Homemade brownie ice cream sandwiches on a hot summer day? Yes, please! While technically it is not yet summer, it sure feels that way around here. We’ve had temps in the low 90’s so far this year, so that means we’re in for a brutal July as far as I can tell. What’s better on [...]
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 [...]

An easy barbecue salmon with mango salsa is perfect for a busy weeknight when you want something fresh and healthy. One of my favorite easy meals is a piece of salmon, in one of many ways. It surprises me when people tell me they are scared to cook fish at home because they’re afraid to [...]
An easy asparagus puff pastry appetizer that everyone will be reaching for seconds. I love spring. The weather starts to get warmer after a long winter. But also because it’s the beginning of produce season. Some of my favorites are happening right now. Strawberries. Rhubarb. Fresh herbs. And one of my favorite veggies: Asparagus. You [...]
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 [...]
