The perfect after school snack, this Apple Nachos Recipe is super easy to make! Using simple ingredients you probably already have at home you can create a fun and fresh snack that everyone will enjoy!

How to make Apple Nachos

Healthy Apple Nachos really couldn’t be easier to make, consider this post more as a guide than a recipe.

The base starts with apples… too obvious? Then I recommend a drizzle of peanut butter or your favorite nut or seed butter.

By drizzling on the nut/seed butter first it gives something for all the other toppings you choose to stick to something so they don’t just fall off the apples as you are trying to eat it.

Beyond that the rest is really like a ‘choose your own adventure’.

In the recipe I simply included what I normally add to the apple nachos. I like the combo of the granola and dried cranberries because of the different textures of the toppings. And then of course my kids love the little addition of a few mini chocolate chips (totally optional of course if you don’t want to include chocolate).

So let’s see what I include on mine and then I have a little list of what else you can include!

Wood cutting board layered with apple slices, peanut butter, granola, dried cranberries, and mini chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • Apples
  • Peanut Butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)
  • Granola 
  • Dried Cranberries or Raisins 
  • Mini Chocolate Chips
Ingredients for apple nachos sitting on a plate including apples, peanut butter, granola, dried cranberries, and mini chocolate chips.

You could also include toppings like:

  • Coconut Flakes
  • Peanuts
  • Sliced Almonds
  • Cashews
  • Blueberries
  • Sliced Bananas

Instructions

Slice the apples into flat slices or wedges. Lay the apple slices over a plate or platter. 

If you want to prepare the apples slices ahead of time and want to keep them from browning add 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice to a bowl of cold water. Submerge the apple slices in the lemon water until you are ready to use. Remove the apple slices from the water and shake off any access water.

Drizzle apple slices with peanut butter. Sprinkle the granola, dried cranberries/raisins, and chocolate chips overtop. Add more or less of any ingredients and feel free to brainstorm up your own fun toppings!

Parfait Breakfast Popsicles

July 12, 2021 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

Healthy & delicious these yogurt based popsicles are perfect for toddlers, kids, and adults alike. Packed with yogurt, fruit, and granola these Parfait Breakfast Popsicles are the perfect frozen breakfast or snack!

Yogurt Parfait Popsicles

Warm weather is for popsicles, I even believe in popsicles for breakfast! To be fair these Parfait Popsicles are equally as good for snack time as they are for breakfast, nonetheless they are delicious healthy popsicles anyone can enjoy anytime of day!

My oldest kid is not a breakfast person (the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree), so I was thinking of some fun breakfast ideas for the summertime and these breakfast popsicles totally nailed it.

Filled with fruit, yogurt, and granola with no added sugars this popsicle is basically what I would serve as a yogurt bowl option to my family in the morning just you know…frozen.

The best part is of course you can customize it to your family. You can use different fruits and granola’s for the center!

So let’s make some popsicles!

Hand holding up a popsicle stick of a parfait popsicle showing white and red layers.

Special Equipment

Yes making popsicles is waaaay easier with a popsicle mold. Of course if you don’t have one you can get creative and use paper cups and sticks to make popsicles at home.

After buying cheap plastic molds multiple times to only have them fall apart on me or not be large enough I finally bought a nicer silicone popsicle mold off of amazon for just a few more dollars and it was totally worth it. The following is the one I have that I really like, and of course there are a lot more options on Amazon or other retailers.

Ingredients

You will need the following:

  • Banana
  • Plain Yogurt
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Granola – any kind, I like a ‘classic’ flavor here best

For a complete detailed list of the ingredients continue towards the bottom of the page.

Ingredients to make parfait popsicles on a white plate including strawberries, a banana, yogurt, and granola.

Instructions

Add the peeled banana and yogurt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Divide the mixture in half, reserve half the mixture covered in the fridge for later. Divide the other half of the mixture between all the popsicle molds. Add the mold to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour. 

A collage showing the first steps of blending together the yogurt and banana and adding it to a popsicle mold.

Once the first part of the popsicle is frozen move on to the strawberry mixture. Add the strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth. Divide the blended strawberries between the popsicle molds. 

Now add about 1-2 teaspoons of the granola into the molds on top of the blended strawberries, it’s okay if some of the granola sinks into the strawberries. The amount of the granola doesn’t have to be exact during this step. Note, if you are able to add the popsicle sticks before adding the granola that works best, but some popsicle molds the top is attached you might not be able too, that is okay just add it at the end. Transfer to freezer and let freeze for 1 hour.

Lastly add the reserved half of the banana yogurt mixture evenly on top of the strawberries & granola. Make sure to add sticks to the popsicles & transfer back to the freezer and let freeze for at least one more hour or until frozen solid. Enjoy!

Tips, Tricks, & Questions

  • The popsicle mold I use (listed above) holds 10 popsicles and this recipe makes 10 popsicles that are on the smaller size, so if you have a popsicle mold that fits 8 or 12 the same amount of ingredients should work, if making more or less than that you might want to double or half the ingredients.
  • I prefer a classic granola like Bob’s Red Mill Classic Granola but feel free to use what you like, you could even use homemade granola! PLUS you can even make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free granola.
  • Feel free to use other fruits in place of the strawberries. I think this would be fantastic with blueberries, cherries, peaches, or raspberries.
  • Yes you can substitute Greek Yogurt for the Plain Yogurt, the bonus would be more protein, the negative would be it is more tart so the whole popsicle might be more tart but that is a personal preference.

Ingredients

    1. Add banana and yogurt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Divide mixture in half, reserve half the mixture in the fridge for later. Divide the other half of the mixture between all the popsicle molds. Add the mold to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.

    2. Once the first part of the popsicle is frozen move on to the strawberry mixture. Add the strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth. Divide the blended strawberries between the popsicle molds.

    3. Now add about 1-2 teaspoons of the granola into the molds on top of the blended strawberries, it’s okay if some of the granola sinks into the strawberries. The amount of the granola doesn’t have to be exact during this step.* Transfer to freezer and let freeze for 1 hour.

    4. Lastly add the reserved half of the banana yogurt mixture evenly on top of the strawberries & granola. Make sure to add sticks to the popsicles & transfer back to the freezer and let freeze for at least one more hour or until frozen solid. Enjoy!

Notes

*Note if you are able to add the popsicle sticks before adding the granola that works best BUT some popsicle molds where the top is attached you might not be able too, that is okay just add it at the end.

The popsicle mold I use (listed below) holds 10 popsicles and this recipe makes 10 popsicles that are on the smaller size, so if you have a popsicle mold that fits 8 or 12 the same amounts should work, if making more or less than that you migth want to double or half the ingredients.

Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese

December 21, 2020 by Lauren Schmidt 1 Comment

The PERFECT appetizer, three ingredients, only a few minutes, a crowd favorite… Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese. Your new go-to for delicious finger food, dates are stuffed with goat cheese then wrapped in bacon and baked into sweet, salty, and savory treat!

Bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese scattered all over a white plate and focused in on one date in the center.

Bacon Wrapped Dates

If you see me at any type of party do you know where I am? Yep you probably guessed it near the food. Party food as some sort of magical quality to it. Is it always just better because it is at a party? Maybe because most of it is just finger food? Probably

Anyways one of my favorite finger foods are these Stuffed Dates with Goat Cheese. They literally have it all they are sweet, yet savory, yet creamy, they have an amazing texture, plus when you are the one hosting so easy to make!

These work well as an appetizer for a dinner party, on a plate at a party, and even as an addition to a charcuterie board.

Plus you don’t really need any special equipment beside a baking sheet and some toothpicks! So let’s dig in on how to make these…

Ingredients

  • Dates, specifically Medjool but really any variety will do. Madjool works well due to their size and they are the most common type found in grocery stores.
  • Regular/Thin Bacon, try to skip the thick cut stuff for this recipe it doesn’t wrap around and cook as well, I note this because I normally prefer the thick cut bacon!
  • Goat Cheese, found in the specialty cheese section if you aren’t used to buying goat cheese it should come in a little log shape and is usually pretty soft and spreadable.

For a complete detailed list of the ingredients continue towards the bottom of the page.

The three ingredients need to make roast cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates.

Instructions for Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates

Begin by preheating the oven to 425ºF.

If the dates already come pitted than great! Otherwise pit the dates by slicing open and removing the pit, discard the pits.

Now carefully stuff the inside of each date with goat cheese and close the date back up. I find that a butter knife works best for doing this.

Cut the bacon strips in half. Wrap the stuffed date with a piece of the bacon. Insert a toothpick to keep the bacon wrapped in place. Transfer the wrapped date to a sheet pan.

Once all the dates are stuffed and wrapped transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake 12-15 minutes. Rest at least 5 minutes before serving, can serve warm or cooled.

Tips, Tricks, & Questions

  • For easy clean up cover the sheet pan with tin foil. 
  • Since you buy the dates by weight and not number you might have some bacon remaining.
  • These absolutely can be prepped or made ahead!
  • Some people like the addition of an almond with the goat cheese inside the date!
  • I have found that regular/thinner bacon works better than thick cut bacon for bacon covered dates.

The Easiest Dried Beef Pickle Roll Ups

October 15, 2019 by Lauren Schmidt 6 Comments

This recipe for Dried Beef Pickle Roll Ups is an easy three ingredient appetizer that every one will love, perfect for the holiday’s or family get togethers! So simple to make ahead just using baby dill pickles, cream cheese, and dried beef, make a double batch because these will disappear fast!

Dried Beef Pickle Roll Ups

Pickle rolls ups were first introduced to me when my husband and I had just started dating, his step-mom Lisa had made them and my mind was blown. 

I have always been a huge pickle person and then she went ahead and added cream cheese and dried beef, and now I have never not made these for a holiday meal. 

Incredibly simple to make, the way I learned how to make them differs slightly from what some other recipes for pickle rolls are on the internet. And I will be continuing to make them my way because I think it is easier!

First off the simplest way to make them is using BABY DILL PICKLES opposed to the larger dill pickles, this keeps the roll-ups small to begin with so you don’t have to bother cutting them into bite size pieces. Just roll and serve!

Second, the dried beef….

So Lisa happens to be from Austin, MN and for those of you who have never heard of Austin, MN there is good reason, its a small town in southern Minnesota.  BUT it also happens to be the headquarters of the well known Hormel Foods. Well wouldn’t cha know (that is Minnesotan for wouldn’t you know) I happen to think that Hormel’s version of Dried Beef is an absolute must for this recipe. Forget all of that other ham, go find actual Hormel Dried Beef, makes all the difference in this recipe! This isn’t an ad, I am just a fan.

So I consider all of those other recipes wrong, skip the large pickles and ham, make life better and easier and follow my recipe below. 

flatly of the three ingredients dried beef, baby dill pickles, and cream cheese

Pickle Roll Ups Recipe

For this recipe you will need:

  • 4 oz plain cream cheese, softened (half a package)
  • 16oz Baby Dill Pickles
  • 5 oz container Dried Beef

Start by draining all of the juice from the pickles. Pour the pickles into a bowl and use a paper towel to gently remove any access juice from the pickles. The more dry the pickles are the better the cream cheese will stick to them.

Take a small amount of cream cheese on a butterknife and spread it across one side of a piece of the dried beef. Spread enough cream cheese to evenly coat the entire side of the piece of beef.

Add a baby dill pickle to the center of the cream cheese on the dried beef and gently roll up both sides of the dried beef using the cream cheese like a ‘glue’, overlapping the beef if possible.

Repeat process until you run out of pickles. Serve whole or if you want to make smaller cut in half with a serrated knife.

Notes on Pickle Roll Ups with Dried Beef

This is one of those recipes where the amount of ingredients never quite match up, you are mostly likely to have dried beef and cream cheese leftover but this is fully dependent on the size and quantity of your pickles, which will vary by brand. 

If you have dried beef leftover you could make dried beef dip which you could also serve if you are having a party or get together.

If you are having a large crowd, you could easily get more pickles and use the whole container of cream cheese and easily make more.

Also note, If the cream cheese isn’t soft enough it will slightly tear the dried beef, so it is best to make sure the cream cheese is soft.

Can you make Pickle Roll Ups The Night Before?

Of course! 

These are so easy to make the night before you actually need them and store them in the fridge. 

In all honesty most of the time when I make these, I have finished all of my other prep for the occasion, I take my pickle roll up ingredients to the living room and make them while I watch TV!

How do I serve this Recipe for Pickle Roll Ups?

Like I said before my whole intention with this recipe is simple & easy. So I suggest just stacking them on a small plate for the appetizer table. I never bother cutting them or putting toothpicks in them, I don’t have time for that…OR…

You can get really fancy and just add them stacked up to a whole appetizer platter, may I suggest reading my post on How To Make A Sheet Pan Snack Platter! These Dried Beef Pickle Roll Ups would be a fantastic addition!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 oz plain cream cheese, softened
  • 16oz Baby Dill Pickles
  • 5 oz container dried beef*

Instructions

  1. Drain all of the juice from the pickles, and pour pickles into a bowl. Use a paper towel to gently remove any access juice from the pickles.
  2. Take a small amount of cream cheese on a butterknife and spread it across one side of a piece of the dried beef, spread enough cream cheese to evenly coat the entire side of the beef.
  3. Add a baby dill pickle to the center of the cream cheese and gently roll up both sides of the dried beef using the cream cheese like a 'glue', overlappig the beef if possible.
  4. Repeat process until you run out of pickles. Serve whole or cut in half with a serrated knife. Serve immediately or keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight.

Notes

*This is one of those recipes where the amount of ingredients never quite match up, you are mostly likely to have dried beef and cream cheese leftover.

If you are having a large crowd, you could easily get more pickles and use the whole container of cream cheese and easily make more.

