Spread Love, Joy, and Peace
The holidays encompass so many things in my mind. I cherish the extra time with family that falls through the cracks throughout the year. I love seeing friends from near and far, coming together under one roof for one party or another. I crave the food that is hearty and rich and should only be enjoyed among the ones you love. It’s the epitome of holidays to me.
To kick off the season in eatable fashion, a cheese board is the staple of it all. The conversation starter. A piece of art. A mix of flavors that pairs the best with wine. From Thanksgiving to Christmas my heart bursts at the seams with all that’s in store. Cheese boards are the beginning of memories to be made. Here’s to the combinations on one small board that will have your heart singing from Thanksgiving to Christmas and beyond!

No matter the time of year, it’s become one of our favorite sweet tooth cravings in our household. Which one you ask? The frozen yogurt or the dark chocolate peanut butter cups? Actually, both! The best idea was to put the two together to create a bowl of goodness.
When I was younger, I never understood my Mom’s craving of chocolate. I liked it and all but craaaaaving it? Yeah, that didn’t exactly happen to me. Over the past several years, I have slowly come to understand this thing people talk about and my Mom’s sweet tooth cravings. It’s ironic that this sweet tooth decided to grace me with it’s presence at a time in life where I really wanted to start creating a healthier lifestyle for myself. I switched to eating real food that was good for me and actually adding to my life rather than hindering it. What’s a girl to do? Life’s all about balance but there are still some foods that just shouldn’t be ingested for the amount of harm it may cause.
I’ve teamed up with Stonyfield Yogurt to bring you a seasonal dish that I have come to love! Get your oven heated, your stove cooking, and your toppings prepped! Pears may quickly become one your favorite fruits in just a few easy steps, and your home will be infused with the essence of Autumn.
