A Healthier Deviled Egg

I love Deviled Eggs, and I love making them at Easter. Want proof? This is the third Deviled Egg post I’ve published after Easter! I shared my recipe for Smoky Onion Deviled Eggs in 2016, and my Avocado Deviled Eggs in 2019.

This recipe is for a more traditional Deviled Egg, but it’s a healthier version, and they’re very good. My mom is a Deviled Egg connoisseur, and she loved ’em.

I Wouldn’t Say I Cheated On My Most Recent “Chopped” Cooking Challenge… But I Did Stretch the Rules

My office does a fun “Chopped”-inspired cooking challenge, where they provide a list of three secret ingredients, and we use them to make a dish over the weekend. I’ve done it twice before (read the posts here and here)… but this time, I had to stretch the rules a little bit. But I ended up with a delicious late night snack, since that was the category.

Crunchy carrot chips! I’ve been wanting to make these ever since

The Meat and Pasta Meal That Contains No Meat and No Pasta

In my last post, I shared a big exercise win for the week: my first run in six months. This post is about a big food win – a delicious meal with a few interesting (and new-to-me) ingredients.

Looks delicious, right? It’s vegetables, pasta, and ground meat. Except that it’s not pasta or meat, at least not in the traditional sense.

Two Healthy Swaps, One Holiday Party Dish

I went to a holiday party last night, and contributed a dish, since it was a potluck. I’m not going to take credit and say I invented anything, but I did take a recipe that only had four ingredients and swapped two of them for healthier items. That’s 50%, y’all! It all started with a package.

This is the Pineapple Pecan Cheesespread Mix by Country Home Creations, a local dip mix company that’s

I Made An Easy, Healthy Dish That May or May Not Be Shepherd’s Pie. YOU DECIDE!

I modify and mess with recipes all the time, so that I can make them healthier, more appealing to me, and to use ingredients I have on hand. I recently made some Shepherd’s Pie, but I may have strayed too far in my quest to make it guilt-free. I don’t know if I can still call this Shepherd’s Pie or not. What do you think?

One Family Get-Together. Two Salads.

I’m gonna jam two recipes into one blog post, so let’s not waste any time! Background: We recently had a little family get-together, and when I asked what I could contribute, my aunt called me a “veggie guru,” and suggested I bring veggies. Count me in, I love that plan! My sister-in-law Alexis and I made two salads to contribute, and here’s the first one:

Trying New Things Week: Cheetos Everywhere!

I’ve sharing new things all week long, and I’m going to finish up with some silliness. It’s my new favorite app, and it allows you to see the whole world in a new way: where everything is made of Cheetos!

RECIPE! Cauliflower and Buckwheat Salad

Today you’ll read about Cauliflower and Buckwheat Salad. You’re going to love it, because it’s delicious. And healthy. And drool-worthy. See?

But where’s the cauliflower? It’s there… and

Make This at Your Next Brunch: Low-Carb Pancake Roll-Ups

I got a new kitchen tool – a masher – and this is the healthy, delicious recipe where I used it for the very first time!

Low-Carb Pancake Roll-ups are perfect for brunch. They’re great for other meals, too, and particularly versatile, because they’re a finger food, and everyone loves finger food. And what makes them low-carb? I’m glad you asked. 

3WAYS2 Add More Veggies and Beans Into Your Snack Rotation

I’m always on the hunt for new snack ideas. Fresh vegetables are a tried-and-true mainstay in my snack game, but fresh vegetables aren’t always available, and sometimes they don’t travel well.

There are lots of veggie-based snacks at the store, but many fall into a category that’s a pet peeve of mine, where they’re labeled as
