It’s about that time when I start craving warmer weather like nobody’s business. So to partially satisfy this craving, I like to make dishes that remind me of summer, and this one does exactly that. Grilled vegetables over a light gluten-free pasta (paired with a GF beer) makes me feel like I’m sitting out on […]

If you’re like me, you probably cook this delicious pot of chili, and end up having oodles and oodles of leftovers. I know I’ve said this before, but one of my favorite ways to cook is by remixing leftovers and turning them into something new. So, because I had all this leftover chili, I thought […]

I say that it’s my famous chili…that’s sort of a lie. Definitely not famous, but it is definitely one of my most signature dishes that I make all the time in the winter. The best and worst thing about this chili is that I don’t really have a set recipe. It turns out totally different […]

So I have to admit….this recipe was made on Christmas. That’s how behind I am on posting some recipes! To be fair I actually forgot about this one until today when I was flipping through my photo library. And I usually only blog recipes that are 100% my own (and if I don’t, credit is […]

Why do I call this particular veggie chili recipe a “stew?” I’m not totally sure, I just feel like I should! Plus, it has potatoes, gluten-free beer, and is a bit of a different consistency than regular chili. That makes it sort of a stew, right? Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it was phenomenal, and […]

I know, I teased you all a few weeks ago by sharing a photo of this recipe on twitter, and then I took forever to post it. My sincerest apologies!! It’s always amazing how real life just blows up all of a sudden. Sadly, when that happens blogging has to take a back seat, since […]

I will admit, I had a brussel sprout prejudice. Every time I had been around when they were cooked, they just smelled so odd I couldn’t imagine ingesting them, especially since you always hear complaints about these little vegetables. Well, I finally worked up the courage to give them a shot, and it turns out […]

On Saturdays I always feel the need to create a delicious, savory lunch from scratch since during the week I’m usually rushing to eat canned soup (Amy’s organic….delicious), or something of that nature. I hadn’t been to the store in a while so I had to work with the basic things I had on hand, […]

When was the last time you ate taquitos? For me, it was many many years ago, back when I still ate meat. We used to get the gigantic pack of frozen beef taquitos that you could just pop in the microwave, and bing! Delicious. Of course, the meat no longer sounds delicious, but the crispy […]

My favorite vegetables have always been the green ones. Broccoli, peas, edamame, spinach, peppers, zucchini…I could go on. And yet another favorite green food is pesto. Recently I made Spinach Pesto to make sure I used up all the spinach in my fridge before it went bad (and it was amazing). With that spinach pesto […]
