Salmon Rub

Well, lookie here! Just when I thought that salmon could not be any more magnificent, I went and rubbed it in chocolate. Mmmm… Chocolate salmon. This probably sounds a little bit strange (OK, maybe a lot strange), but I’ve been fantasizing about putting chocolate on my salmon for a really long time. There’s this warm […]
