Time to switch things up around here! Between boozy milkshakes and blondies, I thought it'd be a good time for a little balance! And with temps heating up this week, what better time to share my go-to pesto recipe. It's one of those recipes that's a staple in my house during the summer and I love how versatile it is. It's super fresh, takes all of about 5 minutes to put together and the ways to use it are endless! So I kind of have this commitment issue with basil. I like it, but I definitely don't want to marry it. Ya know what I ...
Avocado Deviled Eggs
I was going to share these yesterday, but I figured you might think they were some type of April fools joke! While I'm usually all about the cake in any way, shape or form, I promise you these are no joke. These avocado "deviled" eggs are my new obsession! These little gems are packed with flavor, completely satisfying and that bacon sprinkled on top is the icing on the cake! I wanted to do something new for Easter brunch this year and since we definitely have dessert covered, I thought it would be fun to zhush up classic deviled eggs. I ...
Goat Cheese Cheesecake Pretzel Bites
I hope you guys are enjoying the weekend! We're currently in the midst of another storm here in Boston, but I'm grateful it's mostly rain instead of snow. Although, once you get over 90 inches of snow in under a month, what's a few more inches... Anyway, this much snow can drive a person a little loco. Like in the beginning it's all oh, a snow day! Let's bake chocolate chip cookies, make a big pot of tomato soup and have a 90210 marathon. Three weeks later, this turns into I don't care what we watch anymore. Just give me the wine and ...
Avocado Egg Salad
The day has finally come to share the much talked about avocado egg salad with you! I've talked about it for what seems like a lifetime, have planned on sharing it about 25 times, but I usually end up eating it before I photograph it... What can I tell you, it's just that good! Anyway, it has finally arrived and after all the cookies I've "tested" over the past month, I think it's the perfect time for a "Balancing the Buttercream" post! The best thing about this egg salad makeover, besides how good it tastes, is how easy it is to make. ...
Skinny Nachos
Time for a little balancing the buttercream because it's been way too long! And because these skinny "nachos" are everything! My go-to taco filling served up in little bell peppers, topped with avocado and cheese - yes, please! Can we also talk about how they look like a party waiting to happen? I can't even handle it! So I love Mexican food, like I can probably be lured into almost anything with Mexican food and margaritas. We all have our weaknesses, okay. If you've been reading for a while, you already know I'm hopelessly devoted to ...