The number of pickles in a jar will vary, so this recipe might make more or less than mentioned.

If the cream cheese isn't soft enough it will slightly tear the dried beef, so it is best to make sure the cream cheese is soft.

Lemon Whipped Greek Yogurt

September 17, 2019 by Lauren Schmidt 11 Comments

Whether it’s for breakfast, snack, or dessert Whipped Greek Yogurt is a seriously delicious treat! My recipe for Lemon Whipped Greek Yogurt combines healthy greek yogurt, lemon, honey, and whipping cream for a light and fluffy whipped yogurt with a hint of sweet lemon. Topped with berries this whipped greek yogurt is so good you will be licking the bottom of the bowl!

Whipped Greek Yogurt

Now there is whipped yogurt you can buy at the grocery store, but it is always filled with so much added sugar I never would buy it even though it is amazing. So I had never thought of making it at home until I saw my friend Danielle from Project Meal Plan make Homemade Whipped Greek Yogurt and I thought it was the most brilliant thing ever. 

So when my friends over at Barlean’s challenged me to make something with with their Seriously Delicious CBD Lemon Drop Hemp Oil, I instantly thought it would be the perfect match…

And guess what?

It is! (was…)

NOTE: Update in spring of 2023 Barlean’s appears to no longer carry the Lemon Drop Flavor of their CBD Hemp Oil. It was perfect in this recipe but alas we must move on...

Of course you can make this by leaving out the Lemon Drop CBD, it is still equally as delicious, I promise!

If you are looking for some added benefits and this works even if you have young children I also used Barlean’s Omega Pals Lemonade Fish Oil instead to help them get a healthy dose of Omega-3’s in for the day! This product still is available.

So how do you make Whipped Greek Yogurt?

It’s quite easy! For this recipe you will need a stand mixer or an electric handheld mixer, the mixer will do all the hard work and get the greek yogurt light and airy fast!

ingredients needed to make lemon whipped greek yogurt

To make the lemon whipped greek yogurt you will start with one whole lemon. 

Zest the lemon into bowl of stand mixer (or large bowl with handheld mixer).

Cut the lemon in half and juice half of the lemon into the bowl. The amount of juice should be roughly 2 tablespoons. Set aside other half for another use (make yourself a glass of ice cold lemon water).

Next add greek yogurt, honey, heavy whipping cream, and the lemon drop CBD into the stand mixer.

With whisk attachment start stand mixer on low for about 10 to 15 seconds to prevent too much splashing while the ingredients mix together.

Slowly turn mixer to medium-high level (8 on a kitchen-aid). Continue to whisk for several minutes until peaks start to form in the yogurt, aka until the yogurt is fluffy and airy.

Transfer your lemon whipped greek yogurt to bowls. Best served topped with a handful of fresh berries.

Easy & Healthy Chocolate Hummus

August 27, 2019 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

I figured out the trick to get the BEST Chocolate Hummus in the world, so smooth and creamy. The trick is all in the bean, and guess what its not a chickpea, its Great Northern Beans. With just 4 simple ingredients you will have amazing chocolate hummus in no time. Plus a section on what to eat with chocolate hummus, this is a dessert hummus recipe you’ll go back to again and again.

Chocolate Hummus Recipe

When I was pregnant with my second son Fred I ate chocolate hummus like it was going out of style during my first trimester. Funny enough I thought at that point I had really figured out the key to chocolate hummus, but as time would tell I didn’t, until now.

Just a few weeks ago I unlocked the trick to the best chocolate hummus ever and there is no looking back. The trick?

Great Northern Beans. 

I took a note from my Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus, thinking about the seriously smooth consistency that the great northern beans gave to the dip and I knew I had to make a chocolate version.

BEST IDEA EVER.

It came together quick. Now if you are a hummus purest, I shouldn’t technically be calling this a hummus, BUT in the dessert hummus category I feel like the rules change and so I am officially announcing this hummus. So lets take a look at these simple ingredients and how to make chocolate hummus. 

the four ingredients for chocolate hummus, great northern beans, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup

Chocolate Hummus Ingredients

First off, Great Northern Beans. Like I said above we are ditching the chickpeas or black beans that you find most dessert hummus and switching it out for the much milder Great Northern Bean.

Great Northern beans are perfect for a chocolate hummus because they are soft skin, a smooth inside, and a mild flavor which tends to take on the flavors of the dish. So if you want smooth and delicious isn’t great northern beans the obvious choice?

Now because these beans aren’t as common place as chickpeas or black beans you might be able to get away with using a navy bean instead but the skin on a navy bean might be a little tougher than that of a great northern beans. but if you are in a pinch it should work.

Next up 100% Peanut Butter. In my mind when I was developing this recipe I was thinking that peanut butter would basically be the replacement for the usual tahini. It would provide the same texture but be a better flavor for chocolate as opposed to tahini. 

I strongly recommend using 100% peanut better here because of the consistency of a natural peanut butter is very different than one with added ingredients. If you are up for making your own check out my How To Make 100% Peanut Butter post! 

Next is the cocoa powder. Regular good old baking cocoa powder works great here. And if you are feeling it I think that a dark chocolate cocoa powder would also be incredible.

To sweeten it just a little pure maple syrup plays off the rest of the flavors perfectly, along with a pinch of sea salt. That’s right a pinch of sea salt will actually make the dessert hummus taste better!

Lastly for consistency I do recommend adding a few tablespoons of water at the end.

That is it, simple right? You might even have everything you already need in your pantry!

Is Chocolate Hummus Healthy?

Yes. I mean healthy is a relative term, which means healthy means something different to everybody but in my opinion I think most people would consider this recipe of chocolate hummus healthy. 

The base of this hummus is great northern beans which are high in fiber, are an excellent source of folate, and are high in healthy minerals lie manganese. 

100% peanut butter is a much healthier option than using a processed peanut butter full of added sugars and preservatives, so if you are using a peanut butter with added sugars this will change the nutrition a bit. But peanut butter is a great source of protein!

Cocoa powder is full of natural antioxidants!

And by skipping the processed sugar and using maple syrup that is full of nutrients like calcium and potassium. Maple syrup is also has a lower glycemic making it a better option than cane sugar. 

So over all there are many attributes that would make chocolate hummus healthy!

How to make Chocolate Hummus

To start you will want to make sure that your beans are drained and rinsed really well. I love my little colander like this one for recipes like this. 

ingredients in a food processor ready to be blended into hummus

Add your great northern beans, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and dash of sea salt to a food processor.

Start the food processor. As things start to become smooth drizzle water 1 tablespoon at a time until a smooth spreadable consistency. I usually use 2 tablespoons but 3 will give it a thinner consistency.

Continue to processes until everything is smooth. Serve immediately, it is best at room temperature. 

