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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
An easy and delicious sweet and salty snack mix to make for your next party or yourself is always a hit. I’m not a sports fan. Like at all. So it should not be a surprise to anyone that I do not care about the Super Bowl. Not even the commercials. Unfortunately for me, my [...]
Mini chocolate berry pies make the perfect gift for your significant other, best friend, or just to treat yourself. I can’t think of a better treat for Valentine’s Day than these easy berry chocolate mini pies. Kind of like fancy (but also kind of rustic?!) PopTarts. I made these because I had leftover pie crust, [...]
An easy green enchilada sauce recipe is perfect when you want enchiladas that are better than opening a can. I love enchiladas, but especially salsa verde enchiladas. There’s something about tart, spicy, and rich flavor combined with creamy cheese that gets me every time. It’s easy to pick up a can of enchilada sauce in [...]
