4.26 108 Published May 16, 2016, Updated Aug 22, 2023 If you’ve been reading EBF for awhile you’ll know that throughout the summer months I’m all about overnight oats. They’re cool, creamy and so easy. I love that I can whip up a batch before bed and wake up to a healthy and delicious breakfast without having to cook anything. I’ve shared a bunch of dessert inspired overnight oat combos (like peanut butter cup overnight oats and chocolate banana overnight oats), but I think this brownie batter version is the most decadent....

Ingredient Notes Tomatoes – You can really use any type of tomato. I like nice plum tomatoes on the vine, romas also work great. Onion – onion is not traditionally included in bruschetta, but I love it as an optional addition! White, yellow, or red onion is fine, you’ll just want to mince it very fine so it doesn’t overpower the dish. Basil – fresh basil is best here. Olive Oil and Balsamic – you’ll want to use good extra virgin olive oil and a quality balsamic....

5 20 Published Jan 14, 2014, Updated Jun 17, 2024 Regular popcorn is actually pretty healthy on it’s own, especially if you air pop it and eat it plain. It’s a whole grain and low in calories, which is nice for volume eaters that like to snack (a.k.a. me). I actually keep kernels on hand and use the brown paper lunch bag trick to pop mine when I’m craving popcorn....

There are lots of great short-cut dips of this same style. Lots of people like to mix a block of cream cheese with some salsa, and there’s the Rotel + Velveeta dip, and heck, I love this one.

Pomegranates are a great source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Oranges, on the other hand, are a great source of vitamin C, folate and potassium. Together, they make a great combination for a healthy and delicious salad. This type of salad is often served as a side dish or as a light lunch. It can also be a great addition to any meal. The vibrant colors and unique flavors of the oranges and pomegranates make it a visually appealing dish....

We had a quiet, at-home Memorial Day at the beginning of this week, but we sure made it fun - and delicious! There was board games and puzzles and reading, Legos and building projects, bike rides and homemade ice cream, Mario Kart playing, and a dinner feast on the porch with bacon cheeseburgers, corn on the cob, coleslaw, oven fries and watermelon. This coming weekend we will celebrate my sweet chocolate lab Dixie, who is turning 11....

The Greek yogurt replaces any oil you’d typically need and because it’s not overly sweet I love having a slice of this cake for breakfast with a warm cup of coffee....

4.33 477 Published May 04, 2021, Updated Jun 28, 2024 I know some people love their store-bought protein bars (and I have a few favs too) but I honestly really like making homemade protein balls because I can control what ingredients go into the mix AND they’re way cheaper. Plus, coming up with the different flavor combinations is so fun! No Food Processor Needed One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of protein ball recipes call for medjool dates and a food processor....

Talk about an easy meal that kids and grown-ups will love!...

Yes, I do realize that the Super Bowl is this weekend. I also realize that this isn’t really your typical Super Bowl fare. Although it could be–I mean, what’s not to like? Avocado? Good. Cilantro? Good? Jam? Good. Kidding about the jam, 5 million dollars if you catch reference. Also kidding about the 5 million dollars. If I had 5 million dollars, let alone 5 million dollars to get away, I’d be hiding in a tropical location, eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on the beach....
