Are you getting tired of that oatmeal breakfast, or the green bean salad you always pack for lunch? How about making a delicious sandwich instead?

I know what you’re thinking now; “Oh, but sandwiches are not very healthy, are they?” Well, they sure can be! Especially if you follow this recipe. Avocado and tomato, with a bit of mozzarella in between. Healthy food doesn’t have to be tasteless! Not only is this quick and easy dish delish, it’s packed with powerful nutrients, vitamins, and healthy fats, to kick start your day!

You can double up on the health factor of this yummy sandwich by throwing it all together on a 12 -grain bread. The recipe calls for an entire avocado, per sandwich, so keep that in mind if you’re making more than one. Of course, you could also share one avocado between two sandwiches, and add more tomato instead.

Feel free to choose another type of cheese if mozzarella isn’t your thing. Whenever I make these for my family, I let everyone choose their favorite, or add a combination of different cheeses in each one.

If you’re looking for a great new recipe for chicken wings, you’ve come to the right place! These are definitely “stick-to-your-ribs,” kind of wings! Marrying sweet and spicy flavor notes, they make for a refreshing take, on a game-day treat. This dish is not only sweet and spicy, it is also a little sour, which makes for the perfect combination. Make sure you serve these with plenty of wet naps… for your furniture’s sake. Although the flavors are so delicious you may just want to lick your fingers clean!

Here’s how the recipe got started over at Simple Comfort Food:

My oldest son love chicken wings. He is one of my pickier eaters so I am always amazed that he likes chicken wings. He loves them so much he cleans them down to the bone, as any chicken wing eater should do, and so I wanted to see if he would try something different, and try these Thai sticky chicken wings I came up with.

I have to say, I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t like these wings. Picky eater or not!

Quick tip: This is definitely finger food, so make sure you have enough napkins!

I wonder if there’s anyone I know that hasn’t tried the magnificent combination of peanut butter and jelly? I certainly can’t think of anyone.

It’s such a common sandwich that I bet almost all of us have carried it in our lunchbox at some time. But it can get a little boring sometimes – even if you love the flavor combination, the same old sandwich might feel like blah if you’re having it every other day. I wanted to find out if there was a way to take it up a notch, and turn the weekday lunch combo into a more festive treat. After a quick online search, I was able to find this recipe. I was a little hesitant at first but I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a yummy dessert before!

These mini desserts are not only delectable, but very simple to make. Topped with roasted peanuts, and you’ve got yourself a deal! Peanut butter and jelly aren’t just for kid’s lunches anymore. This recipe yields 12 miniature pies, so feast your eyes.

Quick tip: Try apple & cinnamon jelly with these, it’s amazing!

I used to be a girl scout! It was a fun hobby, and very educational as well. We always had the best time camping in the forest and telling ghost stories until we were all so scared we couldn’t sleep all night!

Instead, we made a lovely fire and started roasting our favorite treat; s’mores. How is it that everything tastes even better when you’re outside? I could have eaten a dozen s’mores at once (in fact, I probably did, which might be why I wasn’t sleeping much. I think it was all that sugar that kept me awake!

Who doesn’t like a wonderful mash-up of two favorites? Between moist chocolate, and fluffy melting marshmallow, you can barely eat just one. A perfect marriage between a brownie and a s’more, what more could you ask for? This recipe yields 12, 2-inch squares, but I doubt they’ll stay on the plate for long.

And since you don’t have to start a fire to make these, you can now enjoy the classic flavor any time of year – and any place where you have an oven!

Quick tip: Use your favorite crackers for the crust.

This adorable dish is not only super colorful, it’s also super healthy. You can eat a rainbow with butterflies, and never have to worry about your size! This recipe gets it’s name from the bow tie pasta, and the colorful ingredients like the red pepper, carrots, and edamame. This recipe yields up to four healthy servings.

Let’s hear it from our friends over at Food Network:

I loved it! I have to admit mixing it all together I had my doubts. I’ve never had edamame and I thought there was too much carrot and red bell pepper but I finished mixing and tasted it, WOW! I used tri-colored Rotini instead of butterflies and I used canola oil because I was out of olive oil. I can’t wait to try again with olive oil.

A nice quality olive oil is perfect for this dish, but it will still be absolutely delicious even if you substitute canola oil. This turns out so colorful and pretty you almost don’t want to eat it. Almost! Everyone in the family is going to fall in love with the flavor!

Quick tip: Use whole grain pasta for a healthier option.

Last week I was baking an apple butter bread. I was using a recipe I got from a friend of mine – she had made the bread earlier and offered me a slice when I popped over.

It was incredibly moist and delicious! Of course I wanted to try it myself. I was a little disappointed because mine didn’t turn out as well. It certainly looked nice and it wasn’t that bad, there was just something missing. I called my friend and asked if she had made any changes to the recipe – she hadn’t, but she had used homemade apple butter instead of store-bought, and it made such a huge difference!

This earthy sweet spreads makes for a delightful snack, spread over toast or a roll, with creamy butter. It can also be used the same way as an applesauce, complimenting dishes like pork. This recipe actually yields a lot, so get ready to share with family and friends! The recipe not only makes 12 pint jars, it also makes beautiful gifts for any occasion.

Quick tip: Serve over hot biscuits, toast or scones.

I love chicken. I think it’s one of the most versatile main ingredients there is! It’s also very inexpensive, and most of the time even the pickiest of eaters like chicken meals.

Sometimes, however, I’ve found myself getting a little bored of the usual chicken recipes on my dinner rotation. I wanted to find something a bit out of the ordinary, but I didn’t want it to be too complicated. After all, my days get very busy sometimes so I want cooking to be quick and easy. Guess what I found when I was searching for recipes?

A Spanish influenced spicy dish, that you can eat with a fork, or grab a tortilla and roll it up! Either way, your taste buds will thank you. A spicy, finger-lickin’ chicken dish, that is not only simple to make, but takes little to no attention (except from your crock pot). This dish yields about 4 servings, and only takes 35 minutes.

This dish is a staple in our dinner rotation and my kids are in love with it! They don’t mind the spiciness – in fact, they do what their Daddy does and add a dash of hot sauce on top of their serving!
