There’s something so satisfying about making healthy(ish) versions of your favorite treats. To me, it’s like killing two birds with one stone: Your sweet tooth and body are satisfied. And while I’ll be the first to admit that these desserts usually don’t taste like their “normal” counterparts, they’re still delicious and easy to make. Count me in! …
Summer makes me want to eat all the fruits. And while I can’t say no to a classic smoothie or fruit salad, making these fruit spring rolls for eHow might very well be the highlight of my month. After all, I’m all about recipes that take traditional foods for an unconventional spin. Take spring rolls, for example. …
As the temperatures rise and the days last longer, I can’t help but dream about tasty frozen desserts. There’s ice cream, frozen yogurt, smoothies… and everything in between. And while I will never turn down a trip to the local creamery, nothing beats a healthy “nice cream” made with wholesome, simple ingredients. (Banana ice cream, …
Oh, pizza. There’s something so nostalgic and delicious about it. Plus, as a born and bred New Yorker, you can be sure that I’m quite the critique when it comes to this tasty classic. (The same goes for burritos after I lived in San Francisco for a short while, but that’s another story)… And while pizza …
There are some foods that simply don’t get enough homemade love. In other words, it often seems more normal (and traditional) to eat and enjoy said foods outside of the home. Let’s take soft pretzels, for example. With companies like Auntie Anne’s at basically every mall and the popularity of food trucks and festivals, buying fresh, …
Ah, tofu. Where would non-meat eaters be without this protein-packed food? It’s the poster child of versatility, especially when you consider that it’s available in a variety of thicknesses. Silken tofu makes for an awesome sauce, but when it comes to the extra firm kind, you can be sure that I’m making baked breaded nuggets. …
Regardless of how you feel about Valentine’s Day, you can’t deny the fun treats that come along with it. Personally, I am more of a Galentine’s Day kind of lady. There’s something really refreshing about defying the typical Valentine’s Day expectations, because if I’m being honest, the sparkly diamond necklaces and oversized teddy bears just …
As someone who loves to prove that healthy food doesn’t have to be boring (or expensive), I’m all about making nutritious treats. Let’s just say my sweet tooth is definitely alive and well. Thankfully, it only acts up every now and then, but when it does, the craving is real. But that’s where healthy desserts …
Some people take brunch seriously. Like, real seriously. And I don’t blame them, because there are few things better than breakfast foods. Not only is it the most important meal of the day (it reduces afternoon hunger and is associated with lower blood glucose and cholesterol… all that good ol’ nutritiony stuff) but it’s just so satisfying after …
So, I think it’s safe to say that the macrame trend has officially become a classic craft… yet again. It honestly does not show any sign of disappearing, and I am all for it. Personally, I adore mini macrame projects, like this DIY macrame pendant I made for eHow. It’s great when you get that itch …
Another plant project? You bet. This is only the beginning, friends. If you head on over to Darice Crafts, you’ll find a planter tutorial by yours truly. This cement planter with braided suede combines some of my favorite textures. It’s an awesome way to upgrade the average cement planter, especially if you’re going for a rustic …
