Chocolate Fudge with Avocado

  A chocolate dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, butteriness that is to die for. I actually feel a little naughty, like it is some sort of sneaky deception to put avocado in this silky, satisfying dessert. […]

Snack Time: Avocado Hummus

I love avocados and I love hummus, so when I came across a pin on Pinterest for Avocado Hummus, I was excited! (Food nerd alert: Yes, I get excited about recipes I see online.  And the other day, I found myself in the grocery store exclaiming aloud, “Finally!  Tomato paste in a tube!” So yeah, […]

Skinny Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup

I think it’s officially soup season.  This is quite possibly – no, definitely –  my new favorite crock pot soup.  I found it on Skinnytaste, and it was so easy and extremely scrumptious.  And light!  I love Mexican food, so I might be a bit biased, but we shared this with some friends, and they […]

Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Avocado Salsa

The first time I heard about fish tacos was probably about five years ago, and my immediate thought was “gross!”  Fish and tacos just did not sound like something that should be put together.  Ever.  But the more I got into cooking, and the more my palate’s horizons began to expand, the more okay I […]

Grown Up Grilled Cheese

You may have noticed recently I added a “Recipes” tab to the blog.  If you haven’t, go ahead, take a look.  I’ll wait.  Ok, did you see it?  Pretty cool, huh?  Well, it may not seem that exciting to you, but it’s pretty exciting to me because I figured out how to link the recipes […]

Salsa Stoup with Avocado Smash and Whole Wheat Quesadillas

Is there a 12 step program for soup?  Because if there is, I should probably sign up.  I’ve made more soup this winter than any other winter I can remember.  I even created a soup chock full of vegetables and then got crazy one day and added pesto to it.  It. was. delicious.  I’ll definitely […]
