Crock-Pot Moroccan Chicken Stew
This recipe is one that my husband and I have recently started making. It is super easy as you can just throw all of the ingredients into the crock pot and then just leave it all day. The smell is amazing with all of the spices in this stew and fills the house. The chicken thighs are moist and delicious and make a wonderful stew. They basically are falling apart by the time is stew is finished. I love the addition of dates as they add just the right amount of sweetness. The cilantro and toasted pine nuts take it over the top. I hope you all will give this…

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Today I am going to share a very easy recipe for banana chocolate chip muffins. This is based off of the recipe that my mom uses to make banana chocolate chip bread, but with a few modifications of my own, and also as muffins instead of bread. It is delicious as a breakfast, served with eggs, or as a sweet snack, or dessert! I am not a big fan of bananas when they are overly ripe, and this recipe is a great way to use those up. I hope that you all will enjoy the recipe!

Healthy Fudgsicles
The other night my husband and I were eating some oat milk fudge bars from Trader Joes. They were delicious, but I thought to myself, I can make these myself, healthier and cheaper.

I brought back raw cacao from our trip to Costa Rica from Two Little Monkeys Farm, which made them extra special! These healthy fudgsicles are also the easiest to make! I hope you will enjoy the recipe on a hot…

Basil Jelly
Something that I greatly enjoy is gardening. I only have a small townhome, so all of my plants must be potted, but I am currently growing basil, and I have a wonderful crop this year. My mom suggested that I make basil jelly, and shared her recipe with me. It came out delicious and I wanted to share it with you all today. This jelly is very unique and gives a wonderful flavor to toast in the morning, or in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It also works very nicely on a charcuterie board. Have you ever wanted to make homemade jams or jellies, and thought “that is…

Strawberry Breakfast Muffins
Hi Everyone! It is strawberry season here in Florida, so strawberries are in abundance! I decided to make these strawberry breakfast muffins to take to work and they were a huge hit! People were coming to my office asking for more all day even after they were gone. I adapted this recipe from a blueberry muffin recipe that I like to use and I actually think that the strawberries tasted even better! These muffins are super easy to make, and are just barely sweetened, so they are not unhealthy either. I think they would be delicious served up with a scrambled egg for a nutritious balanced breakfast. They…
