French Bread Rolls
There's nothing better than homemade bread. I made a new soup recipe and of course we needed to have fresh baked bread with it. I'm working on portion sizes and knew if I made a loaf of bread, I would eat way more than I should. This recipe for rolls was easy and they were… Continue reading French Bread Rolls

Pineapple Quick Bread
We didn't plan a vacation this year, so I've decided I need to make something that reminds me of the tropics.

We've been spending a lot of time in our pool… Continue reading Pineapple Quick Bread
Cherry Berry Smoothie Bowl

My bowl… Continue reading Cherry Berry Smoothie Bowl

Caramelized Onion Dip
I'm always looking for a new recipe to bring to parties and events; this may be my new favorite recipe! Caramelizing the onions brings onion dip to a completely different level! There is much more of a richness of onion flavor. I definitely recommend making it a day before you plan to serve it. This give… Continue reading Caramelized Onion Dip
