When it comes to fall flavors, I have a hard time deciding between pumpkin and apple. Pumpkin chocolate chip will always be one of my favorite combinations (like in these muffins), but I can't argue with a good apple cider or apple crisp either. If you're an apple lover, these easy cinnamon apples are for you.

Recipe: S’mores Energy Bites
Last winter, my husband found these fun mini marshmallows in the beverage section at Target, near all of the hot cocoa packets. (They're like these, but you can probably find them cheaper in store.)

Recipe: Potato Pizza
Do you have any weird food combinations that you just really enjoy? I'm not talking the pickles-and-ice-cream stereotype here (although if that's your thing, you do you).

They're still around, and they still have a potato pizza, but they've changed it from what it used to be. So this recipe … [Read more...]
