I love soups that are delicious and super healthy, and easy lentil soup recipe fits perfectly. It’s full of hearty lentils, quinoa, and veggies, so it’s perfect for a cold Monday night after a long weekend of over indulging. It uses tons of garlic, and both lemon juice and zest give it a bright and [...]
A vegetarian sausage and pepper pizza is probably my favorite pizza, since having it at a local place near me, but I could never get it right myself. Mostly because the sausage was never right. Sausage is one of those things that should be easy to replicate with seasonings, but that’s not always the case. [...]
Enchiladas is a favorite meal of mine, and one that I often order at the local Mexican joint near me. There’s something about soft corn tortillas, savory fillings, and a rich chili pepper sauce that they’re smothered in. Guess what? Enchiladas are surprisingly easy to make at home, even the sauce. In fact, the sauce is [...]
A salted caramel tea blend that you can make yourself at home? It’s possible, and delicious. Making my own tea blends has become a hobby of mine. I drink a lot of tea, and good quality dried tea is expensive. After reading the ingredients on my favorite tea blends, I realized that a lot [...]
Sheet pan mac n cheese means an almost equal ratio of crispy crunchy topping to tender pasta. Is there anything better? I am not a pasta person, but I do love mac n cheese, and have tried it dozens of ways. Baked, creamy, skipping the pre-boil. It’s almost always good, but my favorite part of [...]
There’s something about starting a weekend morning with a good cup of coffee and a fresh doughnut. Especially when it’s quiet and you have the house to yourself, and you can just relax for a minute. Frying doughnuts is mess and time consuming — and I don’t want to eat a bunch of fried doughnuts [...]
Flakey, rich, and chocolatey. Who wouldn’t want a croissant brownie? A favorite bakery of mine makes different dessert mashups that are always creative and delicious. Because why wouldn’t a doughnut that is also a cookie be amazing? One recent addition to her line came from a way to use up some leftover croissants. Instead of [...]
Pasta is not a favorite dish of mine, but I do love gnocchi, especially this one pot gnocchi. There’s something about tender, pillowy bites of potato coated in velvety tomato sauce that are comforting on a cold winter night. I’ve made it a lot of ways, but this way might be my favorite — topped [...]
There are dinner rolls. And then there are milk bread rolls. And if you’ve had them both, then you know the difference. A good crusty dinner roll is a thing of beauty, yes. But, this is not that. Not at all. These are quite the opposite of that, actually. These are soft and squishy, and [...]
When the weather gets cooler, oatmeal becomes more of a thing in my life. Not gonna lie, sometimes it’s instant, but I love a good baked oatmeal, especially when it is loaded with chocolate. Oatmeal gets a bad rep (although I tend to like it any way you make it) but there’s more to it [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
