In this savory croissant, the ham and cheese are baked inside the buttery pastry dough to make a warm, panini-style sandwich that is great for a main meal or as the side to a soup or salad.

With all of the cold winter weather we’ve been experiencing I’ve been daydreaming of sunshine and summer. So when Simply Orange Juice contacted me with the offer to send me coupons for a product sampling, it was perfect timing. I had a cold, frothy Orange Julius on my mind.

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.

Tater tots are a U.S. invention, known for their crispy exterior and small, cylindrical shape. They are traditionally deep-fried but I wanted to make a healthier version so I opted to bake them. A cross between french fries and hash browns, they are a perfect way to mix up how you serve your family potatoes.

This gooey cinnamon pull-apart bread is like a whole pan of the insides of cinnamon rolls. It’s yummy, easy and sure to be a favorite of kids and adults alike.

Serve your favorite chili in baked potato “bowls” for a hearty and nutritious meal. The chili helps to disguise the skins of the potatoes which are actually the most nutrient-dense part of the potato.

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.

Pizza pockets are easy to make at home. My family liked the sausage & mushroom-filled pockets and the spinach & three cheese-filled pockets but you could use whatever filling you want.

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.

These gingersnaps are great served alone or with vanilla ice cream. They also make incredible ice cream sandwiches.
