It’s officially spooky times, so I’m putting out a whole week of fun Halloween-centric recipes over on Instagram. If you end up making any, tag them with #FBTGSpookySweets so I can see them/share! I kicked the fun off with Healthier Chocolate Dirt Cupcakes yesterday, which are a lighter take on a childhood classic, complete with […]
While I was one of those really type-A, don’t want to come home in mud type of kids growing up, I loved dirt. Chocolate dirt that is. For those who aren’t familiar with this mealtime delicacy, dirt is a chocolate pudding base, loaded with crushed Oreos and gummy worms, so it resembles creepy crawlers in […]
There’s nothing I love more in the morning than a fully-loaded bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Truly, one of life’s great pleasures. The chew of the bagel, the creaminess of the cream cheese, the salty fish… it’s a perfect combination. However, there are two inherent issues. First, it’s not great for you. Especially […]
Cheesecake is one of the most indulgent desserts there is, and it is oh-so-satisfying.However, it’s anything but good for you. Typical cheesecake is made with loads of sugar to balance the tartness of the cream cheese, plus a buttery crust, sugary fillings, etc. If you’re following WW, a typical slice of cheesecake also clocks a […]
Whether you follow WW or not, nonfat Greek Yogurt is something that should be in your fridge at all times (unless you’re lactose intolerant, in which case feel free to just skip down to the granola part). I use Greek Yogurt in a ton of recipes, from baked goods to savory dips. It also makes […]
Every now and again, there’s an opportunity to make something so delicious, so decadent, that it in itself is worthy of celebration. Also, every now and again, someone goes so far above and beyond that I simply must bake them something totally new, totally custom, and totally delicious. This cake was made for a dear […]
This is another recipe born out of my daily “hmmm, I finished dinner, now want something sweet” moment. That’s right people – I’m a dessert every day kinda gal. Honestly, I’m a dessert after every meal gal but I’m working on it. With that being said, desserts that are healthy and actually taste good are […]
Challah is one of those things that I’ve always loved to eat but never dared to make. Rising time? That intricate braid? No thanks. Then a global pandemic hit. All of the sudden, I was willing to try baking just about anything. So I got to it. I kneaded, I punched the dough, and I […]
It’s officially fall, y’all! And that means I can dive head-first into all of my favorite flavors (as if I’m not eating these year round…ha!). I’m all about the pumpkin spice goodies, the apple everything, the warm autumnal spices that just taste like comfort. One of my favorite fall memories is heading to the local […]
