The Best Whipped Coffee (AKA Dalgona Coffee)

By

Hi, Okay, here I am, working on getting back to my new normal after the Derecho land hurricane hit us on August 10th, 2020. It left our house without power for 10 days. Some people are still without power as I write this, although, day-by-day the numbers of people without power are getting smaller. So, we moved back into our house as soon as our friend texted us that she drove by and saw lights on. It still feels like there is so much work to be done, but we will get there. A fresh new week, … [Read more...]

Classic Creamy Coleslaw (20 Minutes)

By

This recipe was previously published on Robust Recipes. It has been updated for a better user experience. Have you ever met a person who doesn't like coleslaw? Coleslaw is like the one salad that everyone likes. Even if you're not a salad person, you usually like a good creamy coleslaw. Nothing says summer to me like a big heaping side serving of creamy coleslaw next to my grilled whatever, or my BBQ slathered whatever, eaten on a paper plate outside. Half of the time I want to fill most … [Read more...]

Mango Smoothie Bowl (10 Ingredients)

Rosemary Socca (Chickpea Flour Flatbread)

By

Hi Friends, how are you doing? Back when the Covid-19 pandemic started everyone was going through a bread baking frenzy. Part of this was because there is a lot of comfort to be found in baking, this is very true. The other part is that stores were being bought out of sandwich bread, so people were getting resourceful. And I am assuming the other reason was to try something new, as a way to make the most of extra time spent at home. All of those reasons are great reasons to try your hand at … [Read more...]

Grilled Peanut Butter Sweet Pickle Sandwich

By

I know, I know, this sounds like the weirdest sandwich you've probably ever heard of in your entire life! I admit that it probably is. Just trust me, it is way better than you may think it is. In fact, it is by far my favorite, comfort food sandwich, next to a grilled cheese. And yes, that is saying a lot because I grew up in Wisconsin. We take our grilled cheese sandwiches very seriously there. Peanut butter sweet pickle sandwich is actually quite delicious. It's got that hint of natural … [Read more...]

Healthy Egg White Muffin Cups (Meal Prep Breakfast)

By

Hi friends, how are you doing? I hope you're well. Not sure if you know this about me, but I am a huge fan of eggs for breakfast. I have eggs in some form or another almost every single morning. Whether it's hard boiled eggs made the night before, a quick fried egg with toast for dipping into that runny yolk, a quick scramble, or an omelet on a Saturday morning (my husband's specialty that I refuse to learn, so that I can be pampered on the occasional weekend morning lol), there is rarely a … [Read more...]

10 Ingredient Tuna Melt (My Go To Recipe)

By

Hi there my friends. I hope everyone is staying safe and well. It's so hard to know how much, or how little to talk about our current situation of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. It's hard to escape thoughts of it, it's all over the internet and everyone is talking about it. But here we are, we all need to rely more on what we already have on hand and less on running to the store for 1 or 2 items. We need to stretch our fresh food and mix it with those canned goods. That's exactly what … [Read more...]

Strawberry Banana Cucumber Smoothie

By

This was a popular recipe that was previously published on Robust Recipes. It has been updated for a better user experience. Cucumber is in the HOUSE!!! And by house, I mean smoothie! Cucumber in a smoothie?! Ummmm! Yes, I know it sounds kinda weird, but it's actually really good. Refreshing, creamy, summery, and so delicious! Also, a great way to make use of a cucumber that is about to go bad on you. One that is too soft to eat but isn't gross and moldy or anything - throw it in … [Read more...]
