Hey, guys! It's been one crazy summer in our house, but a few days ago I got a craving for some Jalapeño Hummus and since this was a recipe I had promised to share, took some photos while I made it! This is a spicy hummus loaded with jalapeños, lime, garlic, and cumin, and cilantro can also be added for a fresh pop of flavor. It's a great dip for veggies, chips, crackers, or even bread, and is a great healthy snack. It's vegetarian and vegan, and it takes about 5 minutes to whip up!
Hi, guys! I'm back with a recipe for a delicious little dip/spread: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus! It's so easy to make and all of the ingredients can be purchased ahead of time to make this in a pinch. It's just a matter of dumping everything into a blender and voila! You have a delicious hummus that you can serve as a dip for just about anything or a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps. It's a great party or picnic food and can be ready in about 5 minutes!

We love our Family Movie Nights and this time we're watching Peter Rabbit! In honor of our movie pick, I made these scrumptious Marshmallow Kettle Corn Cottontails for everyone to munch on during the film. They're bite-sized, gooey popcorn treats that are so easy, they take just minutes to throw together.

Get Ready for Trolls Holiday with Printable Games Placemats and So Much Flippin' Glitter Popcorn!

Thanksgiving is over so that means it's officially HOLIDAY TIME! It's my favorite time of year and part of getting into the spirit is enjoying fun holiday movies. We have a ton of old favorites but I also look forward to the new ones, like the new Trolls Holiday movie! We loved Trolls, so when I told the fam about the new movie, they couldn't wait for the next Family Movie Night and I had fun designing a new printable games placemat to help them get into the spirit.

I am a sucker for hummus, and recently I was inspired by one of my favorite snacks to create a new flavor with an Italian twist: a Zesty Garlic, Tomato & Basil Hummus, and it is delicious! Hummus is such an easy dip to make as it just gets thrown into a blender or food processor and there are so many ways to snack with it. I'll give you my recipe and show you just how easy it is to have a tasty, better-for-you dip in minutes and this one is perfect for a crowd!

If you're a fan of Cheerios (and who isn't?!) I have a fantastic post for you today. I created cereal bars using Cheerios that are stuffed with good-for-you tropical dried fruits and nuts that only take about 10 minutes to make! These sweet and slightly salty bars are great as a breakfast bar or an on-the-go snack and will keep you going all day, and right now you can share the love with the Cheerios Buy One, Give One promotion too.

Summer is the time when people want to get out there, so it makes sense that it's also the time when we get the most visitors. Friends, family, and neighbors all drop by when the weather gets nice and no matter what you have in the fridge, you can feed your last-minute company in style as long as you have a box of TRISCUIT crackers in your pantry. Today I'm making the Avomangsalscuit (avocado+mango+salsa) with creamy avocado slices, juicy, sweet mango slices, and a spicy black bean and corn salsa. It's a winning combination that will make your guests think you planned it. Let's Make ‘Scuit Happen.

My daughter has long been a fan of Goldfish® crackers. These adorable snacks are a better-for-you baked option, and we love to create fun snack mixes that use yummy, good-for-you ingredients. A classic flavor pairing for fall is cheddar with apples, so we decided to amp it up with a few extra fall flavors to make this fun spin on a classic pairing!

Bringing school lunches can get boring. They want the same sandwich day in and day out, or they beg for pre-packaged store-bought lunches. You know the ones I mean. Well, you can make them at home for a fraction of the cost and add in some healthy items too.
Whether you need gluten-free lunch ideas for the kids, or they're just plain bored with sandwiches, serving the filling ingredients on a skewer is a fun way to get them interested in eating a healthy lunch (and asking for more!)
