Tangy Honey Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a great side dish, not only for summer and picnics, but for all year round! I really like this coleslaw—it has a little sweetness from honey and a little tang from apple cider vinegar…and those are both good-for-you ingredients! There’s chopped onion and green pepper in this, too, which gives this slaw a…

Blueberry Green Tea Smoothie
I saw this smoothie at Food.com and was kind of intrigued by the blueberry/green tea combination, wondering just what that would taste like. I had plenty of green tea on hand, some blueberries in my freezer, and vanilla yogurt in my fridge, so I didn’t have to buy a single thing to make this, which was…

Banana Oat Buttermilk Muffins
The other day I was at the grocery store and they had quite a few ripe bananas at a really good price! So thought it would be a good time to make some banana muffins! I had some buttermilk that I needed to be using up soon too, so that’s how I landed on baking…

Dark Chocolate-Almond Trail Mix
Trail mix is such a great snack and so easy to make! I make a mix with some healthy ingredients I usually have on hand—dried cranberries, coconut flakes, roasted almonds, chopped dates, and of course, dark chocolate chips! If you’re not crazy about dates, you can chop up your favorite energy or protein bar and…

5-Layer Greek Dip
The first time I had authentic Greek food was at a simple little family-owned Greek restaurant. Unfortunately, it’s no longer in business. 😦 I’ve eaten at many other Greek restaurants since then, but haven’t found any that top that place! I don’t cook a lot of Greek dishes myself, but I do make some easy…

Blackberry-Honey Lemonade
Drinking lemonade in the summertime is always a treat, and it can be a nice change of pace trying out different lemonade flavors. I’ve made Strawberry Lemonade, so I thought I’d try making some lemonade with blackberries. And I wanted to sweeten it with honey instead of sugar to make it a little healthier—I’m not sure if…

Buttermilk Honey Biscuits
If you like tender, flaky, easy-to-make biscuits, these Buttermilk Honey Biscuits are for you! They’re actually not very sweet, even with the honey—they might just have the very slightest hint of sweetness, but I think the honey slightly mellows out the tang of the buttermilk, and the buttermilk helps give the biscuits a tender texture.

Green Chile and Cheddar Cornbread
If you’re a cornbread lover like I am, you probably make it year ’round. In the warm weather months, I like having cornbread with a nice big salad; in the cool months, I love it with chili or soup. And cornbread is always a great item for breakfast, right? I like making different variations of…

Strawberry-Citrus Flax Smoothie
Wow, it sure is hot out there! So I thought it would be a good idea to post another smoothie recipe! This Strawberry-Citrus Flax Smoothie is a healthy, refreshing way to start your day, and it also makes a healthy snack—blend one up whenever you’re craving something cool and creamy (like ice cream or a…

Veggie Crescent Pizza
Everyone loves pizza, right? This “pizza” is a little different because it’s made with refrigerated crescent rolls for the crust. And instead of a tomato-based pizza sauce, this has a cool and creamy Ranch-flavored filling. It’s a cold-style pizza (the crust is the only thing that’s baked), with toppings of fresh veggies and cheddar cheese…
