I have a confession: I have only lukewarm feelings for Halloween. I don’t mind the playful aspects of Halloween and good-natured parties, but I hate being scared, candy doesn’t do much for me, and food that looks like dismembered body parts grosses me out.Even the recipe I’m posting right now could (and seasonally speaking, should) …
I really don’t think the blogosphere needs another tortilla soup recipe. Heck, I’ve posted similar recipes already, but this one was different. (Doesn’t everyone say that?) I had an epiphany as I was making this. I’ll tell you about it in a sec. First I wanted to mention that this recipe came from Beso Restaurant, …
I think my love for easy, speedy fish recipes is obvious in the robust fish section of my recipe index. Have you ever baked fish in parchment? It creates a steamy little packet that infuses flavor into fish fillets like no other.

Don’t hate me for saying this, but I don’t think it’s gotten over 70 degrees here for the past two weeks. While 65 degree weather isn’t ideal for playing in the hose outside, it’s awfully better (to me) than 95 degrees. Especially since our home isn’t air-conditioned. I feel like fall has already arrived. Hello, …
This is an adapted version of Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Rolls, using cream cheese and maple in the cinnamon roll frosting. It’s like a cinnamon roll and maple doughnut had a baby.
I’m a sucker for fresh corn in the summer. My all-time favorite way of making fresh corn is turning it into elote or Mexican corn on the cob — rolled in spiced mayo and cotija cheese. But when I don’t feel like getting my face covered in cheese and sauce, this flavorful, fresh bowl of grilled …
I’ve been in love with pancakes for a long time, and I’ve had quite an evolving journey these past few years as we’ve tried to make healthier food choices. We started at Bisquick and now here were are at buckwheat. That’s quite a jump, but it didn’t happen overnight. Making drastic jumps like that (when …
Many homemade granola recipes are loaded with processed sugar and while they’re super tasty – you don’t necessarily want dessert for breakfast, right? After making healthy granola on a regular basis for over 10 years I’m here to tell you – you can make it healthy AND tasty!
I have a whole section of my website dedicated to grilling. Not just burgers, but all kinds of protein and vegetables! I would grill everything all the time if I could! I love adding fun twists on traditional grilled recipes and this grilled zucchini recipe is the perfect example of that.
If you’re wondering what that orange stuff is in the jar, it’s the sun-dried tomato-soaked olive oil that solidified after being in the fridge. Once upon a trip to Costco, I bought a giant jar of sun-dried tomatoes on a whim. After using them off and on throughout our six years of marriage (not …

Making homemade tortillas is fun and inexpensive and they taste SO much better than the ones you buy in the store! And naturally gluten-free.
Yes, another recipe with chard. You’re probably sick of hearing me mention my CSA box (see this post if you don’t know what a CSA is), but that box of surprise veggies has a very strong say in what we eat. I’ve never eaten so many vegetables for so long in my life — especially …
Two ingredient guacamole! Because we don’t always feel like dragging out a cutting board. And sometimes our cilantro is slimy.
This recipe has been updated and made paleo & Whole30 friendly! Grab the recipe here: Paleo/Whole30 Mini Skillet Meatloaves I like meatloaf, but I’m picky about it. It has to be moist and have a lot of flavor (not too “meaty”). My mom makes really good meatloaf.But meatloaf takes, like, over an hour to cook. …
This is the BEST way to make roasted broccoli and have those caramelized crispy bits! No more soggy, overcooked broccoli.
I’m not going to lie to you. (I never do anyway.) This mac ‘n’ cheese is awesome. VERY awesome. It’s perfectly creamy with a smoky bacon flavor, yet the slight sweetness from the roasted squash still manages to shine through. One of my favorite parts is that it doesn’t bake in the oven forever — …
This hearty, smoky chili has become my go-to recipe for a weeknight chili. I love the extra flavor BBQ sauce adds!

You can find a paleo/Whole30/Keto INSTANT POT version right here: Zuppa Toscana (Instant Pot Version) Though a popular soup at Olive Garden, this isn’t meant to be a “copycat” recipe. It might taste pretty close, but I can’t even remember the last time I had this …
