Welcome!

Blueberry skillet cake is a dessert. I rarely feature desserts but this one deserves to be on Snack Girl.

Why? It is mostly blueberries!! You can use frozen blueberries or fresh (cut the baking time by 10 minutes with fresh).

These summer squash recipes belong in your to-do list. It is time for squash.

Why?

Summer squash is so versatile! I suppose some would call it bland but it is cheap, easy to cook, and delicious. I eat it all summer long and then I switch to the winter squashes (butternut and acorn).

Roasted vegetables tacos are for Taco Tuesday. You need to change it up sometimes.

Are these tacos as easy as meat tacos? No. I mean how can you beat browning meat and adding a flavoring packet? Too easy!

Waffle iron potato cakes are a replacement for baking. You don’t need a hot oven right now.

A couple of nights ago I was cooking dinner and my husband told me not to turn on the oven. It was 90 F outside so I understood his point.

Need a strawberry oatmeal muffins recipe right about now? Of course you do.

I have been craving muffins for weeks (also cookies, cake and brownies). My kids keep baking because they are bored. Oh man, it is bad around here.

This easy iced coffee is for those of use who want to save some money. You know that you can make excellent iced coffee at home.

As the heat cranks up outside, hot coffee just seems silly. It seems that everywhere is selling you a nice cold iced coffee - gas stations, convenience stores, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts……

A cottage cheese snack can be a perfect way to make it to the next meal. But cottage cheese is so boring on its own!

What can you do with it? Toss some stuff in it! You have to love the nutritional profile of cottage cheese as it is a low calorie way to get some protein.

My grilled zucchini recipe treats this squash like a steak. Marinate, sear, and serve.

The grill seems to be used for hamburgers and hot dogs - and not enough vegetables. Vegetables are so good with a wee bit of char just like a burger.

This chia seed chocolate pudding recipe is for those who want to dip their toes in the chia seed pool. About 4 years ago, I wondered why anyone would use chia seeds for anything.

All I could think about with chia seeds was chia pets. Those cute little terracotta buggers didn’t look edible.

Low calorie cereal is easy to make. I know you want to buy it - but it tastes much better to make it.

I know that there are people out there who will take on look at this recipe and decide it isn’t low calorie. But, I would argue that it isn’t good enough to be simply low calorie -you can do that with Rice Krispies - you also need nutrition that gets you off on the right foot for your day.
