Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Energy Bites

categories: Recipes, Snacks, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole Grains

World, please meet my New Favorite Snack.

I know, I know, I just had a new favorite snack last week. But I have another one today. Can’t I have both? Who only eats one snack a day, anyways?

Not I.

Anyways, while I am well aware that these peanut butter dark chocolate energy bites will not win any beauty contests, I need you to make them A-S-A-P if you’re into delicious, healthy, chocolate-y, peanut butter-y bites of wholesome and naturally-sweetened goodness. Or just chocolate and peanut butter. That’s cool, too.

Brown Sugar Cayenne Bar Nuts

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

It’s been way too long since we did snacks up right and proper.

Which is not cool. Cuz snacks are one of the most important parts of the day! I have never been a three-solid-meals-and-that’s-it kinda girl. I’m more of a breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner-snack kinda girl. So you see why I take my snacks really seriously around here. I’m obsessed with homemade granola bars and hummus (and hummus and more hummus) and pita chips and greek yogurt and granola – I mean, let’s be real, many of my favorite foods are snack-type foods. I just love the variety, the creativity, the snacking possibilities – I can’t help myself!

Mini Strawberry Mascarpone Tarts

categories: Fruit, Pies and Tarts, Recipes

…Because it’s a three-day weekend. Because strawberries are here, and they are glorious. Because it’s the unofficial start of summer, and summer isn’t officially official without some decadent, buttery, fruity dessert.

Also because: do we really need an excuse to eat mini strawberry mascarpone tarts with a buttery graham cracker crust and tons of fresh mint on top?

No, no we do not, my friends.

Salted Bourbon Dulce De Leche No-Churn Ice Cream

categories: Ice Cream & Frozen Treats, Recipes

…Also known as the longest recipe title of all time. Also (and more importantly) known as the coolest ice-cream-without-an-ice-cream-maker trick EVER, and my new favorite thing.

I’ve been dying to try a no-churn ice cream for, I dunno, FOREVER. An ice cream maker is just one of those specialty appliances that doesn’t make the cut in my teeny-tiny kitchen. And I know a lot of you feel the same way. But that doesn’t mean we should be denied the incredibleness that is homemade ice cream in the summertime, right?! This is an issue I feel strongly impassioned about. Homemade ice cream for the people!