What to eat with chocolate hummus

  • Fruit! Strawberries are the best with chocolate hummus hands down. My next fruit suggestions would be apple slices or spread it on a banana.
  • Pretzels
  • Graham Crackers
  • Sweet pita chips
  • Spread on a warm piece of toast (trust me on this one, makes the best breakfast!)
  • Spread on a rice cake and top with fruit

Turns out there is quite a bit that goes well with chocolate hummus! 😉

How to make Tropical Energy Bites

Energy bites are great because for the most part you just use common place pantry items. For the base of these bites you will need oats (old fashioned oats or quick oats work great for this), raw cashews, and pitted dates.

And then to add the tropical twist you will want unsweetened coconut flakes and Barlean’s Tangerine Omega Pals.  

You will add oats, cashews, dates, coconut flakes, and Tangerine Omega Pals to a food processor.

Easy Peanut Butter Fruit Dip Perfect for Snack Time

August 6, 2019 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

A delicious whipped peanut butter fruit dip that is only 4 ingredients which your family will devour. This yogurt fruit dip with peanut butter is a healthy option for your family to dunk all of their favorite fruits like apples, strawberries, and bananas!

Fruit Dip with Peanut Butter

This is one of those crazy easy recipes that I often forget to even share because of the pure simplicity of them. I swear that sometimes I get wrapped up in needing elaborate recipes when that isn’t even what anyone wants (including myself). So today I am sharing this incredibly simple dip that I have been making for myself and my family for quite sometime, Peanut Butter Fruit Dip!

Four of the simplest ingredients you can imagine combine to make a glorious fruit dip that is generally healthy and oh so delicious! All it takes in plain yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon. 

When the peanut butter and yogurt get combined it makes this magical fluffy whipped dip that when mixed with flavorful honey and cinnamon brings you to snack time nirvana.

So how simple is this dip? Let’s take look.

How to make Peanut Butter Dip for Fruit

To start you need 4 ingredients, and all 4 of these ingredients are what I consider kitchen staples so likely you already probably have them at home. 

  • First Peanut Butter. Not just any peanut butter but you will want 100% peanut butter, why? First off to keep this generally healthy, if you are using peanut butter with all the added oils and sugars that is going to change the nutrition of this dip extremely fast. Second it will actually change the consistency too if you are using a peanut butter full of extra stuff like preservatives. Luckily for you 100% peanut butter is getting easier to find in stores these days or what I do is make my own, it is so incredibly easy, I even have a post about it; How to Make 100% Peanut Butter. 
  • Second Plain Yogurt. You will want plain yogurt for this recipe, if you have greek yogurt it will work but both the taste and texture won’t quite be the same. Greek yogurt is a lot tangier, resulting in a tangy dip, and a lot thicker resulting in a not as light and fluffy dip. I also recommend a low-fat plain yogurt to keep it healthier. 
  • Honey. Just a tad of honey to add to the sweetness and flavor, just remember though honey shouldn’t be fed to babies under 1 years of age!
  • Ground Cinnamon. My family adores cinnamon so sometimes I will add a little more than what I noted in the recipe but that is all up to you. Cinnamon will just bring a little extra flavor note that takes this Peanut Butter Fruit Dip over the top.

So now you have all of your ingredients, this is how complicated it is to make 😉

Add yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon to a bowl. Mix together until fully combined. Serve immediately or keep in an airtight continer in the refrigerator.

Boom, SNACK TIME!

This is by far one of my favorite afternoon snacks, and you bet I will be packing this for Archie’s snack box when he starts preschool this fall. 

It seriously hits all of my boxes; healthy-ish, delicious, easy, quick.

So what goes with this fruit dip?

My favorites are the following:

  • Apples are hands down my favorite, any variety, peanut butter was already done of my favorite things to put with apples and this just ups the deliciousness
  • Strawberries are also delicious with this whipped yogurt fruit dip
  • Bananas, while it is hard to dip the bananas I recommend spreading some on top of the bananas
  • One might even suggest celery, if you are into vegetables
  • Or skip the fruits & veggies and go for some graham crackers

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled or halfed to make the amount you need.

To keep this recipe on the healthier side I recommend using low-fat plain yogurt and 100% peanut butter.

How To Make A Sheet Pan Snack Platter

January 7, 2019 by Lauren Schmidt 2 Comments

How to make a Sheet Pan Snack Platter for a hungry crowd
How to make a sheet pan snack platter with a printable shopping list

So the idea of these big gorgeous epic charcuterie boards, snack platters, and board meals are so big right now. Just scroll through Instagram or Pinterest and sure enough you will see an epic board! And don’t get me wrong I LOVE it! I am a snacker, so any type of snack platter and charcuterie make me drool. BUT have you ever seen how much those big gorgeous boards are or priced out all of those fancy nuts? If you add all of that up you are looking at spending over $100 on a appetizer/snack awfully fast. So about a year ago I decided to just start making awesome snack platters with what I already had and realistic food. And now I thought I might as well share, so this is How To Make A Sheet Pan Snack Platter. 

I am going to venture to assume that a vast majority of households already own a sheet tray/pan. If you don’t or if you could use some new ones these, Nordic Ware Baker’s Half Sheet are my favorite, I have had 3 for about 5 years now and I use them probably more than anything else in my kitchen. 

So grab your sheet pan and lets make some awesome snack platters.

Before we dig into the ingredients I have one other thing for you… A PRINTABLE SHOPPING LIST! I made you a shopping list you can print out with the basics you will need for a successful Sheet Pan Snack Platter. I have listed everything that I used in my pictures so all you have to do is print the pdf and head to the store! 🙂 So let’s take a look at these ingredients that are included on the shopping list. 

dipping into a dip on a snack platter

The Ingredients 

Aka, the snacks. So the best thing about making a sheet pan snack platter is you can fully make it you! I am going to provide you with my go-to items but you can switch it up and make it truly yours! But before we do let’s look at the basics each snack tray probably will have. 

Dip(s). You will want to include 1-2 dips that make sense with what else you are including. You can either pick a dip first and decide what dippers you will choose later or vice versa. My main point I would like to make here though is to keep it simple. My go-to is always hummus, followed by a ranch/veggie dip, or both. In other variations I have also used babaganoush, salsa, and french onion dip. A lot of what helps me make the decision is how healthy I want to make my snack platter, I like to keep them on the healthy side usually so that is why normally I use my Easy Hummus or my Healthy Yogurt Ranch Dip. Whether you make your own or you buy it from the store, start with a dip!

Vegetables. Generally the healthy part of the snack tray, and I have found that it is often the part that gets eaten the quickest. Not joking I don’t know if it has to do with dips or that at a lot of occasions where you might have a snack tray present sometimes its the only healthy option and people like that. Either way in almost every sheet pan snack platter I make I generally try to fill up half of the tray with vegetables. I almost always stick to the basic and what people love baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. Vegetables that are easy finger foods and great for dipping. I also like those vegetables because you can buy most of them pre-cut and ready to go so all you have to do it lay them out! So whether you are buying pre-cut vegetables or not I recommend sticking with the classics!

