It’s been 2 years (YEARS!) since I’ve eaten red meat. That’s a long time. That said, I haven’t had the most consistent path with red meat…. I didn’t love it growing up and in fact, I didn’t eat it from ages 15-27. My mom used to make me eat meatloaf and I would literally gag […]

Friendly Lion Snack Dip
Happy birthday to our sweet Matilda! This past weekend, she turned 4!!! She wanted a full on Wild Kratts themed party at home so we had some animal-tastic fun, especially with the food. We served ‘snake sandwiches (aka rainbow bagels)’, Wild Kratts themed cupcakes and this friendly lion snack dip. It was super healthy and […]
Braised Asparagus
How do you usually make asparagus? I typically roast asparagus because I love the crunch and the sweetness it brings out when you roast them. I drizzle them with balsamic, like in my Roasted Balsamic Asparagus, or top them with more savory flavors, like in my Roasted Garlic Parmesan Asparagus. Either way, I’ve been making […]
Cheesy Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Chowder
Hi, friends! Happy Monday! 🙂 I made this amazing soup over the weekend to eat this week and I knew I had to share it with you all. It’s jam packed FULL of veggies, so easy to make and you can even meal prep this ahead of time so it’s an easy lunch or dinner […]
Simple Irish Soda Bread
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and what better way to celebrate than with a simple Irish Soda Bread. It’s the perfect mid-morning snack with tea and it’s pretty easy to make! So what is Irish soda bread? Well, to me, it tastes just like one big, sweet biscuit. And there really isn’t anything better than […]

Well, we now have so many leftover bananas, so I keep freezing them and when the freezer gets too full, I take them out make something with them. Usually banana bread, but not always! I really have been trying to […]
Carrot Slaw with Cranberries, Toasted Walnuts & Citrus Vinaigrette

Anyone else tired of holiday food?! Samesies! Ok, back tot he recipe – so last night, I made these AMAZING Lobster Tails. […]
Simple Cranberry Scones
*** This festive treat was featured on Twinkl here as part of their Christmas recipes campaign.*** Easy. Simple. Scones. These are a sweet treat on a cold morning with a nice cup of tea. They are cakey, but with a little crunch and a little chew. They are sweet, but not overly sweet. And they […]
French Onion Soup Potato Gratin
It’s Thanksgiving time which means it’s time to start planning those Thanksgiving day menus! There’s turkey, of course, soup, side dishes, desserts and lots and lots of snacks. While I don’t eat much of the meat these days, I absolutely love the side dishes. They are truly my favorite. Instead of making my Easy, Creamy […]
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pumpkin pie… some people hate it and others love it. I’m more in the camp of being indifferent towards it. 🙂 I generally don’t love the flavor of it and yes, I’ve made it both from the can and also fresh from a beautiful pumpkin. It’s just not that exciting to me. That said, if […]
