Though this recipe doesn't originally call for this to be dairy free, I decided to try and make it work- and honestly I loved it! And it made this meal SO much healthier (without the heavy cream and cheese). We originally made this last year for our Superbowl party (GO PATS!!!) and included the dairy … Continue reading Slow Cooker Dairy Free Corn Chowder

Avocado Pesto
This Avocado Pesto recipe was simply delicious! I'm really actually not a huge fan of pesto; I'm unsure if maybe when I was younger I overdid it on pesto so now I don't enjoy it, or what!

Pancakes? Healthy?? YUP! And the best part of it is, the main batter for these healthy pancakes is just 3 simple ingredients. That's it! Banana, Eggs, and Rolled Oats!
