Hi, it’s Ari again from Ari’s Menu. I’m so excited to be sharing these wonderful and healthy Blackberry Almond Meal Muffins with y’all this month. Can we talk about muffins for a second? I have to say that I’m usually not a fan. Let’s be honest, they are usually a cupcake without frosting that we [...]
I’m always trying to figure out how to get healthy foods into my kids, but I have to stay on my toes or they get bored. Unfortunately, many of the Pina Colada Fruit Dips call for instant coconut pudding, which is not healthy at all. I knew I could make a similar tasting dip without [...]
I’ve mentioned a few times, mostly on Facebook, that I’m on a quest to get my tooshie in gear and make healthier choices. I eat reasonably well, but I do splurge and eat way to much…so I’m making some small changes every week to improve my health. That started this week! Will [...]
For our 5th Wedding Anniversary (which was many, many years ago), hubbyman took us to a wonderful little B&B on Vancouver Island. We had a wonderful week there and had the most amazing food! Luckily, I was smart enough back then to ask for my favorite recipe from the B&B owners. Every morning for breakfast, [...]
I needed a quick and easy dessert for a recent potluck I attended. I was not feeling inspired, so I thought I would wonder the grocery store until I thought of something. Luckily, I left the little man at home, cuz it took about 30 minutes for me to come up with this Patriotic Berry [...]
I love mangos. So when we had a little session on mangos at Camp Blogaway I was super excited! I was even more excited when we sampled some mango recipes and were told we would get a box of mangos delivered to our homes! Seriously…you would have thought it was Christmas…well, at least for me! Before I [...]
I am super busy getting ready for my trip to New York for the Sandra by Sandra Lee launch party and I’m prepping my son’s 3rd birthday party, so I’m taking an easy out today. LOL! My seven year, Kaylynn, is in her 3rd year of Girl Scouts and is finally old enough for a [...]
My mom makes a side dish (which should really be a dessert) that she calls Pink Stuff. It is delicious! I get cravings for it around the holidays, but I haven’t made it recently due to my daughter’s allergy to food dyes. So, I began a quest to come up with a version that used [...]
As if we needed one more green dish for St. Patrick’s Day, right? Well, at least this one is super duper healthy and fits in with the “green” theme for Saturday. My kids love a big fruit salad. If you have little kids, have you seen that short sketch on Nick Jr (I think) [...]
Most of the recipes on AMFT will be gluten free, dairy free, and egg free due to my allergies starting in Jan 2013; however, you will find archives of my traditional recipes too. [Wanna Know More …]
