3-Ingredient, No-Bake Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Brownies

November 20, 2018 by Dawna Stone

It’s hard to believe that these three simple ingredients can turn into a beautiful, healthy dessert in almost no time. I love making these brownies with my kids – minimal ingredients and no baking makes it easy, with almost-instant gratification. Of course the best part of the process is eating them :)

Blackberry Yogurt Bowl

April 15, 2016 by Dawna Stone

This may look like a healthy, power breakfast (which it definitely can be), but I tend to enjoy this Warm Blackberry Yogurt Bowl as an after dinner treat. There's something so sweet and satisfying about warm blackberries over chilled yogurt. With the addition of bananas and sliced almonds, this is a delicious dessert that you can enjoy without any guilt.

Avocado & Egg

April 1, 2016 by Dawna Stone

This breakfast (or snack) has 4 ingredients, which makes it SO easy to make any day of the week. The best part about it is that the the avocado and egg have so much yummy flavor on their own that you don't need much else to make it delicious and satisfying.

Although it seems like a breakfast dish, I think it's a good snack option for that afternoon lull; and the kids love it as a tasty treat after school.

Homemade Cranberry Almond Granola

February 23, 2016 by Dawna Stone

There's something very satisfying about making homemade granola. For starters, you know exactly what ingredients are going into the mixture, and you can make a big batch that can feed you and your family for days.

I often make the granola during the weekend in preparation for the coming week's breakfasts. My favorite morning meal at the moment in a Dark Cherry Smoothie Bowl (recipe coming later this week) sprinkled with this Cherry Almond Granola. But the possibilities of breakfast combinations are endless.

In addition to breakfast, this granola makes for a great afternoon snack. My kids love enjoying it right after school… the flavor and crunch is always a hit.

Super Superbowl Snacks

February 4, 2016 by Dawna Stone

Sports fan or not, the Superbowl is a classic time for friends and family to get together. Perhaps you're cheering for a specific team or player…. Or if watching the game isn't your thing, perhaps you'll be watching for the hundreds of commercials debuting during the prime time spot. Either way, who doesn't love an excuse for a gathering?

I love hosting and the prep before the party is a great way to spend some time in the kitchen with my family and create some fun meals and snacks for everyone to enjoy. For an occasion like this, I typically tap into my vault of favorite appetizers that always get rave reviews.  If you're hosting at your house, or taking a dish to a friends', here are some simple, yet delicious, recipes that you can show off.

Enjoy the game!
