Orange Pear Kale Green Smoothie
I still had some extra kale after making my Roasted Veggie and Kale Salad, so I thought I’d make a smoothie with some of it! I had read awhile back that kale has 10 times the vitamin C, 4 times the vitamin A, almost 2 times the vitamin K, and more calcium and vitamin B6…

Spanakopita
Spanakopita is one of my favorite appetizers. I have always loved the cheesy spinach filling and flaky phyllo crust! I first made this recipe when I did a review of 175 Best Mini Pie Recipes: Sweet to Savory. The Spanakopita recipe in this book sounded really good and I just had to make it! There’s no…

Cheeseburger Tacos
We all know typical tacos are made with ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, salsa, and maybe some sour cream on top, right? Well, here’s another take on the traditional taco—how about a Cheeseburger Taco? I found this recipe when I did a review for the cookbook The Taco Revolution a few years back. There are all…

Chocolate Chip Muffins
When you’re in the mood to bake some muffins, these Chocolate Chip Muffins are a great choice! They’re nice and cake-y with lots of chocolate chips in every bite! In fact, they’re so chocolatey, you don’t need a glaze on this muffin because it’s plenty sweet all on its own.
