Whipped Feta Dip

This Whipped Feta Dip combines feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon, and dill to create a tasty and simple appetizer.

Whipped Feta Dip

With only a handful of ingredients and in just a few minutes, this is a greater- than-the-sum-of-its-parts dip – perfect to have up your sleeve for last-minute hosting or potlucks. The feta whips up light and airy in the food processor, making a refreshing dip for pita bread, chips, or crudites. It’s also great with roasted veggies or as a sandwich spread. More healthy feta cheese recipes are this Greek 7-Layer Dip, Asparagus and Feta Tartlets, and Chopped Feta Salad.

Spinach Dip Stuffed Mushrooms

If you love spinach dip and stuffed mushrooms, you’ll love these easy Spinach Dip Stuffed Mushrooms, a delicious hot appetizer!

Spinach Dip Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms and hot spinach dip are quintessential party appetizers.  Both are delicious crowd pleasers so combining the two into one just seemed natural. The stuffing is made with classic spinach dip ingredients like frozen chopped spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, scallions, garlic and sour cream. They are packed with flavor with minimal prep and they are the perfect addition to your holiday table, are vegetarian and can easily be made gluten-free. Each serving (3 medium stuffed mushrooms) contains 105 calories and 7 grams of protein. For more stuffed mushroom recipes try my Stuffed Mushrooms with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage and Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms. And if you want more dips so all my dip recipes here.

Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats

Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats made with quick steel cut oats, berries, bananas, maple syrup, and nuts are an easy, high-fiber breakfast!

Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats

The slow cooker is a great vessel for making oatmeal for brunch, meal prep, or feeding a crowd. I load up the oats with lots of fruit and a little maple syrup to sweeten them and top them with chopped nuts. I tested this recipe with quick- cooking steel cut oats, which I loved in these savory oats. You can also make Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats.

Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

These Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are the perfect combination of a classic chocolate chip cookie and a hearty oatmeal cookie, also flourless and gluten-free.

Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

These cookies are a healthier alternative to traditional cookies, as they are made with almond flour and oats instead of all-purpose flour. With a soft and chewy texture, they are a perfect combination of a chocolate chip cookie and an oatmeal cookie. Plus, they are flourless, making them a great option for those following a gluten-free diet. If you use extra virgin coconut oil, they will have a hint of coconut in the flavor. You can use refined coconut oil if you don’t prefer the taste of coconut.

This cheesy veggie stromboli is stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, and mozzarella cheese. It’s a little messy, so prepare to get your hands dirty!

Veggie Stromboli

Lots of you have been asking me for more meatless dishes, so I was excited to create this Mushroom and Spinach Stromboli. Stromboli is basically a stuffed pizza filled with whatever your heart desires. Some add meat and cheese, but I prefer using healthier fillings, like veggies. They are eaten hot and can be served as a main dish or an appetizer to share with friends. It’s perfect for parties and gatherings you want to eat appetizers for dinner. For one with meat, you’ll love this sausage and pepper stromboli.
