These White Chip Pumpkin Pancakes are seriously my new favorites (I am not just saying that). The subtle taste of pumpkin and spices is truly magical with white chocolate chips in a perfectly fluffy pancake topped with caramel sauce AND maple syrup. Oh yes…you have to add both sauces! The flavor combination is so delectable that my mouth just started watering thinking about it. HUH…would it be weird if I made a batch at 10 pm? …
This Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini is an absolute dream in a glass. The Godiva Chocolate Liqueur is so creamy and delicious on it’s own, but add Crème de Cocoa and Caramel Vodka to the mix…pure sinful delight.
…
This Crockpot Peach Crisp Oatmeal with steel-cut oats is heart-healthy and EASY to prepare! The flavors are so tantalizingly delicious with peaches, buttermilk, brown sugar, cinnamon and topped with graham cracker crumbs (YUM). This recipe is also great for busy mothers who don’t have time to cook a warm breakfast in the morning (crockpots are such a lifesaver)! You can throw this in the crockpot before going to bed and sleep soundly knowing that steel-cut oats are one of the healthiest ways to start your family’s day off right. …
Turkey sausage is added to this healthy Lemon Basil Pasta Primavera for added heartiness. This pasta dish is not lacking flavor with plenty of fresh summer vegetables including broccoli, zucchini, tomato, onion and red pepper. Feel free to mix it up by adding your own favorite veggies! This savory vegetable mixture is simmered in a light sauce with fresh lemon juice, basil and white wine.

This Apple Pie Martini is a huge upgrade from the standard Appletini that I was once so fond of (until this came into my life). Adding a few extra key ingredients is all it takes to make this dreamy, dessert cocktail.
I am totally OBSESSED with martinis right now…probably because they pack a big punch and taste spectacular if made correctly. Who needs dessert when they can have one of these? You will have to excuse me if I make no sense right now…I just finished this delightful beverage and my martini glass is super-sized!!! …
A Peach Harvest Apple Smoothie is a truly delightful and healthy way to use all those fresh peaches that are at the local markets right now. This recipe is super easy to make and includes juicy fresh peaches, yogurt and applesauce. I can’t stop buying peaches and this is probably the first of several other peach posts!

These S’mores Waffles are too sinful!!! I don’t know about you, but I can do without the bug bites and smoky-smelling hair that accompanies the campfire version. Why not have this delightful combination of buttermilk graham cracker waffles, chocolate bars and marshmallows covered with extra chocolate and caramel syrup? The beauty of this recipe is that you can toast your marshmallows to absolute perfection using a kitchen torch! Finally, I can have a S’ More that I didn’t completely char over a campfire….
Finally…an addictive banana bread that I can eat without feeling guilty about it!!! I made this Healthier Banana Bread with whole wheat flour, nonfat greek yogurt and applesauce. The cinnamon crumb topping makes this bread even more delectable! I know what you are thinking, it can’t be as moist and delicious as oily bread with white flour. YES, it certainly can! The only downside to this bread is that I can’t stop eating it (I guess it really isn’t healthy to eat half a loaf in one day)….
I am crazy for paninis and this Tomato Pesto Panini is my favorite one ever! I love the combination of fresh pesto, tomatoes and mozzarella on a crusty bread. I have been ordering a similar version at Panera for ages and became very upset when they discontinued it. You can always customize your own favorite combination and use this delicious pesto recipe!

A Berry Banana Yogurt Smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to drink your daily fruit intake. It is loaded with bananas, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. You can also give it an extra boost of vitamins and antioxidants by adding a couple of tablespoons of ground flaxseed and fresh parsley. This is a really healthy breakfast for someone who is busy and on-the-go like me. …
