  • Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

    Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

    It’s been way too long since my last vacation. These past few years I’ve had day trips or a few nights away, but let’s get real: I’m desperate to dip my toes in the sand. Feel the sun on my skin. Get my hair wet in the ocean. I know I’m not alone there! Even…

  • Loaded Baked Potato Soup

    Loaded Baked Potato Soup

    As a teen I did not love being in the kitchen. When I was hungry, it was a matter of getting in and out as quickly as possible, with something easy, tasty, and potentially cheesy. I used to make a version of baked potato soup in the microwave. Looking back I’m confident that this recipe…

  • Strawberry Salsa

    Strawberry Salsa

    One of the first dishes my sister ever wowed me with was baked chicken topped with a mango salsa. Never before this had I considered another type of salsa – what was this magic on my tastebuds? The experience opened my eyes and after that, I was sold on trying all different kinds. There are…

  • Roasted Red Pepper Fettuccine

    Roasted Red Pepper Fettuccine

    There’s something about this that makes me think this is the perfect dish for date night. Even though overall it comes together easy, it still feels so lush, creamy, and satisfying.

  • The Green Machine

    The Green Machine

    If food held a popularity content, smoothie would have a good chance of winning. After all, what’s not to love? It can be anything you want it to be – creamy, refreshing, tart, sweet, chocolatey! Talk about versatility. Personally, I love a creamy smoothie. I also love one thats filling, not overly sweet, and packed…

    Chili-Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

    Are you a meal person or a snack person? I’ll admit, I am a total snack-a-holic. I prefer multiple appetizers over the whole meal. And my body just craves a bite every couple of hours. Sometimes, this snack-a-holic craves something crispy, warm, spicy, and dense. These Chili-Spiced Sweet Potato Fries fit the bill. Yes, they…

  • Avocado Spinach Dip

    Avocado Spinach Dip

    Certain dishes remind me of family gatherings. I love that the dishes that remind me of these get-togethers are not universal – mine may not be the same as yours. Yet they all share the same thing in common: bringing us back to the greatest memories. Of talking, listening, sharing, and celebrating. You know those…

  • Creamy Garlic Sage Pasta

    Creamy Garlic Sage Pasta

    Picture this: It’s the end of a long week. You come home, and jump right into your pajamas. You have a great movie picked out, and you’re ready to have the cozy-night-in of your dreams. But wait? What’s that rumbling? Oh no! You forgot about dinner! This isn’t like you – you love food. How…

  • Orange Cranberry Chutney

    Orange Cranberry Chutney

    I was spoiled as a child when it comes to food. My mom has always been an excellent chef – and even though she was busy she always made the time to prepare a 5 star Sunday dinner for us. Of course, Holiday meals always put those 5 star dinners to shame. Those were 6…

  • Chickpea Vegetable Curry

    Chickpea Vegetable Curry

    Everyone has their comfort food – that dish they turn to when they’re feeling especially worn down or in need of something cozy. That dish, for me, has not changed for the past 4 years; every time I’m in that mood, I always make my Chickpea Vegetable Curry. Curry isn’t one of those dishes I…
