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.

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.

Healthy Ingredient Upgrades For Thanksgiving
Make your Thanksgiving meal more nourishing by upgrading your ingredients. Most ingredients in a recipe can easily be swapped for a healthier upgrade without compromising flavor! Take a look at the list below. What healthy upgrades can you make in your cooking/baking? This particular list includes products that you can swap out one for one. Ingredients like almond or coconut flour are great baking options, but are not a one for one swap so they are not on the list. If you want to use those ingredients, I recommend finding a recipe that calls for it.
