It's called Strawberry Pretzel Salad, but it is really a dessert. There are three delicious layers that come together and satisfy your sweet and salty cravings at the same time. How is that even possible? Let me tell you! The bottom layer is an easy-to-make pretzel crust. That's the salty. The middle layer is a fluffy layer made with whipped dairy topping and cream cheese. Top it all off with a layer of sweet strawberries and strawberry ...

Skinny Chocolate Truffle Recipe
Homemade truffles were a first for me - but they definitely won't be my last. I am always up for trying the lower calorie version of desserts - and I'm so glad I tried these skinny truffles made with Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. I don't miss the extra fat and calories, and I love getting a dose of good-for-you probiotics from the yogurt. You don't need fancy candy-making equipment to make these truffles. It's easy to use your ...

PINK Chocolate & Peppermint Popcorn Recipe
I got seriously addicted to white chocolate drizzled peppermint popcorn over the Christmas holidays. It was one of the best homemade neighbor gifts EVER. I don't even feel guilty about not sharing the bag with the rest of my family. I sneaked a handful here and there until it was gone. There was a moment of panic when I realized I had no idea how to make more. Luckily, my friend was willing to share their chocolate popcorn recipe with ...
50 Delicious Recipes for Ripe Bananas
You never need to throw away a ripe banana. A ripe banana is a banana that is no longer all yellow - it is now covered in brown spots all over. My kids like completely yellow bananas and won't eat a banana if it starts getting those brown spots. So, those bananas sit out on the counter turning browner and browner...which is a good thing - the perfect thing actually - if you are wanting to bake with them. Ripe bananas are exactly what you need to ...
Homemade Cranberry Pancakes with Orange Syrup
I overstocked up on bags of fresh cranberries during the holiday season. They were so cheap, I just had to pick them up and put them in my freezer. Did you know you can just toss bags of fresh cranberries in the freezer until you're ready to use them? Yes! Do it! Anytime you need cranberry sauce, you can take out a bag of frozen cranberries and cook them even without thawing. My friend has a juicer and freezes her cranberries until she's ready to ...
