Salted Caramel Monster Cookies

Happy Sunday, friends!

We celebrate our hospital’s Dietetic Internship this past week (congratulations, graduates!) and nothing says party like these Salted Caramel Monster Cookies!

I got the idea for these cookies when I went to a socially distant dinner/movie night in a friend’s backyard. My friend Evi planned out the cutest popcorn bar and my friend Toni brought along movie candy – Milk Duds + hot salty popcorn for life! Toni upped the ante by bringing CARAMEL M&M candies… world changed.

So when I wanted to make some cookies this weekend to bring to work, I thought about those Caramel M&Ms and how I could work them into a cookie. And there is no more classic cookie than a Monster cookie. And these are monstorous (they are 3-4 tablespoons of dough each!).

Celebrating #TacoTuesday in a big way today! Why?

Five. Five years. I cannot believe that I’ve been a dietitian for five years. As I reflect back on the past 1,825+ days, I am in awe of how I’ve grown and what I’ve accomplished. On the day I passed my RD exam, I was nine days into my brand new part-time dietitian job. Five…

Peach Jalapeño Salsa

It is late July, which means that it’s PEACH SEASON. While strawberries have my heart as one of my favorite foods (second only to my mom’s roasted chicken), peaches are probably one of my favorite fruits. I love their slightly fuzzy exterior, super sweet interior, and their versatility. While I adore eating fresh peaches by…

Austin-Style Breakfast Tacos

Hey, everyone… it’s been a minute! I’m back to proclaim one thing: I. LOVE. TACOS. And I really love breakfast tacos. Over two years ago, my sister and two friends roadtripped across the great state of Texas (ok, it was just Austin to San Antonio… but still!) and has the best time sampling all the…
