Homemade Energy Bars
These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.

This trendy salad is easy to make at home and can turn a normal meal into something a little bit more gourmet. Even if you’re not a blue cheese fan the combo of apples and/or pears and nuts is refreshing and can be paired with many other cheeses.

The flavors of this salad are inspired by one of my most memorable meals: a roadside picnic in the Spanish countryside consisting of roasted red peppers and Spanish cheese.

This basic balsamic vinaigrette pairs well with many salads and if you’re like me, you’ll pour a little extra on your plate just for dipping your bread.

Bite-sized carrot cake squares covered in white chocolate? Yes, please! Naturally-dyed cream cheese frosting carrots add the finishing touch. Happy Easter!

Maybe it’s the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.

The pastel colors of the naturally-dyed buttercream frosting are perfect for Easter. And my son loved yet another way to decorate Easter eggs.

In this comforting, creamy soup sans cream, warm hints of curry and ginger round out the natural sweetness of the carrots. It is a healthy, satisfying soup any time of year and it’s a festive spring and Easter meal when served with bunny grilled cheese sandwiches or Annie’s All-Natural Bunny Crackers.

I had some leftover cake so I decided to make basketball cake pops for the Men’s NCAA championship game tonight. They are easy to make and would be great for any basketball game, sports party or treats for a basketball team.

Dress up your everyday quesadillas (or sandwiches) by cutting them into Easter egg shapes and letting your kids decorate them. My son has just as much fun decorating healthy food as he does cupcakes and sugar cookies. And it’s just one more way to make healthier fare fun and festive.
