Guacamole
I don’t know about you all, but I love avocados! One of my favorite snacks or appetizers is guacamole, and it is really easy to make! Many of the pre-made versions you can buy in the store actually do not contain very much avocado, and may contain additives and preservatives that I do NOT want in my food. For this reason I like to make my own guacamole and enjoy the fresh taste and health benefits of real avocados. I know that it is slightly more work, but I am sure once you try it you will not want to go back! I hope you all enjoy this recipe! Ingredients:…

Open a Pomegranate
Since pomegranates are still in season it is a really great time to enjoy them! This time of year most grocery stores carry them and they are easy to find. I suspect that a lot of people don’t know how to open pomegranates and eat them easily, so they either avoid them because they are inconvenient to eat, or pay top dollar for arils (the pomegranate seeds) that are already removed. I don’t know about you guys, but I used to be one of these people!! Then I found a pamphlet at a grocery store that explained how to open a pomegranate. I tried it out myself and now, I…

Healthy Cookie Dough Dip
Okay, I know what your thinking… cookie dough dip? How could this be healthy!?! Well… this cookie dough dip is healthy and it totally doesn’t taste healthy either!

This dip is full of protein, and only uses healthy sweeteners (agave nectar and stevia). I hope you all enjoy this recipe and will give it a try!!! I got my inspiration from a post by Chocolate Covered Katie, and you all should definitely check out…

Vegetarian Eggplant Lasagna
So since Lent is starting today (Ash Wednesday), I thought a meatless dish would be an appropriate topic for my post tonight. I know during lent, I am always looking for new vegetarian/fish dishes to try! This is really a play on lasagna, and I subbed out the noodles with eggplant. It still gives you the feel of a cheesy tomatoey Italian dish, but without the carb overdose! It also can totally stand on its own with a nice salad or cut up veggies and does not need to be served with meat! I hope you all enjoy! Vegetarian Eggplant Lasagna Ingredients: 1 Large Eggplant 4 tsp of olive oil…
