Easy Basil Pesto Hummus
I love snacks, like I regularly make meals out of foods that most consider to be “snack food” and I’m not sorry about it even a little bit. In particular, I’m a dip-a-holic.. guac, salsa, any type of hummus you can dream up, I’m in! We all already know how I feel about pesto (which is, I love it) and I’ve shared one of my favorite hummus recipes with you so when I found myself with an abundance of basil I thought it was time to combine the two into this Easy Basil Pesto Hummus. I love this recipe for several reasons.. one, it’s snack food! But also, the pesto flavor isn’t so overwhelming that you forget it’s hummus and the texture is dreamy smooth so it goes great on anything. This would even be amazing smeared on a sandwich, and now all I can think about is why I didn’t think of that sooner.. like before I devoured all it. Oh well, sounds like a great reason to make some more!

Orange Cinnamon Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

THE Baked Brownie
This isn't just a regular brownie, this is THE brownie, you may have heard of it before but if not it is claimed to be the perfect classic brownie, and I agree. In my humble opinion brownies don't need any crazy mix ins to make them special, and they certainly don't...
