Robert and I have an ongoing battle at our house.
I'm always experimenting with ways to make recipes healthier and less processed, but I've learned that if I've served it to my husband even one time in it's original, glorious, calorie-laden/sugar-overdose state, it's game over.
Enter: the battle of the banana bread.
My husband is typically not a fan of salad. I do my best to help him get his veggies, whether by hiding them in smoothies, mixing them into sauces, or smothering them in cheese... But it can be a challenge to get him to eat (and enjoy) a salad.
Enter: the Simple Spinach Salad. The secret? BACON.
I’ve mentioned before that I try to stick to the 80/20 rule with my diet... 80% healthy foods that my body can use as fuel, and 20% indulgent treats.
These delicious cookies are a piece of dessert heaven, though they definitely fall into the indulgence category. When I make them, I like to channel my best Paula Deen and wear a blindfold as I measure the butter. Robert calls them "THE cookies." As in, "Are you going to make THE cookies?"