Fruits. I know I don’t have any in this example, but often time I will include them, especially if it is in season. For example I am doing this post at the beginning of January so I probably would have added orange slices or pomegranate, if it was fall I would add sliced apple, summertime probably some sliced peaches and strawberries, you get the idea. If you want to add fruit but are nervous about not having enough room just include less of something else or take something off altogether. For example leave off the tomatoes and fan out some orange slices. 

Cured Meats. People looove cured meats. Almost every time I just grab a pre-made variety pack that usually includes 3 different varieties, easy peasy done. But if you like certain things feel free to pick out what you like. For both the cured meats and cheeses I usually go with 3 different varieties, I just find this a good number where its not too many where it is overwhelming but enough that people can choose what they like. As far as presentation goes there are a few ways to make sliced meats look a little more fun. First is the classic fan, fan the meats out in a row or corner that makes it easy to grab. Second is the roll-up as I like to call it, as seen in the pictures I will thinly roll each slice and place them next to each other, making them easy to grab and a fun visual. Third, the flower-plop, which is a totally made up word but that is the best way I can describe it, this works especially well for thinner slices like prosciutto, but as pictured, you make a bowl/flower shape with the slice and place it on the sheet, this method works great as you are filling in the reminder of the sheet pan. 

Cheese. I love cheese, and so do most people. I again usually grab pre-cut snack cheese, because it is so much easier and always a variety. But again choose what you wish, and just like I mentioned previously I aim for 3 different flavors. I find that a sharp cheddar, pepper jack, and Colby jack are solid choices, but feel free to get as fancy as you want with it! As far as presentiation, cheese is best fanned and I have found that is about it, but you can at least have fun with your fanning, for example a double row, a wave, or crooked pieces are fun ways to display the cheese slices!

Lastly, Crackers. You are going to want something carb-y to place all that cheese and cured meats on. Really any crackers will work but here are my recommendations. Something somewhat neutral tasting, let the cured meats and cheeses do the talking (But if you wanted to do 2 types of cracker I would think that a flavor would be ideal for a second). Something in a sleeve, like you can see in the pictures and the video below, use a sleeved cracker to your advantage, I love using Ritz for this or Table Crackers. Leaving the sleeve of crackers intact, carefully open up the ends and the seam and gently push the crackers out into one big fan. Once the crackers are on the sheet you can fan them out, and have fun with it let the crackers curve around some of the other items! Also when I say crackers it doesn’t have to be ‘just crackers’ I have also used different kinds of chips or pretzels before, I have even used delicious bagel chips! 

And don’t forget, you can add anything else you want! Want a little something sweet? Add a little chocolate. Want to include more finger foods? Add relishes like olives and pickles. Have fun with it!

overhead shot of a sheet pan snack platter

The Method

So basically you put everything on a sheet pan 😉

But in all seriousness, it is easiest when you go in a certain order. Start by placing your dip(s), use fun bowls or I like to use my glass Pyrex that both look good and have a lid that can snap on for traveling and easy clean up! 

You will then build your dip-ables around your dip. So here is when you start piling your vegetables around your dip, it doesn’t have to 360º the dip but you’ll want those veggies near so people don’t have to continuously reach across the tray. 

Once your dip and dip-ables are in place, I add about 1/3 of my meats and cheese. I usually will fan some around the edge or next to the vegetables.

Then before you add the rest, fan out your crackers, I always like to have fun with my cracker fan because it looks so cool and takes next to no effort. 

Once your crackers are spread out fill in the rest of your meats and cheeses, use the methods I mentioned above like, fanning and rolling them up to give your sheet pan snack platter some extra pizazz! 

And if you still aren’t sure watch the quick video below in the recipe card to watch how I do it!

Lastly if you make a Sheet Pan Snack Platter, I would LOVE to see it! Tag it on Instagram at the_schmidty_wife, share it on Facebook, or even send me an email! I love it when you share with me!

TIPS & TRICKS:

• I have included a lot of tips in this post but I wanted to reiterate that it is really fun to make it your own, some great places to start are to think seasonally or come up with a ‘theme’, for example Mediterranean snack foods, or if its fall include apple slices with caramel 

• Beneath the recipe card I’ve included a collage of real life examples I’ve made, from a few nice party platters, to some I’ve just made for my family for lunch

How to make a Sheet Pan Snack Platter Recipe

dipping into a dip on a snack platter

How to make a snack platter on a sheet pan

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Container of Dip, like hummus or ranch
  • Broccoli, cut into florets
  • Cauliflower, cut into florets
  • Baby Carrots
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Crackers, like Ritz or Table Crackers
  • 3 varieties snack cheese, sliced
  • 3 varieties cured meats, sliced
  • Anything else to make it your own

Instructions

Start by placing your dip(s) on the sheet pan, use fun bowls or I like to use my glass Pyrex that both look good and have a lid that can snap on for traveling and easy clean up! 

Then build your dip-ables around your dip. So start piling your vegetables around your dip, it doesn't have to go 360º around the dip but you'll want those veggies near the dip so people don't have to continuously reach across the tray. 

Once your dip and dip-ables are in place, Add about 1/3 of the meats and cheese. I usually will fan some around the edge or next to the vegetables. You can also roll up the meats, or flower them to make the presentation look better.

Before you add the rest of the meat and cheeses, fan out your crackers, I always like to have fun with my cracker fan because it looks so cool and takes next to no effort. If you are using sleeved crackers it is easiest to gently open up the wrapping but leave them in the sleeve, then gently push them out onto the platter so they stay together, then you can fan them out.

Once your crackers are spread out fill in the rest of your meats and cheeses, use the methods I mentioned above like, fanning and rolling them up to give your sheet pan snack platter some extra pizazz! 

Serve immediately or cover with tin foil or plastic wrap until ready to serve (if making a while ahead of time you'll want to refrigerate the sheet pan).

Notes

If adding extras, like fruits, nuts, or chocolate I would suggest placing those after the vegetables and dip, alternating with the meats, cheese, and crackers.

Healthy Yogurt Ranch Dip

December 18, 2018 by Lauren Schmidt 12 Comments

Simple and easy Healthy Yogurt Ranch Dip is a great alternative to fatty ranch dressing, perfect for dipping vegetables and adding to your favorite foods!

We all know eating vegetables is like the best thing for us, pretty sure every single diet can agree on that, but sometimes doesn’t it seem so dang hard! I know for my kids and I am sure most other kids (not to mention also most adults) love to dunk their veggies into delicious dips and sauces. Well turns out a lot of those dips and sauces aren’t so great for you! So in the quest for healthier snacking I have made this delicious Healthy Yogurt Ranch Dip.

If we take a look at the ever so loved brand of Ranch Dressing you’ll see inside one serving, which is 2 tablespoons is 145 calories but the worst part is in those 2 tablespoons is 23% of your recommended fat intake (and most of it not being the good kind), plus it is loaded with sodium, and has basically no vitamins or real nutrients.

This Healthy Yogurt Ranch Dip on the other hand is under half the calories! For a serving of 2 tablespoons this comes in at 62 calories! There is also a lot less fat, a lot less sodium, and all of the health benefits of yogurt like protein and nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium, and probiotics! 

