Honey Lime Grilled Fruit Skewers

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 10 Comments

You guys, Honey Lime Grilled Fruit Skewers--  this was a recipe that happened by accident. Don't you love when good things happen just because? We were doing breakfast on the grill over the weekend (yeah-- that's a thing!) and had a lot of fruit in the fridge that needed to find a home. And a happy home it found-- fruit on the grill skewered with a sprinkle of cinnamon and kissed with honey and fresh lime. Ahh... perfection. As you can see Honey Lime Grilled Fruit Skewers are yummy any time of day-- breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just because. Grilling is often focused on protein so fruit skewers are a great way to add more produce and flavor to your menu. This recipe is super versatile, add your favorite fruit to skewers, sprinkle with cinnamon and brush ... View Post

Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 27 Comments

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Because homemade chocolate chip cookies are L.I.F.E. Really, it doesn't get much better than a warm buttery chocolate chip cookie... crispy on the outside and slightly soft in the middle. When they just come out of the oven the chocolate chips are all melty and slightly under cooked in the middle and as they cool down they are the ideal chocolate chip cookie for milk dunking. We need recipes like this because they remind us of when life was more simple. Back when we would eat chocolate chip cookies on the reg growing up because there were no food fears or weight gain worry. And because we (as a culture) desperately need to find that again. For instance, it's kinda like why eating a brownie can be good for you. Same ... View Post

Lemon Berry Breakfast Muffins

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 18 Comments

These Lemon Berry Breakfast Muffins with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, lemons, blueberries and raspberries make for a wholesome snack or breakfast! Lemon Berry Breakfast Muffins My son absolutely loves muffins. He comes by it naturally because here lately a deliciously baked muffin and coffee is what I like to eat first thing in the morning, or paired with tea in the afternoon.   My granny from Alabama was a baker and so is my mama (she made our wedding cake!). These two women are the inspiration behind starting this blog way back in 2011. My mom always said she wanted an online collection of her mother's recipes and I was in my dietetic internship, so my passion was healthier family recipes. And with my grandmother's recipes-- the blog was born!     So as ... View Post
