I’ve mentioned time and time again here on RDelicious Kitchen about my love for chocolate. Hi my name is Julie, and I’m a chocoholic. I was overly excited for this months Recipe ReDux theme.

Favorite Chocolate Matches – Does your chocolate need a friend? This month’s posting will be after Valentine’s Day, so you may have a bit of extra chocolate around. What’s your favorite chocolate match? Be it traditional peanut butter or something more exotic like cayenne + chocolate. Show us your favorite healthy chocolate combo recipe.

You can’t go wrong with pairing chocolate with peanut butter. You can find me in the kitchen at night with a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips on top. (Robin & Kylie do the same! Great minds think alike 🙂 )

Each month for for the recipe redux challenge, I make a list of recipe ideas and narrow it down, closer and closer to the due date. Yesterday, I was still figuring out what I was going to make. [#procrastination at it’s finest] I wanted to try and think outside the box, but it always came back to my favorite: chocolate + peanut butter.

I actually made a rendition of this recipe with just chocolate for a valentine’s day event at work, so I know it’s a crowd pleaser. The one thing that shocked people the most is one of the ingredients .. TOFU! It mades the mousse light and airy, plus packs in protein for a dessert recipe!

Not have enough time to make a wholesome breakfast every morning? Enjoy this overnight oats recipe that you can make the night before to help power you through your busy morning. 

The Best Overnight Oats: simple & healthy breakfast
Oatmeal is one of those “stick-to-your-guns” kind of breakfast that I know will fuel me through the morning. Problem is, I don’t always have the time in the morning. I will savor that extra 10 minutes of sleep knowing I have breakfast ready to go waiting for me. I’ll even sacrifice doing my hair in the morning for extra sleep. Top buns for the win.

Half the time I am so rushed in the morning, I drink my coffee on the way to work and then eat my breakfast as I am returning emails and getting organized for my day.
The Best Overnight Oats: simple and healthy breakfastSkip those instant oatmeal packets. They are typically loaded with added sugar and even salt! This recipe is packed with ingredients you can feel good about. Filled with fiber & protein, it will keep you full all morning. Overnight, the oats absorb all the liquid and it becomes a thick cake batter consistency.
The Best Overnight Oats: simple and healthy breakfastYou could always heat the oats up, but I enjoy them cold. Of course this recipe can be easily adapted with your favorite fix-ins. I always like adding a little extra fruit on top. And if I am feeling a little indulgent, I’ll stir in a little unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter flavor!

Skip the food coloring and dyes. These mini muffins are naturally pinkish/red with the help of sneaking beets into this muffin recipe. 

In the beginning of the week I promised you I had a recipe to share using beets. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, these mini muffins are perfect to make for your Valentine for breakfast.
Why is it that mini muffins just look so much cuter than regular muffins?

Many of the clients I work with don’t think muffins fit as part of a healthy breakfast. I 100% agree if it’s a giant bakery muffin filled with saturated fat, sugar, and refined flours.
These are perfectly portioned mini muffins with wholesome ingredients you can feel good about eating in the morning.
Whole grains (whole wheat flour & oat flour) .. check!
Vegetables (beets) .. check!
Healthy baking substitutions for fats with Greek yogurt .. check!

Family and friends will love this cheesy version of classic deviled eggs.  

Cheesy Deviled Eggs with a Cheese Crisp
Growing up, I really never liked deviled eggs. I think because the traditional way is heavy with mayonnaise and I just absolutely do not like mayo.  It is just one of those foods that gives me the heebie jeebies. I don’t mind that I dislike mayo, because as a dietitian, I always encourage others to cut back on condiments like mayo and to use other substitutes like yogurt instead.
Don’t even get me started about cilantro. I think it tastes like soap. We can talk about that another day. Let’s get back to these deviled eggs. I wanted to make them cheesy, but also pop with flavor. That’s why I chose the horseradish variety for this recipe. Of course, you can always substitute with any kind of cheddar you would like. #cheddaisbetta

Revamp pizza night into flatbread night, with this Cheddar, Apple, & Arugula Flatbread. 

What makes this flatbread really stand out? Let’s just look at these toppings.
Cheddar, Apple, & Arugula Flatbread

Toppings:
Cabot White Oak Cheddar // Granny Smith Apple // Walnuts // Arugula // Red Onion

Cheddar, Apple, & Arugula Flatbread
I must say, I love all the Legacy Cabot flavors, but since the beginning White Oak Cheddar has been my favorite. It has an oaky and buttery silky flavor to it that pairs well with the rest of the flatbread toppings.

My panel of taste testers approved! This Cheddar, Apple, & Arugula Flatbread is a winner! #cabotcheese #ad

Cheddar, Apple, & Arugula Flatbread
Lucky for me, I have a panel of professional taste testers for all of my recipes. My boyfriend, Adrain, REALLY liked this recipe. And when I say he REALLY liked it, means that a full flatbread was gone in one sitting. My friend Steph has become quite the Cabot cheese enthusiast, like myself. When I sent her a picture of the recipe, this happened …

I’ve been a little obsessed with kefir lately. When I saw they had an eggnog flavor, I jumped right on it. I’ve been enjoying kefir as is, but this time wanted to try it in a recipe.

Kefir naturally has a tangy flavor, so when incorporating it in a smoothie, a banana was the perfect way to sweetened it up.

It’s pumpkin everything this time of year. When I saw Wild Friends create a new seasonal pumpkin spice peanut butter, I was so excited! I am a big fan of wild friends nut butters.

I’m not going to lie, I’ve been eating it straight from the jar with a spoon. I made energy bites with wild friends vanilla espresso flavor, so I created another energy bite recipe using this new nut butter!
