For a light and fresh meal, throw together this healthy chopped cabbage salad filled with flavors like ginger and sesame. Fresh ginger is hands-down one of my favorite flavors in cooking. I never keep it on hand, though, so I always have to make it a point in my meal planning to pick some up…

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
Pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavors take the spotlight in this festive dip, with cream cheese and Cool Whip creating the creamy base. Five years ago (almost to the day) I shared this recipe with the world. Pumpkin and cream cheese blended together in a decadent, creamy dip. It is seriously so addicting. I’ve made it…
October Favorites
October is such a glorious time of year. It’s never occurred to me how much I love this month until recently. Fall is in full swing, and the year is winding down in a finale of holidays. So much goodness! For a look at some of my latest discoveries from this past month, check out…
Greek Yogurt Funfetti Cookies
For a sweet and colorful treat, make this funfetti cookie recipe that uses Greek yogurt for a slightly less sinful cookie that’s still perfectly soft and chewy.

My Thoughts on Ashley Lane Fitness

Baked Salmon with Lemon, Garlic & Butter Sauce
Transform your typical baked salmon with this flavorful butter sauce packed with fresh lemon juice and garlic. So I’ve been trying to do this thing lately where I eat fish more than once a month.

The Dirty Dozen: Top Produce to Buy Organic
Do you buy organic produce? Or do you more so just not worry about it but once in awhile wonder if you should worry about it? The latter is my life. I don’t usually go for organic foods because I just want to live my life without stressing about it—plus, the debate of buying organic…
Cajun Roasted Chickpeas
These Cajun-inspired roasted chickpeas make for the perfect crunchy and salty snack, crouton alternative, or addition to trail mix. We’ve been going through so many cans of garbanzo beans lately because I’ve been roasting them about once a week for the past month. As a super quick, throw-together snack, I just started sprinkling creole seasoning…
