There are some interesting dessert recipes floating through the interwebs:
Black bean brownies, chickpea blondies, lentil cookies…it seems like people are putting anything in desserts these days.Read More
No Bake Granola Bar Cookies
I’m not going to lie: I love the idea of granola bars. They’re a quick and easy, go-to snack that can be made with healthy whole foods.
That being said, I am so not a fan of the whole execution of the lowly granola bar. Read More
Healthy Buckeyes
Welcome to part deux of Fooduzzi’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Week! Did you catch my EPIC popcorn recipe on Monday? To say I’m obsessed is an understatement.
That being said, I am convinced that one simply cannot have a “Chocolate Peanut Butter Week” without including the king of all chocolate peanut butter confection: Buckeyes.Read More
Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn
I know I’ve said it before, but I think I should say it again so you know just how true of a statement this is: I am a huge snacker.
Like. Huge.
Mix that with my love of tradition, and I’m completely done for.
Nutella Freezer Fudge
If you’ve been around Fooduzzi, you’ll know that I studied abroad in Italy. I was there for about three months, taking in all of the sights, sounds, and sustenance the “motherland” had to offer.
While I was there, I was lucky enough to have my family (mom, dad, brother, grandma, pap, aunt, and uncle) join me for a week-long visit. They flew into Venice, where I greeted them with open arms. We had a marvelous feast that night and slept like kings knowing that the Peduzzi clan was back together again.Read More
Summer Fruit and Candied Pecan Salad
I’m a huge sucker for traditions.
One of my favorite family traditions is putting up the Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Whilst listening to Christmas tunes and watching The Grinch that night. We do this every year. Religiously. Come hell or high water.
One year, however, I made plans with a friend to go Christmas shopping. My dad needed to utter but four words to make me instantly cancel these plans in favor of a garland and ornament-filled day: “But it’s a tradition…”Read More
Almond Joy Macaroons
Call me hipster, call me quirky…but I LOVE funky little spots that are totally off the beaten path.
As I’m writing this, I’m sipping on the BEST tea from a funky little Pittsburgh coffee shop called “Big Dog” (wanna see it? I snapped a picture on Snapchat! Follow me [fooduzzi]!) In addition to serving some of the best tea I’ve ever had, Big Dog also has an oatmeal bar. AN OATMEAL. BAR. Like, where you can go and customize your own bowl of hot steamy love. WHAT?!
I mean, you can totally do that in your own kitchen, but eating it in a zany coffee shop makes the whole breakfast experience a little more special, don’tcha think?Read More
Banana Bread Granola Bars
Let’s talk about kitchen fears, shall we?
Let me start off by saying that I lovelovelove to bake. There’s nothing more rewarding for me than handing a finely-crafted sweet treat off to a unsuspecting friend or family member on a special occasion. Birthdays, holidays, events, random days of particular kindness – I’ll literally bake for anything.Read More
