Elvis Muffins
Poor Elvis. A few not-so-great years, and how quickly we forget the amazing songs and movies from the first decade of his career! Though the math doesn’t add up (I’m only 29 . . . again), as a girl, I watched reruns of some of his happy-go-lucky movies such as Blue…

Almond Orange Biscotti
I used to adore a particular locally made biscotti that had a hint of orange flavor and was generously dipped in dark chocolate. Alongside my large-o mocha of sugar and chocolate, it’s no wonder I battled with my weight back then. Now I make my own grain-free treats….

Chocolate Almond Butter Swirls

Deviled Ham ‘n’ Eggs
I find it hard to believe now, but as a kid, I didn’t like deviled eggs. I would scoop out the filling and eat just the whites. There was something seriously wrong with me back then; I’m sure of it. Nowadays, I can’t get enough of these one-bite flavor explosions! I…
Cashew Lime Hummus
I used to be a recipe addict. I would tear countless recipes from magazines and hold on to them for years in the hope that one day I’d make a delicious item that would become a family favorite forever. Alas, I’ve grown up a bit since then, and I hate clutter. So I…
