Avocado Snack (Quick, Healthy and Vegan)
I hope you love this avocado snack as much as I do! Just two ingredients. The only tricky part is making sure you use your avocado at the right time. It needs to be ripe/somewhat soft on the inside so you can easily scoop it with a spoon, but you also don't want it over-ripe... (see the full recipe!)

Leprechaun Treats on St. Patrick’s Day
Does your family do anything to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Dress in green? Eat green food? Get visited by a sneaky leprechaun? Make an Irish dinner? Do an Irish jig? Search for four-leaf clovers and rainbows? In elementary school, I used to love wearing my green stirrup... (see the full recipe!)
Chocolate Covered Dates with Almonds
My husband visited Switzerland recently and of course stocked up on delicious gourmet chocolates (which sadly are all gone now). Some of the chocolates he brought home that were surprisingly really good were chocolate covered dates with almonds in the middle. As a kid, dates... (see the full recipe!)

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This is a healthier version of chocolate zucchini bread (uses half whole wheat flour, not as much sugar as some other recipes, lots of zucchini and some Greek yogurt for extra protein and moisture). BUT... it tastes like a very moist chocolate cake. My kind of snack :) This... (see the full recipe!)
Almond Butter Vegan Fudge
Update: I've made this vegan fudge several times (because it's just so good!), adjusting the measurements each time (and usually not measuring exactly). This way you don't have to measure out a cup of almond butter. You just use the whole 16 oz jar of it. Here is roughly how... (see the full recipe!)

Simple Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
This recipe is so simple and comes together quickly. Really, you can use just one bowl to mix everything together. There are two things I love about this Greek Yogurt Banana Bread recipe. One, the only sweeteners I used were Maple syrup and bananas (the yogurt I used was also... (see the full recipe!)
