A very easy-to-make granola recipe that is delicious and the best snack ever. All the girls at my office eat this with yogurt every day. It's awesome! If you don't have some of the dry ingredients, just add more of what you do have. Walnuts are a fine substitute for pecans. You can also try dried blueberries instead of or with the cranberries.

Tajin® Michelada
I'm lucky enough to live in an area with a large Hispanic population and what seems like a Mexican restaurant or taqueria on every corner. They each have their own michelada recipe, and this is my version of my favorite. Maggi®Jugo seasoning can be found in the international aisle of your grocery store or Hispanic markets and provides an umami flavor. You may substitute soy sauce if necessary. Add more hot sauce if you prefer!
Sugar-Free Peach and Banana Cobbler
This sugar-free peach and banana cobbler is my own creation. It's a good recipe for diabetics but can easily be made as a non-diabetic dessert by using real sugar instead of a sugar substitute. It's not super sweet, allowing the natural sweetness of the fruit to come through.
Powerhouse African Yam Stew
Protein from split peas, chickpeas, peanut butter, and red lentils. Low-carb from yams. Sooo yummy, nutritious, and cheap. This makes a large batch, but just try to have some left for the freezer. A winner!
