I always thought it would be fun to host one of those Holiday cookie exchanges where guests bring dozens of one kind of cookie and swap them with the other guests so that each person goes home with a nice variety. However, somehow it’s 8 days away until Christmas and I am not sure organizing one…
Ambrosia Apple Upside-Down Cake {Gluten Free}
I was asked to participate in the #iloveambrosia campaign as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I was compensated for my time and was gifted a dozen Ambrosia apples. Hi friends! Well little ol’ me turns another year older today! Yep, it’s my birthday! I will follow in my mom and grandmother’s footsteps…
Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies {Gluten Free}
I’m so glad the guide to gluten free flours was helpful to some of you. I decided to experiment with one of my all-purpose flour mixes and make some chocolate chip cookies using leftover Easter candy. I don’t know when Easter became this Holiday all about candy. I swear my kids got more on the neighborhood…
Double Chocolate Cheesecake for Valentine’s Day
Every year on Valentine’s Day my husband and I put the kids to bed a little early and enjoy a romantic home cooked meal instead of worrying about making reservations at some fancy restaurant. How is it different than any other night I cook? Well for one thing, the kids are in bed. We open…
Mini Cherry Cheesecake Bites
As magical as pregnancy can be, I am just about ready for this one to be over- 38 weeks, tired, uncomfortable and in need of a good workout (and a good glass of wine!). I am not even that excited about Holiday eating because there isn’t much room in my belly for it. What I…

Summer Memories and Chocolate Silk Pie
If you’ve read my about page you’d know that although I am a big fan of healthy eating, sometimes I like to splurge on things I wouldn’t necessarily label as “nutritious” and since the name of my blog is Nutritious Eats I have to preface things by saying this pie is not one of those “nutritious…
Move Over Girl Scouts: Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie
I haven’t posted a splurge-worthy recipe in a LONG time so look away if you are trying to fit into a bathing suit by the summer time. Look away if you are watching what you’re eating. You’re going to want one of these cookies now. And you will make a batch and want to eat…
Chocolate Pudding Pops (aka Fudge Pops)
Popsicles. Who doesn’t have fond memories eating them as a kid? Push Ups, Rocket Pops, Orange Creme, basic Grape, Cherry and Lime, Fudgsicles….the list goes on. For some reason, I’ve had a strong desire to let me kids try some of my old time favorite popsicles- especially the chocolate pudding pop (aka fudge pop). When…
An Easter Treat: Chocolate Birds’ Nest
An easy Easter treat that you can easily make gluten free- it doubles as dessert and table decorations! We are having a simple Easter celebration over here, since we still have unpacking to do. We know where the church is, so my main concern was what to cook that wouldn’t take a lot of my…
