Creole Rice Skillet with Andouille Sausage
I heart quick dinners. Don’t we all? Some nights there just isn’t time to mess around with the oven and the pots and the pans and the measuring cups and the nonsense. Some nights I just pull out the cast iron and see what happens. The night I made this skillet, I was lucky enough […]
Spiced Nut Butter Balls
I am a fool for this snack ball trend. They are so good! So easy to pull together! So much better to snack on then junk food! The one thing they don’t have going for them is a good name- Nut Balls is just awful. So is Snack Balls. Energy Balls? Nut Butter Balls? A […]
Roasted Red Pepper Dip and Valentine’s Day Veggies
Veggies for Valentine’s Day! Let’s make it a thing. It’s not exactly a box of chocolates, but it’s kid-friendly and pretty adorable. Who can say no to heart-shaped vegetables? I made up this little tray for a kids’ Valentine’s Day party in under an hour this morning. That includes chopping, arranging the plate and making […]
Quick Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Coconut Topping
Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were a kid. (Hand raised.) Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were in college. (Hand raised- no shame.) Raise your hand if you still eat pudding cups as an adult? (I wish. Where do I find refined-sugar free, corn syrup-free, […]
Rosemary Roasted Fingerlings and Brussel Sprouts
This new blog feels like a giant, open room that I can’t wait to furnish. I am excited to fill this blog with new, fresh recipes.. maybe some old favorites, too.. I am loving it! This recipe is a little bit old and a little bit new. I’ve always (I mean, since I’ve been a […]
Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites
Let me take you back for a second- imagine it’s Halloween in the early 90s. I’m probably dressed as a black cat (it was my thing). I come home with a pillowcase full of candy and start my sorting ritual with my mom. I would hoard the peanut butter cups and Hershey bars, and I […]
Crispy Prosciutto Snacks (Paleo)
Did you ever make a great discovery in the kitchen, forget all about it, and then rediscover it later on? This happens to me sometimes, since I don’t repeat many recipes, but I still gravitate toward the same flavors and types of food (I’m looking at you, brunch.) That’s totally what happened to me here. […]
Chocolate Bacon Truffles (with a Dairy-Free option)
My darlings, I am so glad to bring this post to you. All of that broken computer nonsense is over and done- how lucky and thankful I am to have a husband who can fix anything (thank you for all your help, too, YouTube- couldn’t have done it without you). And what better way to greet […]
Pumpkin and Gingersnap Yogurt Parfait (gluten-free)
It’s Thanksgiving week- I couldn’t leave you hanging without something yummy to look at! Forget pies and turkeys and sides and all of that nonsense- you probably already have your big day game plan in place. I wanted to give you something to eat in the days before (or after) Turkey Day. Chances are, you […]
