Strawberry Pineapple Salsa

 

We went strawberry picking and had A LOT of strawberries to use. I made a rhubarb salsa years ago with cinnamon and sugar chips and knew there had to be a good strawberry salsa recipe out there too. I found one and gave it a try.

I liked the salsa. I would pile it high on the chips for a tasty snack. The kids were not huge fans of the salsa but did enjoy the chips.

PB Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

I've been craving peanut butter lately and these cookies sounded like they would really hit the spot. We all really liked the flavor. They weren't too sweet so they made for a tasty breakfast. 

For me, they would be a good breakfast or even a snack. It's easy to grab a couple and head on your way. My children, however, needed a large handful of cookies to satisfy them in the morning so if you typically eat a bigger breakfast, these may not be filling enough for you. 

Sourdough Cheddar Cheese Crackers

Loving this new Sourdough Cracker recipe that we found. The crackers are like cheese it's, only better and you know exactly what ingredients go into them. Quite a tasty snack!

This sourdough recipe can be made without any wait time. Simply bring your discard to room temperature and then make the dough. 

Whole Wheat Crackers

These Sourdough Whole Wheat Crackers do take a bit of time to make but in my opinion, they are worth the effort. These crackers taste like freshly made Wheat Thins.

The recipe does make a decent amount of crackers…although I did eat A LOT before they even made it into the container. All of the smaller edge pieces were calling my name and just had to be eaten 🙂

Easy Puppy Chow

This Easy Puppy Chow recipe could not be any easier. All you need is 4 ingredients and you have a tasty snack (or dessert) in a matter of minutes.

There are much more complicated Puppy Chow recipes out there but this one tastes good and the best part is, the kids can make it all by themselves. I’m all for kids taking over the kitchen 🙂

Microwave Popcorn Popper

Everyone that knows me well knows that I LOVE popcorn. ANY kind of popcorn! When we eat popcorn in our house, everyone gets their own bowl. I’m not talking cereal bowl, I’m talking large mixing bowl. Go big or go home 🙂 To satisfy our popcorn cravings, we searched for the perfect Popcorn Popper, and WE FOUND IT!

Sourdough Pretzel Bites

This week for Sourdough Saturday, we made No Knead Sourdough Bread but had some extra discard leftover. We searched for a new sourdough recipe to try and found these Sourdough Pretzel Bites and decided to give them a try.

Making the dough was not hard. It was as easy as pouring ingredients in the mixer, turning on the mixer, and walking away. About 5 minutes later, the dough was ready to be covered and sit overnight. I should have added more flour to my dough at this point (my discard must have been a little thinner than the original recipe was made with). The dough was pulling away from the side of the bowl but was not quite forming a dough ball.

Sourdough Zucchini Muffins

These Sourdough Zucchini Muffins are a quick and tasty way to use up your sourdough discard for the week. My kids enjoy them for breakfast or grab them for a quick snack after school. They do prefer them with chocolate chips so those are a regular addition for us.

Easy Homemade Granola

I was on a mission to find the best homemade granola recipe and I’m happy to report that I did it! Not only is this the best tasting granola, it’s also super easy. It’s a win in all areas! The only problem is keeping it stocked in my pantry. It’s that good! It literally disappears by the handful 🙂

Some of you may be a little nervous when you see the coconut listed as an ingredient. I have one kiddo that does not like coconut AT ALL but loves this granola. Often times when people ask me for this recipe after tasting it, they are surprised to learn that coconut is one of the ingredients. So…if you’re not a huge coconut fan, I’d still encourage you to give this a try. It really doesn’t taste like coconut at all.

Harper's Trail Mix

Today’s recipe is a special one! Harper is a student in my 3rd grade class. We made a deal…she’d try one of my recipes, I’d try one of hers 🙂 She made and enjoyed my Chickpea Soup so…I’m excited to share Harper’s Trail Mix with you.
