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!

I came up with this recipe when I just staring in my fridge looking for a snack to eat. I always make a batch of hard boiled eggs for the week, to add in salads, have as a snack, or in the morning for breakfast.

That day I was staring in the fridge, I didn’t want just a plain hard boiled egg, so I got a little creative. I just added one ingredient, and then it became the easiest hard boiled egg recipe.

Whenever a recipe that is labeled “healthy” many assume that it won’t taste good. At work when I sample out a new recipe or a new product I always get different reactions when I label things “healthy”. Try this new “healthy (insert recipe name)” – some run over and are intrigue and some scrunch up their noses and walk away.
Let me tell you about this “healthy” recipe I made today. The ingredients and nutrition facts of this recipe scream healthy, but the flavors and richness scream dessert! If you LOVE pumpkin pie, you’re going to LOVE this recipe.
Yesterday, on instagram I posted the picture below asking “Can you guess what I’m making?”
IMG_3919A few guessed pumpkin chia pudding. Meme actually made a really funny comment that her head was racing with pumpkin thoughts. I’m turning that into a hashtag #pumpkinthoughts
Pumpkin pie chia pudding was actually my original idea but I changed it to Pumpkin Pie Chia Mousse because the cottage cheese whipped in with the rest of the ingredients created a smooth fluffy texture just like regular mousse.
IMG_3923 2
You can enjoy this as a breakfast, snack, or dessert! I sprinkled a little cinnamon granola and a few cranberries on top.

What do you do when you have an over abundance of zucchini and don’t know what to do with it all? … Make muffins!! Double chocolate zucchini muffins that is.
double chocolate zucchini muffins 3
Two of my biggest nutrition tips for making healthy choices regarding muffins:

1. Make them yourself from scratch

2. Keep the size in check

double chocolate zucchini muffins 2
1. When you make your own muffins, you know exactly what is going in your recipe. Don’t like how much sugar the recipe calls for, simply trim the amount or use healthier swaps like pure maple syrup.
2. I always opt for the traditional size muffin tin when I am baking. Even though I am always trying to make my baked good recipes a little lighter, they aren’t a substitute for a whole meal.
For example, many grab breakfast on the go going to work in the morning. Maybe they pick up a coffee and a reduced fat blueberry muffin. One may think deciding on the reduced fat is a healthier choice, but let’s see how that measures out. Below is an example of a reduced fat blueberry muffin from a popular chain restaurant:

Just by looking at the nutrition facts, it looks like a cupcake in disguise. 410 calories!? 40 grams of sugar !? 26% of the daily value of sodium!? 10 grams of total fat!?

Scroll down a little and look at the ingredients from the muffins I made. Now scroll back up and look at the ingredients in that muffin? Have you even heard of half of those ingredients before? I’m thinking my muffins win!

Real food. Real ingredients. (while sneaking in some vegetables!)
Pair one of these muffins with a glass of milk and a piece of fruit for a balance way to start your day! (instead of a giant sugar bomb!)

Looking for a healthy snack to power you through the afternoon? You’ve come to the right place. These full of flavor homemade PB & J Bites are similar to the store bought Larabars. Careful, they are addicting ;)

When I was younger a peanut butter & jelly sandwich was frequently found in my lunch box for school. Now, I am a working gal in my 20’s and I still pack a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch sometimes. I must say though, I am much more selective of the type of bread, peanut butter, and jelly I use.

I determined a theory in college if snacks were good on-the-go kind of snacks. It was called the “backpack test”. If my snack managed to be still okay by the afternoon getting jostled around my backpack all morning and getting smushed between books then it passed. I’ve made these plenty of times in college because these PB&J Bites passed the “backpack test” with flying colors. Now it’s not so much the “backpack test” but more of a “giant professional bag turned into everyday bag turned into everything I ever need” kind of bag! haha 🙂

Feta & Mint Watermelon Salad

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my privacy policy.

I know there are many variations of this recipe. I like to keep it really simple – let the minimal ingredients develop powerful flavors that marinate together. The ingredients of this recipe contribute 3 out of the 5 taste sensations.

 So what are the 5 tastes you experience everyday when eating?

There are five known tastes that are detected by taste buds: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Although these tastes are detected by all taste buds, some regions of the tongue have a slightly higher sensitivity to some tastes than others.

  1. The sweet taste is created by carbohydrates such as sucrose and fructose, as well as artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharine.
  2. The salty taste is generally created by salts containing sodium ions, such as sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Salts containing potassium, lithium, and other alkali metal ions also produce a mildly salty flavor.
  3. Acidic compounds, such as citric acid and vinegar, produce sour flavors.
  4. Bitter flavors are produced by a variety of organic compounds and are generally considered an undesirable or unpalatable flavor. Many toxic chemicals produced by poisonous plants have a bitter taste, thus leading to the negative reaction to bitter foods.
  5. Umami, or savoriness, is the most recently discovered taste, found in foods that have a “meaty” taste due to the presence of the chemical glutamate. Meat, cheese, mushrooms, and the chemical monosodium glutamate (MSG) all contain glutamate.
