grain free granola recipe

Grain Free Granola with Blueberries and Coconut

An easy grain-free granola recipe that is perfect for anyone following a gluten-free diet plan. I am definitely not gluten-free. I eat plenty of bread, have a strict dessert-first motto, and even eat pasta on occasion. That said, I also eat a lot of gluten-free things. Sometimes because I’m always experimenting with the latest food [...]

crispy tempeh

Crispy Tempeh Quinoa and Spinach Salad

I love a good salad, especially one that is filling enough to be a meal on its own. Like this tempeh quinoa salad. It’s healthy, tasty, and filling. And comes together pretty quickly. If you have quinoa leftover from a previous meal, this is the perfect use of it. I almost always make extra grains when I’m [...]

pan seared salmon

Easiest Pan Seared Salmon

Pan-seared salmon coated in lemon pepper makes a quick and easy weeknight main. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen testing recipes, photographing different dishes, and just experimenting. But there’s also the fact that I have to eat, so there’s just day-to-day cooking happening over here too. So going to a restaurant where [...]

raspberry oat bars

Gluten-Free Raspberry Coconut Oat Bars

Easy raspberry oat bars with toasted coconut are an easy dessert for any time. Almost every time I go to a gathering, I’m asked to bring something sweet. Sometimes I bring pie. If it’s fancy, I might bring a decadent chocolate tart. But there are times when it’s not fancy, and it’s I also don’t [...]

sheet pan shrimp

Sheet Pan Shrimp and Peppers

Sheet pan shrimp is the perfect weeknight meal. Easy, healthy, and delicious! When I tell people what I do, they think it’s exciting. Which in some ways it is. I love trying new things and I spend a lot of days in the kitchen. Cooking. Testing recipes. Photographing food. Washing dishes. Ugh, it seems like [...]

Cheddar Brown Rice Arancini

This brown rice arancini is the perfect way to use up leftover rice for a quick appetizer or light meal. I cook for two and test a lot of recipes. This means I end up with a lot of leftovers. Especially grains like brown rice. Brown rice is healthy and goes with a lot of [...]

brown rice bowl

Mediterranean Brown Rice Bowls

A brown rice bowl with tons of flavor is the perfect healthy meal on a busy night. I love a good grain bowl, especially if it has lots of veggies and a delicious sauce. But then it’s like, is it a salad? It could be? I also like a brown rice bowl that is easily [...]

mocha coffee sugar

Mexican Mocha Coffee Sugar

Mocha coffee sugar with a hint of heat is perfect for cold winter mornings! I like food, and I cook, so I am often gifted not just cooking tools, but also gourmet food gifts. Things that are nice to have, but I wouldn’t buy myself. Mostly because they are expensive. One of those gifts was [...]

strawberry coconut smoothie

Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

A luscious creamy strawberry coconut smoothie is everything right now. This is the worst time of the year. It’s cold and gray. We got a huge bunch of snow that won’t go away. Because it’s cold and gray. And we sometimes get a sliver of sunshine that makes you think spring is in the air. [...]

salmon and rice bowl

Barbecue Salsa Salmon with Poblano Brown Rice

A salmon and rice bowl that is killing it with flavor is perfect for a busy night. The salmon in this dish is one of my favorite ways to prepare fish. It’s fast and easy and results in crispy, caramelized salmon that is amazing in everything from tacos to salads, to grain bowls like this. [...]
