No Bake Birthday Cake Truffles

I made these Saturday night, and by the time I left work on Monday, they were mostly gone. Keeping in mind that this batch made 34 truffles, and my department is only 4 people, that can only mean that word spread quickly around the building and goodness gracious do people love their birthday cake! Needless to say, by the end of the day I was one popular lady at work ;)

Homemade Greek Pita Bread

Doesn't that look delicious? I assure you it was every bit as chewy and tasty as this picture makes it look. I didn't have it in a very traditional way, but if ever I had a sudden hankering for pita, this is the recipe I'm going to from now on! It's so quick and easy, it tastes like you spent hours over it!

Eggplant Parmesan

I'm finding more and more that my meatless options turn out to be my best meals. They're easier to make, take less time, and they're much easier on my wallet! Eggplant parmesan is one of my favorite meals because after a long day of work I don't have to worry about defrosting any meat, there's no worrying about shoving any extra veggies into dinner, and it's on the table in under an hour. What's not to love? :)

Double Chocolate Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookies

Are you ready for the most amazing end to your week? Today I'm going to share the most amazing cookie recipe I think I've ever made! It may be super time consuming and definitely an arm workout, but in the end they're so worth it! The chocolate cookie base makes this dense and fudgy, the added brownie chunks and melted chocolate chips make these absolutely to die for! I made mine small because honestly if I had made them any bigger, I wouldn't be able to eat a whole one; they're are incredibly rich!

Spaghetti with Clam Sauce For One (Family Size Recipe Included)

Hi all, Happy Thursday! It's warming up around here, and I for one am loving it. Warmer weather for me means bright colors in nature and food, outdoor dinners, and it means I ditch my jeans for a dress. We're not totally there yet, but spring and summer mean refreshing flavors in food, and I've got the perfect in between dish for this time of year. The zesty lime and bright tomatoes make this a great welcoming spring dish, while the thick sauce and clams bring the flavors of winter together in one awesome bowl!

Easy Chocolate Brownies

This week I'm sharing with you a recipe that I'd like you to put in your back pocket for a recipe I'll be sharing with you sometime later this month. Sometimes the urge just hits you for a thick, chocolatey, fudgey, gooey brownie. And let me tell you, it hit me hard a few days ago! Brownies are not something S and I usually keep in the house; we try to eat healthy and honestly if I make a pan of brownies Monday, between the two of us, the pan will be demolished by Wednesday morning. Especially with how easy this recipe is, it's a real challenge to not whip up a batch every time a little craving hits! It's not something I'm proud of, but if you leave me around chocolate for too long, you better not have had any sentimental attachment to it! So this week I'm squashing a craving and sending the rest out into the world to co-workers and friends in the hopes that they'll gain the pounds meant for me ;)

Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta

Happy Friday folks! It's the middle of my work week and as everyone around me knows, I'm dead tired and want a meal with little to no clean up, that's healthy and nutritious so S and I don't fall off our healthy wagon. Now, pasta is a super easy and relatively healthy option for nights like these, but honestly there's only so many times I can have spaghetti and sauce with garlic bread for dinner. We need something more packed with flavor and more bursting with color (even if it's just a different color than red). Sometimes the easiest solutions are the most fun! Being that I have little to no imagination when it comes to thinking of dinners on the fly, I took to the cabinets and freezer trying to find something to add to our boring pasta routine. What came out of the kitchen took 20 minutes, was super filling, packed with flavors, and pretty darn healthy!

Dinner for two!
