I made green eggs and ham again to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday which is tomorrow {March 2}. This time I used spinach juice instead of green food coloring to make the green eggs. The natural dye of the spinach turned the eggs a beautiful green and you won’t even taste the spinach.

Happy Valentine’s Day! For a quick, fiber-filled Valentine’s Day breakfast I made bran muffin hearts with my Mini Heart Baking Pan. If you don’t have heart pans you can bake part of the muffin batter in a 9×13 pan and cut out hearts with a cookie cutter.

Homemade applesauce is easy to make and so much better than the stuff you buy at the store. Plus, when you make it yourself you can control how much sugar is added.

Use up leftover candy corn from Halloween by making these rice krispie treats in fun, autumn shapes. The trick to extra gooey treats is using a couple spoonfuls of marshmallow creme.

It has been salmon season in the Pacific Northwest. With my husband’s last catch we smoked some of the salmon fillets in a wood chip smoker. Serve the smoked salmon with crackers and cheese for a healthy snack and an easy ‘gourmet’ hors d’oeuvre.

These kale wraps are one of the most interesting (and good!) things I’ve had and they are definitely a conversation piece for a party. As you eat the kale wrap, you get a burst of each of the flavors: ginger, lime, toasted coconut, peanuts, red onion and tamarind sauce. I didn’t even notice that I was eating kale.

This simple hors d’oeuvre is a crowd-pleaser and very easy to make. With the health benefits of grapes and walnuts, it was a perfect addition to my Tapas For a Cure menu.

Now that I’m hooked on banana “ice cream” (an easy, creamy frozen dessert simply made of bananas) I decided to try adding chocolate, which is never a bad decision, in my opinion.

Could it be that bananas are the only ingredient in this frozen treat and yet it has the creamy texture of traditional ice cream? Unbelievably, yes! It is so easy to make (you don’t even need an ice cream maker). And I love the fact that when my son now screams for ice cream, I can give him this — an elegant form of frozen bananas.
