Start your day the PB&J way! I've been enjoying a bowl of this Peanut Butter & Strawberry Oatmeal for breakfast a few times a week for the last couple of weeks and guys, this might just be my new favorite way to do oats. Seriously. Since spying the first in-season displays (!!) of organic strawberries with in-season prices (!!) at the markets I frequent, I've been dreaming strawberry dreams. Okay, not really. But I have had strawberry recipes on the brain. They're one of my favorite ...
Chicken Veggie Noodle Soup
So, there's an old saying... When it snows in April, make yourself a big old pot of Chicken Veggie Noodle Soup. Or something like that. It did, indeed, snow in my part of the world this past weekend.

I've tried making my own hummus several times and none of the ...
Chocolate Banana Cake
Chocolate Banana Cake is a lightened up chocolate cake made WITHOUT butter or oil. A secret ingredient makes this cake extra chocolate-y. A must try! Chocolate Banana Cake. Oh, man. This is a good one. And with no butter, no oil, and a no refined sugar option, I think we can say safely this cake is good for you, too. Or, ya know, not that bad for you. Whichever! Let me start by saying I don't even like chocolate cake that much. I know - kind of weird, right? Because how could ...
