Especially when cut into hearts, these chocolate coconut almond date energy bars make a nice little gift for your Valentine. And because I feel like we have been living in a sweets-saturated world since Halloween they are a welcome healthy Valentine’s Day treat.
My color choice for this naturally-dyed layer cake obviously reveals who I’ll be rooting for but I’ll give you Broncos fans a little hint: you can have your {blue and orange} cake and eat it, too, if you simply use carrot juice instead of spinach juice.
When I saw this “owl egg shaper” on Pinterest I couldn’t resist making a version of my own. My oldest son got a hoot out of his breakfast and I loved playing with food to create an easy, edible art snack that doesn’t involve sugary sweets.
Add pumpkin and spices for a twist on your basic dinner roll.
Make pumpkin cinnamon rolls in miniature form by rolling the dough into a narrower rectangle and baking them in mini muffin tins, perfect for kid portions and parties.
This one-ingredient eggnog ice cream is much quicker and healthier than a custard-based eggnog ice cream. In under 30 minutes (or the time it takes to churn the ice cream), you can have a creamy, not-too-sweet frozen treat made with low-fat eggnog.
These sparkling sugared cranberries are simple to make and can be used in so many ways: as a garnish for desserts and beverages, as gifts, and as sweet snacks, to name a few. A couple of them dropped in each champagne glass made our Christmas cranberry mimosas beautiful and festive.
From my family to yours, wishing you health, happiness and many delicious moments in 2014. Happy New Year!!
As a kid it always seemed a bit crazy yet exciting and invigorating to get up so early on December 13, one of the shortest, darkest days of the year, just for breakfast. In fact, it always seemed dreamy and surreal. As a child my family celebrated Santa Lucia with some good family friends every year.
Though it wouldn’t be classified as a “snow” day in most places, my boys were excited nonetheless to see the first flakes of the season quietly dust their backyard the other day. The exciting occasion, ushering in a magical season, called for a special winter breakfast.
