I've been obsessed with the two ingredient bagels, and after months of enjoying them I decided to see if I could switch them up. I love a cinnamon raisin bagel but the calories always deterred me from ordering them. I decided to try them this way and all I can say is, "What took me so long??" They came out amazing. The perfect cinnamon flavor! </br> With deliciously low calories bagels like these you can top them with almost anything and not feel guilty. I like a little ... [ Read More ]
Apple Crisp
As Elia is getting older and is starting to enjoy more outside activities, we've been trying to come up with things to do as a family as often as we can. With fall in full swing (and her love of apples), apple picking seemed perfect! It was a lovely day spent together and not only did she have a blast, but we picked an abundance of apples. Right when we got home I couldn't wait to get in the kitchen and whip up my favorite apple crisp recipe. It's so simple and I promise you'll be craving it ... [ Read More ]
Air Fryer Ham & Cheese Hot Pockets (with 2 Ingredient Dough!)
There's nothing I love more that hanging with my hubby on Sundays, watching the football games and eating lots of yummy game-day eats! Ok, well...the second half of that statement is true. Truthfully, I'm not a huge football fan, but the best part of the season for me is getting creative in the kitchen and slimming down typical "Football Sunday" foods and tricking my husband into thinking he's eating the real thing! My latest creation are these Ham & Cheese Hot Pockets that I made ... [ Read More ]
Peanut Butter and Jelly Stuffed French Toast
Elia's eating habits have been inspiring a lot of the recipes that I've been creating for our family. Her newfound love of PB & J sandwiches is to blame for this sweet and savory Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast. I must admit, I even impressed myself with this one, especially considering it took me less than 20 minutes from start to finish. A total mom win! This beauty isn' just for kids either. You can make this an elevated brunch dish and easily mix and match different types of nut ... [ Read More ]
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios Cereal Bars
We're almost to the middle of September which means I'm officially ready for fall. Sweaters, fuzzy socks, and all things pumpkin are at the top of my "must have" list so, when Cheerios sent me a box of their Pumpkin Spice cereal along with a recipe for gooey cereal bars, I knew I had to break out my fall platter and make these ASAP. The recipe was insanely easy and they turned out absolutely delicious. Full disclosure, I had to stop myself from nearly finishing the batch. ... [ Read More ]

Maple Tahini Vegetable Buddha Bowl
I've LOVED getting back to sharing more recipes with all of you and when this one turned out the way it did, I knew I had to share it.

Eating colorful foods is always something I strive to do and this dish nailed that. You can totally follow my recipe exactly or tweak it and make it your own with whatever vegetables you love! Let me know how it ... [ Read More ]
The BEST French Onion Soup
This amazing recipe was made possible by the sponsorship of Brownberry Bread I know what you're thinking. "Erica, why on earth are you giving us a soup recipe during the hot and humid summer?" The answer is simple. On those torrential downpour summer days, a little comfort food can go a long way. Plus, it's not going to be summer forever (as we know), so tuck this one away and you'll thank me later. This is one of my favorite recipes and I have a few secrets that truly make this the ...

Mini Pizza Pop-Tarts
True Story: I'm addicted to pizza. I recently got my air fryer and was brainstorming how I could make a healthier version of this highly addictive kryptonite of mine. Then it hit me, I could put all my favorite pizza ingredients in a little pop-tart form. Let's be honest, a healthy, less guilt pizza is what we all dream of. This entire recipe makes 48 pop-tarts and they are less than 20 calories a piece (18 to be exact)! If you're doing weight watchers, 2 of these babies is just 1 ... [ Read More ]
Un-fried Eggroll Recipe
Call me what you will (my husband would say major nerd), but testing out the latest and greatest kitchen gadgets is definitely a hobby of mine. I always want to know first hand if it will save me time, save me calories, and be worth it for foodies and beginner cooks alike. Cue the air fryer. As someone who has a hard time passing up a fried anything, I really truly thought it was too good to be true. Naturally, I had to see for myself so I managed to get one delivered to my house in a matter ... [ Read More ]
