Make everyone happy on a holiday with this easy veggie brat recipe. If you don’t eat meat, a holiday weekend where everyone cooks out is not always a lot of fun. I can’t tell you how many cookouts I’ve been to and subsisted on potato chips and brownies, with maybe some pasta salad. These days, [...]
Coconut chocolate chip cookies are a healthy alternative to traditional and are certain to satisfy a sweet tooth. The world needs a lot of things, but does it need another chocolate chip cookie recipe? Probably not. But I’m going to share this one with you anyway. It’s not your usual caramelized chocolate chip cookie made [...]
For a different way to eat seafood, this hot crab dish is the way to go. There are some foods that you wouldn’t think would go together, and crab and tater tots are two of those foods. But you would be surprised to learn that these two foods go together well. A hot dish, if [...]
This easy Greek pasta salad is always a hit at parties or as a fresh and easy laid-back meal. Pasta salad has never been something I gravitate towards at cookouts or parties.

A red velvet tea blend is sweet, chocolatey, and reminiscent of everyone’s favorite cake. If I had to choose between cake and pie, I would choose pie every time. With very few exceptions (I do love Milk Bar’s classic birthday cake!) It’s not that I don’t like cake. I definitely do. But even though I [...]
Easy gluten-free everything bagel crackers made with a combination of seeds are a healthy snack to get you through your day. I love nuts and seeds, and also crackers. I eat some type of cracker multiple times a week, usually with cheese, but sometimes with hummus, peanut butter, or pesto. It depends on what I [...]
Brioche cinnamon rolls are perfect for a holiday brunch, or just any morning you want to have something special.