So which would you chose for you and your families snack eating habits?!?

As I am sure you all said ‘HEALTHY YOGURT RANCH DIP PLEASE’ lets take a look at what makes this dip so fabulous!

The Ingredients 

Yogurt! In this recipe I use good old plain low-fat yogurt. A absolute staple in my fridge. Now you could use greek yogurt if you really wanted to but here is why I don’t, FLAVOR (and a little bit texture)! If you haven’t taken the time to really realize the difference between greek and plain yogurts let me fill you in. As far as texture goes plain yogurt is much much creamier, while greek yogurt is a lot more dense, almost like sour cream. And as far as flavor greek yogurt is a lot more tangy while plain yogurt has a more smooth and subtle taste. So even though greek yogurt might contain a bit more protein I choose flavor and texture over that because after all they are both healthy options and I want this to taste the best it can!

Talking taste, Mayonnaise. There is a bit of mayonnaise in this dip, purely for flavor, if you really want that delicious ranch dip you are going to need a little mayo. I tried to balance between flavor while using as little as I could and I ended up at 3 tablespoons. I like to use olive oil mayo or avocado oil mayo, and to lighten it up even more you could use light mayo! 

Dried Parsley. Parsley is the main herb that gives ranch its flavor, so we will use a whole tablespoon of dried parsley. 

And then the supporting cast of dried herbs and spices. Dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

The Method

Throw it all in a bowl and mix together! So easy a kid could do it. Literally, Archie can make this and he is 3!

Actually in all seriousness this is a great recipe to get your little kids into the kitchen with you. It’s simple, so gather all of your ingredients and have them help you measure and put it into the bowl. Let them stir and then be ready with veggies for them to dip because they will be excited to try something they made themselves!

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus

May 16, 2018 by Lauren Schmidt 2 Comments

Delicious and oh so creamy White Bean Hummus with Roasted Garlic. This hummus is packed full of flavor, perfect for dipping pitas and all sorts of veggies!

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus - full of flavor this white bean hummus is extremely creamy and easy to make using just 5 ingredients

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus

I feel like I have so much to talk about today. So first and foremost, this super creamy and mega delicious Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus. Secondly I am going to chit chat about my recent trip to The Everything Food Conference I just got back from. Both of these things are life changing for me and here is why:

We will start with the food, because this is a food blog.

So my family and I are serious lovers of hummus. My toddler seriously eats it like an animal, he starts with carrot sticks but then ends up getting some on his fingers and before you know it he is scooping the hummus with his whole hand and stuffing his mouth in fistfuls. The best part about this is that I equally love hummus so I am sitting there being a greedy mommy trying to eat as much as I can before he starts hand scooping it into his mouth, and then there is never any left for dad besides a little residue on the sides that he has to scrape out with a carrot stick.

So now that you know how hummus crazy we are I will say I never thought I would like a hummus more then I would classic easy hummus. BUT YOU GUYS THIS HUMMUS IS AMAZING!

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus is crazy smooth & silky and full of flavor. Although traditional hummus is made with chickpeas, which yes is delicious they can be a bit hard for a bean so the hummus doesn’t necessarily come out super smooth every time. Great Northern Beans (what this recipe calls for) are super soft so they get blended into a really silky hummus. Because of the consistency of the white beans I was able to make some changes from my traditional easy hummus I make.

Less oil! Because these beans are so smooth I use half of the olive oil that I would otherwise use when making a hummus, and while olive oil is great halving the oil brings down the calories big time.

Less tahini! To me tahini has a super powerful taste, and because the white beans have a little bit more subtle flavor, I was able to reduce the tahini and it still be absolutely delicious!

Speaking of delicious, lets talk our main flavor component, Roasted Garlic. Garlic when raw tends to be a bit strong and pungent, roasted garlic on the other hand becomes smooth and super flavorful without being over powering. And yes you truely do want a whole head in this hummus, because like I just stated above the roasted garlic becomes a more subtle flavor so your hummus won’t be over powering.

So how did I create this hummus when I was such a fan of classic hummus?

I was out of chickpeas! I wanted to bring some vegetables and hummus to a bbq cookout because I knew that menu was going to be meat heavy. (I am such a mom, worrying that everyone wouldn’t get their fix of vegetables). It was about 15 minutes before it was time to go when I looked into my pantry and realized no chickpeas. I hesitated for a split second and went straight for a can of Great Northern Beans. I had used black beans to make dessert hummus before so I figured that the Great Northern Beans should work perfectly.

I followed how I would have normally made hummus (see my Easy Hummus recipe). After I immediately fell in love with the creaminess of this hummus I knew I had to tweak this recipe to perfection. So here is the final version. Just 5 simple ingredients I hope that you get addicted to this Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus as much as my family has!

Everything Food Conference

Alright so taking a sharp turn into the Everything Food Conference. Last week I had the chance to head out the Utah to attended a conference thrown by food bloggers for food bloggers. And you guys it was an eye opening dare I say life changing experience.

I learned so much I thought my brain was going to explode and I made so many connections that dare I say life long friendships were formed. I am already counting down the days until next year.

I am so excited to take so much of what I learned back to the blog because I want to make it the best I can for you guys, my readers.

I love everything about this blog and I am so passionate about it and I am working on ways to make sure every bit of that passion comes across to you.

I was overwhelmed at the fact that I found ‘my people’, although I have always been involved with so much throughout my life I finally feel like I found were I belong. Meeting over 500 other people who were passionate about their recipes, and what they have created, and their businesses was a magical feeling. I am absolutely blessed that I was able to discover that feeling.

So if you are a fellow food blogger check it out for next year. If you are a fellow human and haven’t had a chance to experience that feeling yet, I would like to give you a little nudge and suggest that would find that feeling because it is absolutely euphoric.

TIPS & TRICKS:

• you can make the roasted garlic ahead of time, and even store it in the fridge until you are ready to use it, I like to make a couple of heads at a time and store them in the fridge until I’m ready to use them

• my favorite thing to dip in roasted garlic white bean hummus is carrots

Yield: 8 servings

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus Recipe

Roasted Garlic White Bean Hummus is extremely creamy and easy to make using just 5 ingredients

smooth hummus made with freshly roasted garlic and great northern beans

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil (for roasting the garlic)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the hummus)
  • 1 15 ounce can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

To Roast The Garlic:

  1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
  2. Take the paper like outer layers off the head of garlic. Carefully use a knife to cut the top 1/4-1/2 inch of the head of garlic off, opening up the tops of each clove so that the cloves are exposed slightly. Make sure to keep each clove attached at the root. 
  3. Transfer garlic to a piece of tin foil, drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the open cloves.
  4. Wrap the garlic head in the foil.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until garlic is soft and aromatic. Open up the foil and let the garlic cool until you can handle it. 

