Asiago Cheese Ball

We were invited to a Halloween party and asked to bring a finger food to share.  Normally I would go the sweet route but this time I decided to make a savory snack.  I created this cheese ball out of a memory of one I sampled a year or so ago.  The recipe is simple but was a big hit with the adults at the party!













Asiago Cheese Ball

2 (8 oz)  packages cream cheese, softened to room temp.
1 wedge Asiago Cheese (approx. 5 oz), finely grated
3 triangles Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.  Scoop cheese onto plastic wrap or aluminum foil.  Shape into desired width and wrap.  Leave in the fridge overnight.  Unwrap and roll in nuts if desired.  To make a pumpkin, use a butter knife to make grooves and smooth the edges.  Top with a broccoli stalk.  Serve with crackers of your choice.  Enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
