Yesterday, I went to the farmers market and picked up some super yummy yellow gold small, round potatoes. These have a very thin skin and a buttery taste. They taste absolutely AMAZING roasted, so I knew that’s what I wanted to do with them tonight. But, for a slight twist, I decided to smash them […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! How was your day? Was it filled with candy and flowers? Friends and drinks? Curled up with a good book under a blanket? However you spent your day, I hope you felt loved. My day was filled with surprises for my girls. In our family, our love language is food, so we […]
It’s the new year and I wanted to have something fresh and easy to start it off with. I tend to turn to tomatoes and herbs from my garden when I’m looking for something special and fresh. What do you tend to go for? Tomatoes and herbs just go together so nicely and have the […]
It’s Thanksgiving time! Time to make turkey, sides and lots and lots of desserts. There are so many desserts this time of year, so it really is hard to choose which one my favorite is. While I love a good pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake and apple pie, I think if I had to choose, my favorite […]
Looking for a potato side dish to make on Thanksgiving that’s not mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes? I’ve got you covered! Try making a creamy baked potato instead. Just slide the potatoes, pour on the liquid and bake. They’re so easy to make and no fuss. You’ll be making these for years to come!
Mandel bread! These are almond flavored biscotti-like cookies. They are super crunchy, but not dry. While you can dip them into a coffee or tea, you don’t have to as they can be eaten on their own. When I was growing up, I used to make these with my mom around the holidays every year. […]
When I was a little girl, my mom and I used to scoop out the insides of pumpkins for Halloween, carve our pumpkins and roast the seeds to snack on. It was a yearly tradition that I loved. Messy, but delicious! I would roast them with sweet seasonings for a sweet snack but this year, […]
Morning, friends! How’s everyone doing today? I woke up craving vegetables, so it’s that kinda day. 🙂 I’ll throw some in my morning smoothie or toss some spinach and onions with a scrambled egg to help but I know I’m going to need to load-up on more throughout the day. So I’m going to make […]
Oh summer, I love you and your abundance of fresh tomatoes! Small ones, big ones, multicolored ones – I love them all! There really is nothing better than a fresh, juicy tomato. When I eat tomatoes, I usually just pop them like candy. I could eat a box in a day. But every now and […]
For about 15 years, I was a vegetarian. I ate some beans here and there, ate a little bit of tofu, but generally, I ate a lot of carbs, veggies and fruit. I didn’t really get how to be a healthy vegetarian. When I started eating meat again, I felt an energy surge through me. […]
