Introducing Zucchini Pie

Zucchini pie anyone?!? When I say zucchini pie, most people give me a weird look! However, when they try it, they find that it is quite yummy! It reminds me of a custard pie; smooth, creamy, amazing.  It is a great way to use up that one zucchini that you found hiding that has grown to the size of a small baseball bat.

DIY Infused Water Recipes

We all know we should be drinking water. Good chance more water than we are. But what if you don’t like just plain ole’ water? You probably will reach for the many flavored waters that are on the market.  You may be thinking, “sweet, I’m drinking water instead of Coke so this will be better for me”. I love your train of thinking and for making that switch from Coke to water. Sadly, many flavored waters on the market are filled with artificial sweeteners, flavors and preservatives. 🙁 I’m sorry if I just bummed you out. But take heart because in this post I will be sharing easy DIY infused water recipes you can make at home plus one company that sells legit flavored sparkling water.

Puppy Chow

Puppy Chow is my absolute favorite holiday sweet treat! The crunchy, chocolate, peanut buttery goodness I crave! Have you ever had it? It’s the perfect party snack. I like to upgrade the ingredients to make it as “healthy” as possible! 😉

Puppy Chow Recipe Notes:
  • The darker the chocolate you use, the less sugar it will have. I like these.
  • Be sure to use natural peanut butter. ingredients should only contain peanuts and maybe some salt.
  • This freezes great so keep it in the freezer and pull out when desired.
  • Look for an organic powdered sugar that uses tapioca starch instead of cornstarch and is made with real cane sugar.
  • This recipe is gluten free. To make it dairy free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Choose organic when possible.
