Have you ever thought of roasting dates (and I’m not talking about wrapped in bacon)???? The longer you roast them, the crunchier they get and it’s almost like eating chips but wayyyy healthier. I threw some pitted dates into the oven while I was cooking up some kosher bacon and I didn’t want to stop […]
Guiltless Pecan Pie
I love a flakey crust as much as the next gal but that crust doesn’t always love me back.

So much fluffier than store-bought marshmallows with the flavors of fall. The great thing about this recipe is that you can add whatever spices and flavors you want or […]

I mean, how can I even chose between 1 massive meal of turkey, duck, cranberry sauce, stuffing, […]
