Almond Butter Waffles

January 8, 2014 ·

Almond Butter Waffles are a light, buttery, buttermilk waffle made with almond butter for a delicious and healthy breakfast!

We recently discovered the wonders of almond butter (or rather, got the OK from the doctor to try it). As a mom, I am so happy to cross almonds off the list of potential allergens. As a food blogger, I am so excited – a new ingredient to play with in the kitchen! My list of recipes to make got long, but at the top of the list was Adam’s favorite – either waffles or pancakes. I decided to experiment with my Sunbutter Waffle recipe, which is a solid buttermilk waffle recipe that we enjoy often. However, this time, not only did I swap out the sunbutter for almond butter, but I also decided to use melted I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ® D eliciously Simple ™ spread in place of the oil.

Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

January 6, 2014 ·

Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are filled with corn, black beans, Greek yogurt, tomatoes with chiles and more! Kick off the New Year in a healthy way with these nutritional powerhouses!

After spending most of December in a butter and sugar coma, I always look forward to January. The start of the new year always inspires me to focus back on healthier recipes, including lots of fruits and vegetables. Ever since the summer, I have wanted to make a Corn and Black Bean Salad. What I had in mind was a healthy vegetable-rich salad taking advantage of the bounty of summer garden produce. I never got around to making it, so just slotted it for next summer. Then it occurred to me – why wait until summer when I have the garden essentials I need already in my pantry with Del Monte® vegetables and tomatoes!…

The other day I went to my local Rainbow Foods to pick up some produce. Their cored, fresh pineapple is a favorite, and a welcome addition to our diets as we make an effort to increase our fruit and vegetable intake after the New Year. As I continued shopping the produce section, I noticed little tags that said ‘organic,’ ‘gluten free,’ and ‘vegan.’ I learned this was part of their health key™ system, which is a wellness program designed to simplify your shopping experience and make it easier to select healthier foods….

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta #WeekdaySupper

December 27, 2013 ·

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is a creamy pasta dish made lighter by using Greek yogurt. This is a delicious way to eat your veggies plus it’s quick and easy for a weeknight! {can be gluten free depending on pasta choice}

After making Broccoli Pea Pesto Pasta, I was inspired to create more creamy vegetable-based pasta sauces with Greek yogurt. Since we had some roasted red peppers in the pantry, and the rest of the ingredients on hand, Roasted Red Pepper Pasta was first on the list. The smokey sweetness of the roasted red peppers combined with cheese, garlic and made creamy with Greek yogurt is so tasty. The fact that it takes 15 minutes or less to make is even better!…

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge #SundaySupper

December 22, 2013 ·

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is a wonderful, festive fudge recipe that is super easy to make with no candy thermometer required!

Over the summer I found a fudge recipe that has now been sitting in my ‘to-make’ pile for months. It’s for Pumpkin Pie Fudge, looks fabulous, but requires a candy thermometer. Having to use a candy thermometer was just a little too high maintenance for what I had in mind, so the recipe sits. Then I found a fudge recipe that requires no candy thermometer, and I was intrigued. White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge that is super easy to make? This could be wonderful (and dangerous!)

Mocha Truffle Cookies

December 17, 2013 ·

Mocha Truffle Cookies combine the classic chocolate and coffee pairing into a tasty little cookie. Easy to make, perfect for any occasion!

Whenever I think about my grandma, aside from her baking prowess, two things come to mind. Wherever we went, we were always together, like joined at the hip together. I thought she was always following me, and I overheard her say how she thought it was cute how I always followed her. One thing for certain was how much we both loved coffee! After dinner, she and I would often enjoy a little cup of decaf together. I remember one of the last Christmases with her, we were sitting at the table, holding our dainty cups of coffee. She looked at me and not so subtly whispered ‘you know what we need with coffee? chocolaaaaaaate!’ It makes me smile just to think about it. She was so funny and so right on! The combination of chocolate and coffee is up there with chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and milk (or chocolate and chocolate!) …

Red Wine Chocolate Cake #SundaySupper

December 15, 2013 ·

Red Wine Chocolate Cake is a decadent chocolate bundt cake that is as delicious as it is easy to make. The red wine in the batter gives this cake a sophisticated flair, making it a wonderful finale to your Holiday meal, or any special occasion.

This week Sunday Supper partnered with Gallo Family Vineyards to share Memorable Holiday Meals: Holiday Traditions and Recipes using wine in the recipe. When it comes to memorable Holiday recipes, a cake always stands out as something special. So when we received two bottles of wine from them – Moscato and Cabernet Sauvignon – this Red Wine Chocolate Cake came to mind immediately. Their full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has tastes of rich black fruit and spice, which I thought would complement the chocolate perfectly….