To Make The Hummus:

  1. Add the beans, tahini, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil to a food processor (or blender). Squeeze all of the cloves from the roasted garlic into the food processor.
  2. Start blending, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water to the processor while the machine is on to make smooth, to your liking. (I almost always add 2 tablespoons).
  3. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to a week.

Restaurant Style Salsa with Fresh Tomatoes

I am an absolute salsa & chips fiend. If there are salsa & chips present chances are those salsa & chips are already in my mouth. I remember growing up I would polish off a whole jar of salsa with chips as an after school snack, I am not just saying a few times like this was a regular occurrence. Oh to have that metabolism still… To this day it is still one of my go to snacks. So I set out to create a Fresh Restaurant Style Salsa.

There are a lot of salsa recipes out there, but so many of them feature canned tomatoes. I am not saying that those salsas are bad, I would still eat it all but I wanted fresh. So I played with the different fresh ingredients until I found the perfect combination of a Fresh Restaurant Style Salsa.

This salsa recipe is made with tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, & salt. These fresh ingredients are blended together in a food processor to make the perfect Fresh Restaurant Style Salsa.

You can also tryout some of these other awesome salsa recipes like Black Bean Avocado Salsa or Chipotle Corn Salsa.

How to Make Homemade Salsa in the Food Processor

For this recipe you will need fresh:

  • Roma Tomatoes
  • Garlic
  • Jalapeños
  • Cilantro
  • Lime juice
  • Salt
  • Onion
ingredients needed to make fresh salsa in the food processor laid out on a table

Easy enough ingredients right? And the best part is that making the actual salsa is just as simple as the list of ingredients. 

You will first prep everything for the food processor. Quarter cut the tomatoes. Half the jalapeños and remove the insides (for a spicier salsa leave the seed and white insides). And roughly chop the onion.

Add everything to a food processor. Processes about 30 seconds until smooth.

Taste check, make sure salt, cilantro, and spice levels are good and adjust as necessary. Best served chilled.

tips, tricks and questions

This salsa can definitely be personalized, add extra cilantro if you love that flavor, or extra jalapeños if you love it spicy.

While the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the actual amount you may use can vary greatly on your personal preference and what type of chips you are using (some will be a lot saltier than others). So start at 1/2 teaspoon and work your way up if you like it more salty.

If you are having trouble balancing the acidity out or it seems a bit bitter and a little bit of sugar, about ½ to 1 teaspoon.

  2. Add everything to a food processor. Processes about 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Taste check, make sure salt, cilantro, and spice levels are good and adjust as necessary. Best served chilled.

Original recipe asked for 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar, after reviewing the recipe I am making this optional, add in a pinch of sugar if the salsa seems too bitter.

Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Hummus Quesadillas with Feta and Vegetables

March 28, 2017 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

Ever since becoming a stay at home mom/food blogger Archie and I’s lunches have become quite interesting to say the least. Most days we are eating leftovers or the ever so easy and classic bacon & eggs, and then there is our favorite, quesadillas. We both love all sort of quesadillas, and I love how easy they always are to make. Our newest obsession in the world of quesadillas must be shared, Hummus Quesadillas with Feta and Vegetables.

Hummus Quesadillas with Feta and Vegetables is full of healthiness & goodness everyone wants in a quick lunch/snack.

  • Hummus, especially homemade hummus is full of protein and fiber to keep you nice and full, making it an excellent vegetarian option
  • Feta, mostly for deliciousness
  • Carrots and Zucchini, two vegetables full of healthy vitamins such as carrots being packed full of Vitamin A and zucchini being full of Vitamin C

You can also feel free to add different/more veggies to your liking, although I wouldn’t recommend too many otherwise your quesadilla might get a little watery and seem under cooked if there are too many veggies. If you have the time and energy these quesadillas are super tasty if you take 3-4 minutes to grill up the veggies before putting them into the quesadilla, both ways are great.

For this recipe I always use my Easy Hummus recipe, mostly because Archie loves helping me make it. He gets out his little stool and throws the garlic cloves into the food processor and sprinkles in the cumin, it’s adorable. But if you don’t have an eager toddler to help you you can always use a fun flavored hummus or store bought hummus.

These Hummus Quesadillas with Feta and Vegetables are so full of healthy food and so easy to make its hard to figure out a reason not to make them!

TIPS & TRICKS:

  • Use  these quesadillas as a chance to ‘meal prep’ your snacks, as you are making these cut up extra carrots and other veggies as well as make a little extra hummus, this means an easy ready to go snack!
  • Feel free to play with the variations of this, I have a feeling these would be phenomenal with roasted red pepper hummus
  • Be sure to use a nonstick skillet and DO NOT oil your pan, if you don’t have a nonstick skillet yet, trust me they are the best and well worth the buy. I have Rachel Ray’s cookware set that I use and I simply love them, you can buy them as a set or  pans on their own:

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  3. Sprinkle feta cheese crumbles on top of the hummus to your taste, I usually do a heaping tablespoons worth.
  4. On one half of your tortilla place a small handful of the carrots and a small handful of the zucchini.
  5. Carefully place the loaded tortilla into the hot skillet, place lid on.
  6. Cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom of the tortilla starts to brown (use a spatula to check).
  7. Once the tortilla is browned to your liking carefully fold the non vegetable side in half on top of the veggies. Use the spatula to gently press the quesadilla together.
  8. Slide the quesadilla onto a plate, let it rest for about 1 minute and then cut and serve.
  9. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Honey Broiled Grapefruit

February 10, 2017 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

On Saturday mornings my husband takes our son to swim classes, leaving me at home all alone and it is glorious! It gives me a chance to sit down and drink an actual hot cup of coffee or tea, get some work done, and enjoy a breakfast that I want to enjoy. So lately on these Saturday mornings I have been playing around with grapefruit, and I have finally perfected my Honey Broiled Grapefruit.

Grapefruit are one of my favorite fruits because of the memories associated with them. Growing up mostly every winter my family would make the trip from Minnesota to Florida to visit my grandparents. These were glorious vacations we traded the snow and subzero temperatures for sandy beaches and swimming pools. These vacations trigger a lot of food associations for me, southern style barbecue, fresh seafood, the most delicious citrus flavored soft-serve ice cream (a chocolate and lime soft serve swirl that will leave you dreaming about it for years to follow), and of course fresh citrus fruits right off the tree! Just thinking about how juicy and delicious those fresh grapefruits are literally give me chills, so freaking juicy! Growing up I always ate my grapefruit just cut in half and scooped it up with a spoon, and up until recently I always ate it the same way.

Recently I had gotten a batch of grapefruit that honestly wasn’t all that great, it wasn’t bad but not great, it had me wishing that I could get freshly picked grapefruit in New Hampshire, big dreams I guess. So I wanted a way to make it tastier, I had read about broiling so I decided to give it a try. So throughout the past few weeks I have been trying to figure out the best way to broil grapefruit for optimal flavor and it turns out less is more. I tried brown sugar, honey turned out waaay better, I tried getting really fancy with it, turns out just a few sprinkles of a few spices worked best. So in my final rendition of the Honey Broiled Grapefruit, the grapefruit are drizzled with honey, a pinch of sea salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a small sprig of fresh rosemary. The grapefruit are simply broiled in the oven until done, and voila you have a delicious, juicy, and flavorful grapefruit.

