I can’t decide if this is an appetizer or a dessert. I also can’t decide which summer party to bring these too. And I super can’t decide whether or not to tell you the truth about how many of them I ate. (Hint: Pretty darn close to all of them.)

Do you remember when hummus went mainstream? Or even better, do you remember a time before hummus was mainstream? I do. I can’t remember how old I am or what year it was, but I do vividly remember standing in my parent’s kitchen, in front of the side-by-side with the refrigerator door open, and crinkling up my nose. What is that? I’m guessing it was Sabra brand because Sabra is synonymous with hummus these days. I’m not saying definitively that they were the first to sell their hummus on grocery store shelves, but I’d be willing to wager.

7-Layer Sheet Pan Nachos

I’ve lightened up these easy 7-Layer Sheet Pan Nachos by using baked tortilla chips, reduced fat cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), and a ton of fresh veggies. This recipe is super versatile and if you prefer to use black beans or to add chicken, ground beef, extra cheese, or different veggies. I say go for it! I do recommend always serving with margaritas.

Kick it up a notch with Buffalo Tuna Salad. Only 5 minutes to a protein-packed, low carb, gluten free, sugar free lunch or snack.

I feel almost silly for posting about Buffalo Tuna Salad because it really isn’t a recipe. It’s just something I threw together and the tuna is my pantry and Wham! I tasted it and was like… dang — that is good and why isn’t the rest of the world making Buffalo Tuna Salad? They just don’t know. They just don’t know. And obviously the responsibility for getting the word out falls to me.

Seeded Quinoa Cheese Crisps

March 16, 2017 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 13 Comments

I tried to hide Seeded Quinoa Cheese Crisps in the back of my pantry so that I could pull them out one-by-one when I was having the crispy, crunchy, cheesy, salty, toasty cravings. But now I’m sitting here with the whole batch in front of me (what’s left of it anyway) just crisping and crunching away.
