Snickerdoodle Dip
Healthy Food does not have to taste bad or boring!
My Future Brother-In-Law has a thing for Snickerdoodles. The problem with snickerdoodles though is that they are not really healthy. Now, I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with un-healthy foods here and there, but when the whole family is getting together you know there is going to be a lot of food! A lot of food equals a lot of unhealthy choices – so its nice to have some healthy treats to munch on here and there.
This Dip is perfect with apple slices, graham crackers, or any other sort of delicious crisp (like some Apple Chips maybe). Enjoy some Snickerdoodle Dip at your next family get together and have a healthy sweet escape.

Pickled Jalapenos
If you are a regular reader here, you may remember that last year my fabulous fiance (who at that point was just a great boyfriend) planted two habanero plants. “Ok”, I thought to myself “how bad can that be”. WELL – two habanero plants led to about 3 million (maybe I exaggerate) habaneros being thrown out. These things were way too hot for most normal use. I mean, I was able to make some soup, and muffins, infused vodka, some delicious pepper flakes, and even a hot sauce that caused us to vacate the house – but we came to the conclusion that Habanero should not be planted at our house.
Fast forward to this year where we planted Jalapenos (not even sure how many plants we have – but it is a lot). Jalapeno Poppers are making regular appearances around here in different variations. Salsa is a common occurrence as well (best when eaten with a spoon – no extra calories then)! But when we were going to be away for a few days and had way too many of these beauties around, I figured why not pickle them!
