Treat yourself right! Two crave-worthy desserts made with nourishing ingredients: Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt Bites and PB&J Pops. In my house, everyone screams for cookie dough ice cream. I mean, really, is there anything better than sweet, creamy ice cream laden with chewy bits of cookie dough goodness?!? Here, I've whipped up an easy version we can all feel good about enjoying any day of the week. This spin is a real winner because prep is super simple (no ice cream machine required, no churning needed), and each bite is perfectly portioned, light on calories and packed with protein. Oh, and they're totally scrumptious. Scoop, there it is!

Stop, drop and roll — I’ve whipped up two tasty Vietnamese-style summer rolls to enjoy! If you’re wondering the difference between a spring roll and summer roll, here’s the deal: The summer spin is served cold (no need to heat up the kitchen in the warmer months) whereas the spring version is cooked. Also, the summer roll uses rice flour-based paper, while spring rolls use dough. Different sauces can really make your rolls rock, so feel free to drizzle, dip or completely dunk — you’re the boss of your sauce.

Enjoy next-level burgers, tacos, sandwiches and salads with these tasty toppers. No matter what direction you decide to go in, all paths lead to greatness. There’s no wrong turn here!. Corn Salsa. In this version of salsa, I’ve added fresh grilled corn, sweet and caramelized, to level up the...

Today's forecast calls for fruity salads bursting with flavor! First, dive into a scrumptious grilled peach-pecan salad complete with red wine vinaigrette, avocado and feta. Next, get hungry for a grilled pineapple salad filled with juicy sweetness and tossed in a creamy peanut dressing. It’s the thrill of the grill with these two mouthwatering creations. Sear the day … and your fruit, too.

It’s pizza time! I’ve cooked up two palate-pleasing pies and the only thing you have to do is decide which one to dig into first. I know — it’s a real toss-up. First, I have a breakfast pizza … because what better way to start your day than with a slice of heaven? Then, there’s a BLT pizza that features creamy ranch, crunchy bacon, crispy lettuce and juicy tomato. You definitely want a pizza this!

Attention Mother's Day home chefs: These recipes are terrific options if you're looking to shower someone you love with Mother's Day yumminess — whether she prefers sweet, savory … or spiked, like me.

Fight fatigue with flavorsome fare. Keep these two energizing recipes on midday slump standby: Chocolate Energy Muffins and Mocha Frappé. These nutrient-packed, chocolate muffins will keep you energized every bite of the way! They offer a balance of protein and fiber for sustained energy, plus the espresso adds a hit of caffeine and a subtle mocha flavor for the ultimate power-up. If you don't have espresso on hand, you can use instant coffee instead; just be sure it's finely ground into a powder. While 1 to 2 tablespoons is my recommended amount, you can adjust depending upon how much (or less) caffeine you're looking to add. You can also choose to omit the espresso entirely if you're caffeine-sensitive or prefer to make these kid-friendly.

Dress to impress … your salad, that is! Not only do flavorful dressings make eating your greens that much easier, but they may also allow for better absorption of the fat-soluble nutrients found in your veggie assortment. Lettuce indulge!. Green Goddess. This green is the queen! It's a cinch...

Celebrate Mother Earth with these eco-friendly eats.