Sweet & Spicy Candied Almonds

November 22, 2016 by Lauren Schmidt 1 Comment

With only 6 simple ingredients this Sweet and Spicy Nuts Recipe is the perfect snack, addition to a charcuterie board, or even gift during the holiday season and beyond. Made in as little as 15 minutes this Spicy Candied Almonds recipe uses maple syrup and no refined sugars making it a snack you can feel good about! 

This post was updated November 13, 2019 to update the method/recipe, more tips, and updated photographs. 

Spicy Candied Almonds

First off let’s not confuse these Sweet & Spicy Candied Nuts with Spiced Nuts. 

These little babies have a little punch of heat to them making them absolutely irresistible, where spiced nuts are more a mixture of delicious warm holiday spices. Both delicious but we are going for spicy here!

Spicy but not too spicy, plus you can adjust the heat on them by using more or less cayenne pepper. My 1 ½ year old liked these but my 4 year old found them too spicy. 

close up of candied almonds on a pan

So a few years back I developed this recipes for two reasons:

  1. There are always sooo many sweet treats around the holiday season I felt I needed a little spice to even things out
  2. Again so many sweets during the holiday I wanted to make these a little ‘lighter’ so I ditched the refined sugar and went with maple syrup to sweeten these candied almonds so I would feel a little less guilty. (Unless you accidentally eat the whole batch on the sheet tray before they even make it to the container)

So this is why I made a Sweet yet Spicy Candied Almond.

Perfect for so many occasions. You can make them just for a snack. They are a great addition to a charcuterie board. Or wrap them in cellophane or in a jar with a ribbon and give them out as gifts! 

Plus this method and recipe doesn’t have to stop at just almonds, you could use any nuts here like pecans, cashews, or even mixed nuts!

jar overflowing with spicy candied almonds

What you need for this Spicy Candied Nuts Recipe

For this recipe you will need just a few things you probably already have at your house:

  • raw almonds
  • coconut oil
  • maple syrup
  • cayenne powder
  • ground cinnamon
  • salt
  • And water
simple ingredients needed to make spicy candied almonds, raw almonds, cinnamon, cayenne, oil, maple syrup, and salt

As far as supplies you will need a small to medium sized pot, a rubber spatula, and a baking sheet lined with either parchment or waxed paper. 

The Method

So confession time, I originally use to bake this recipe but it burned sooo easily, even for me! 

So I put on my thinking cap and decided to convert the original recipe to a stovetop version, much like you would find at a Christmas Market. 

And it works soooo much better.

So what you will do is start by adding everything except the almonds to a pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil.

Add almonds and continue boiling over medium heat. 

Stir occasionally at the beginning (the first 5 minutes or so). As the water begins to evaporate and the almonds begin to stick together you will want to begin stirring more frequently as not to burn the maple syrup or the nuts. 

You will continue to boil and stir for about 15 minutes until the almonds are sticking together and all of the water is evaporated. Note you might still find a little oil that did not get absorbed at the bottom of the pot, that is okay.

Carefully transfer the sticky nuts to the lined baking sheet. (If you do have a little unabsorbed oil, try to leave it in the pot). Carefully push the nuts to a single layer with the spatula. 

Let cool completely and then enjoy! Keep in an airtight container for storage.

From the Original Post…

With the holiday season quickly approaching us, I start to think about all of the fun parties and get togethers that happen in the upcoming month. Every week another gathering with friends, family, and co-workers, always something fun going on! With this season of many parties it is easy to get carried away with delicious finger foods, appetizers, cookies, and good hearty meals. Not that I don’t love all of this food sometimes it is nice to have lighter and healthier versions of all of these delicious treats. So today I am sharing a ‘healthier’ version of one of my favorite holiday finger foods, spiced nuts… Sweet & Spicy Candied Almonds to be exact!

These Sweet & Spicy Candied Almonds are full of flavor and crunchiness just as all good spiced nuts are but are made with natural sweeteners! Subbing out sugar with maple syrup leaves these nuts sweet but not overpowering, and to even out the sweetness a mixture of chili powder, cayenne, and cinnamon is added. These almonds come out with the perfect balance of sweet and spiciness!

These candied almonds couldn’t be easier to put together making it the perfect sharing food, whether it is for your own get together or to bring as a gift to a friends house! Preparation is as easy as placing coconut oil, maple syrup, and the spices into a saucepan and boiling into a delicious candy mixture. Into the candy mixture you will add the almonds, and then place on a sheet to bake! Wait to cool and break into clusters. Bring to a gathering to share and watch everyone dig into your lightened up candied almonds with joy! This mixture and baking method wouldn’t have to be limited to just almonds, any nut or nut mixture would be just as amazing. This would also serve as a great present, add to a jar and tie with a ribbon! Whatever you do with these almonds, you won’t be disappointed. 

Easy Hummus

November 15, 2016 by Lauren Schmidt Leave a Comment

Easy Hummus is a staple in our house, not only because it is an amazing snack but because we eat so many Mediterranean inspired meals that it always pays to have some made. Most importantly my son loves hummus, so who am I to deny him a healthy snack. Hummus really is so versatile, it can be a great snack, side dish, dressing/sauce, and not going to lie I have had it as a main dish dinner many times before. And the best part of hummus is it is so stinking easy to make.

Easy Hummus

I will say I do love the flavor options that a lot of grocery stores have these days when it comes to hummus. There are fun flavors everyone love such as roasted red pepper, extra garlic, and there are the crazy ones, like chocolate dessert hummus!?! Like what? Have you guys tried that stuff yet? I haven’t, for some reason I just can’t comprehend how a dessert hummus would satisfy an urge for chocolate or a sweet tooth (hello have you heard of brownies?), but to each there own… moving on. As cool as some of the hummus flavors are nothing is as great as homemade classic hummus. If you are looking for a classic flavor homemade is always the way to go, so bring on the Easy Hummus.

So this is how easy it is to make hummus: add ingredients to food processor, blend until smooth, eat. So simple, enjoy as a snack with veggies or pita chips or use in your favorite Mediterranean recipes like my Chickpea Shawarma Buddha Bowl. My son absolutely loves hummus on a piece of toast for a great afternoon snack.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14oz) of chickpeas, drained
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
  • Optional Garnishes, such as olive oil, toasted sesame seeds, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, etc.

Instructions

  1. Add chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic to food processor (or a powerful blender).
  2. Process on high for 1-2 minutes, check consistency of hummus. At this point if your hummus is too thick go ahead and add your water (I almost always add the water, otherwise it doesn't get quiet as smooth). Scrape down the sides using a rubber spatula. Continue to process the hummus on high for another 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  3. At this point you can serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container and will keep good for up to a week. Serve hummus with garnishes if preferred.
