Garlicky Pizzeria Style Knots

Happy Thursday W+A friends! Tonight we are headed to the city for a tasting and of course New York is still holding on to that winter weather. We were teased with a few nice days last week, which gave us a taste of spring time weather. This week we wanted to use up some of our frozen three ingredient dough. Now that we've tested it out on bagels and pizzas, garlic knots were the next obvious choice. These were so easy to make and we paired them with some zucchini noodles and sauce. They are also a great lunchtime snack, toasted up in the morning with some butter or can be enjoyed with a big salad or soup. Here is everything you'll need to make these garlicky guys: 

Ingredients 
1 c of self rising flour 
1 c of plain nonfat Greek yogurt (drained) 
3/4 tsp of salt 
2 tsp of baking powder 
1 tbsp of olive oil 
1 tbsp of butter 
2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
2 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp of fresh or dry parsley (chopped)

Directions 
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick olive oil spray. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Use a spatula to add in the yogurt and mix until dough starts to form. Flour your hands and knead dough. Add more flour if necessary and roll into one large bowl. Divide your dough into 8 small pieces and roll them into sticks about 8 inches long. Loop you dough and create a knot. Place your knots on a baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil. Bake for about 17-20 minutes until tops start to turn a golden brown. While you knots bake, heat your skillet with your butter and add your garlic. Sauté for about 4 minutes until garlic starts to get golden. Turn off heat and toss in your garlic knots giving your pan a few tosses until your knots are covered. Take an excess butter and garlic and brush onto the tops of the knots. Plate and sprinkle with parsley and grated cheese.

Almond Poppy Seed + Lemon Loaf

Happy Spring? Yes,  the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away. We started on some yard work this week and were getting the itch to start doing some planting, but luckily we held out for now. Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days. We just received some of Kodiak Cake's  new Almond Poppy Seed Power Cakes Flapjack + Waffle mix. We decided to use this delicious mix for some baking and the results turned out absolutely delicious. Here's everything you will need:  Ingredients 3 cups of Kodiak Mix  1/2 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt 1 tsp vanilla extract  1 tsp of baking powder  3 eggs, beaten  4 tbsp of unsalted butter, softened  1/3 cup of brown sugar  3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla ...

I Woke Up Like This

I sure did, with the world's biggest top knot, a baggy Gap hoodie circa 1999 and some fuzzy socks. Friday is finally here and I couldn't be happier. All of this snow makes the week go by even slower. Being cooped up in the house for a few days is never fun. I think I've got some hardcore cabin fever, so I am looking forward to getting out and celebrating our friend's 30th birthday on Saturday night. She is throwing a Gatsby themed party and I would be lying to you all if I told you I wouldn't be hanging by the champagne bar all night. It should be a fun time and I'm super excited to see their newly renovated home too. How life has changed. My weekends used to consist of planning my outfit for Friday and Saturday nights, preparing a pregame playlist and heading out with girlfriends to the newest and trendiest bar. Now, its 30th birthday parties, meeting our friend's babies and visitng friend's new homes, all very good stuff I might add. I kicked off ...

Slow Cooker Honey Parmesan Pork Roast

We made it to hump day! As I currently sip my coffee this morning, I have a batch of banana coconut chocolate chip energy bites (recipe to come) for a little after dinner or post gym snack baking in the oven. We had a pork loin in the fridge big enough to feed a small country so we decided to cut it and make three separate meals for the week. I typically roast my pork in the oven Cuban style and add some roasted potatoes, but I figured I could set it and forget it with this easy and DELICIOUS recipe below. I'm not embarrassed to admit that John and I pretty much polished off almost the entire pork loin. Here is everything you'll need to make slow cooker honey Parmesan pork roast:  Ingredients 3 to 4 lbs of pork loin roast 2 tbsp dried oregano 2 tbsp dried basil 1/2  tsp black pepper 3/4 tsp salt 2 tbsp garlic, minced 1/2 c honey 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 c soy sauce 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Directions Place pork loin in slow cooker....
