Spinach dip is always a fan favorite. And when I found Trader Joe's Reduced-Guilt Spinach and Kale Greek Yogurt Dip, I thought I had found a little plastic bucket of heaven. The ingredient list is actually pretty natural on that product - you know how I dislike extra "filler" ingredients. I could sit down and eat this dip with crackers and veggies ... view more
Snacks
Lox, Red Onion, and Dill Savory Scones
Happy Birthday Dad! For your birthday, I am announcing to the Internets: I LIKE LOX! * I have not always liked smoked salmon, a.k.a. lox.

The downside to THAT is picking up groceries at the store. Is anything worse than a grocery store line before a storm or cold snap? This Cheesy Beer Bread is so ... view more
Snow Day Snacks: Microwave S’Mores
I took one for the team last weekend during a snow day and had a "S'Mores Workshop." With myself. You are hereby highly encouraged to do the same yourself - either solo or with a few friends. My goal was to determine the perfect ratio of chocolate : marshmallow : graham cracker, and how long the microwave takes to work its ... view more
