Cooking and Cocktails. My sanity.
The flavors of jalapeño poppers in a super fun, light, turkey burger! After reposting my Turkey and Black Bean Burgers, I had a burst of inspiration on Memorial Day. It’s been a while since I experiment with a new Turkey Burger idea and I forgot how much fun it is. Ground turkey is such an…
I originally posted these Turkey and Black Bean Burgers August 2011, and totally forgot about them until someone requested the recipe. Boy, I’m glad they did now that it’s grilling season! I feel as if I have about three blog posts swimming in my head with new food (and cocktail) ideas, but I’m still having…
These Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies are the result of weeks of testing during the quarantine. I was not testing the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie recipe ever, but my family’s favorite one. Over the past three weeks, I have tried to blog so many times but been unable to muster the energy. I don’t know…
Blue Agave Sour is a fun cocktail using tequila, lime, blue curacao, and a fabulous roasted pineapple simple syrup that you can make in a sinch! I’ve been sharing way more cocktail ideas on my IG feed than I anticipated. I promise, I don’t need meetings…. yet! I’m just having too much fun. I never…
Get your cheesecake “fix” for 100 calories with these individual Cheesecake Muffins! Guys… Guys… GUYS! This recipe for Cheesecake Muffins is a keeper. It’s easy. It’s tasty. It’s fun. It’s light. And it’s pre-portioned into a single-servings — an odd positive for most people but I find it super helpful. Oh! and Everyone who’s tried…
So some of you may consider this off-brand for GreenLiteBites, but I think part of my lack of blogging motivation stems from the fact I am so different than when I started (way) back in 2004. For starters, I’m a lot older. When I began blogging publically, I was 29. TWENTY-NINE! How is it possible…
I originally posted Chocolate-Coconut Energy Balls in 2014. I’m reposting now as I search my archives for some of my fun, forgotten recipes. I’ve never quite been able to master my own granola bar recipe but put a few forgiving ingredients in a bowl and mash together into balls and voila! A homemade, portable snack…
How’s everyone holding up? Has cabin fever set it yet? I’m embarking on my third week of being home during this pandemic. The kids seem to be handling it better than I am, but all is well. I can’t complain. I’ve been cooking up a storm, and the more I cook, the more I hate…
I’m hosting a virtual dinner party this Sunday to help fight off the quarantine blues. The menu includes a cocktail, appetizer, main course, and dessert. Join us and host your own date-night-in! Hey guys! So I haven’t been posting as much as I wanted during this quarantine. I’ve been spending most of my time getting…
