Chocolate Dessert Hummus

March 2, 2020 · by Meg · Leave a Comment

Chocolate Dessert Hummus

I promised more chocolate in the last post I did (and there is still more coming… ). I am a huge fan of hummus. I eat it almost every day, sometimes I make it on my own, sometimes I pick it up at the store (I love cilantro/jalapeno). But going along with the sweet treats I’ve been posting, this is a great afternoon or evening snack with some fruit or graham crackers (I like this recipe). Hummus is easy, you throw everything in a blender or food processor and you’re done! Simple. Just what I like. Especially when you are hustling to get things done in the kitchen. This Chocolate Dessert Hummus is a great combination of bringing lots of fiber, protein and chocolate together. You can add coconut, peanut butter, or more chocolate chips and make your own flavor combos as well. Does it get better than that? I don’t think so….

Butternut Squash Shoestring French Fries

September 24, 2020 · by Meg · 2 Comments

Butternut Squash Shoestring French Fries

It is the season of squash! These are so many uses for this awesome vegetable, but one of my favorites are these shoestring french fries. I make these every year in the Fall… almost never have the chance to take a photo because I want to gobble them all up! These butternut squash french fries are super kid friendly - taste just like french fries but much healthier! And your kids will love them, really! I can’t get enough when I make them. Hope you enjoy them just as much - perfect for snack or as a side dish at dinner! (these are the dipping cups I used, so cute!)
