Last Day Fruit Parfait

It’s always nice to have a quick go to snack when you’re feeling extra munchy. For me, a lot of times, those snacks are not exactly healthy.

Havarti Stuffed Portabellini Mushrooms

Growing up, I was never a fan of mushrooms. I just had something in my head that said “no!” every single time. These days, things are much different! After exploring the health benefits of mushrooms and trying them in a few different recipes, I had a change of heart. They really aren’t bad tasting at
