Happy Monday, Friends! I have a little something for you to help kick-start your Monday: Sriracha Honey Roasted Cashews. I hope you're as excited as I am! The idea for Sriracha Honey Roasted Cashews came from an advertisement for one of those order-a-box-of-fresh-healthy-food-and-it-comes-straight-to-your-door companies. Their example of a snack item was sriracha roasted cashews. I heard that and just had to find out what that would taste like, because I love sriracha on everything - even in … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Cornbread Drop Biscuits
Sometimes you just want a flaky, buttery biscuit that tastes just like the ones you get in the South. There's one problem: you're allergic to wheat or you're sensitive to gluten, or you have celiac disease, or you are serving these biscuits to a loved one who has one of these issues and must avoid wheat and/or gluten. Or you're like me and run a food blog that focuses on gluten free baking, not because you have a problem with wheat or gluten, but because you have several family and … [Read more...]
Mexican Millet Power Bowls with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette (V + GF)
Friends, I am pleased to introduce to you: Mexican Millet Power Bowls with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette! As I may have mentioned a few times before, Paul and I own a small, charming house that was built in 1910! We fell in love with its beautiful original oak woodwork that adorns the archways, base boards, and crown molding. What does our oak woodwork have to do with Mexican Millet Power Bowls with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette? I’m getting there. As our house is 105 years old, it is not … [Read more...]

Baked Coconut Shrimp with Two Dipping Sauces (GF)
This past week I was on my family vacation, in South Carolina. Actually, as you are reading this, I am on my way home right now. By now I have officially enjoyed the lifestyle of a beach bum for a week. I will be rested up, hopefully I will have a nice tan (and not be burnt), and I will have had plenty of time to catch up on my summer reading list. Oh, and yes, of course I will have enjoyed visiting with my family. Especially the ones that I only see once or twice a year. Isn’t it a wonderful … [Read more...]
Classic Potato Salad
Potato salad is one of my ultimate summertime comfort foods. My grandma would make this potato salad all of the time. The sauce was a thick, creamy, stick-to-the-potatoes-and-your-spoon kind of dressing with a kiss of salt and pepper and a hint of yellow mustard. Just as potato salad should be. She would bring this potato salad to almost every family gathering, especially during the summer. It was rare that she would take any leftovers home. It was just that good. Like most of … [Read more...]

Hey, everyone. Happy Monday, happy July! Um, how did we get to the second week of July already? Time flies when you’re busy and having fun!

My week-long family vacation occurs every July. Lazy beach time here I come! My birthday is at the end of the month! The 29th, just in case you … [Read more...]
Fresh Raspberry Margarita
I am the first to admit that I have consumed my fair share of margaritas made from a bottled mix. During college my roommates and I really enjoyed margaritas. We would buy the pre-made mixes at the store and whiz them up in a blender. We also enjoyed a pitcher of margaritas at our favorite Mexican restaurant, and we would definitely take advantage of the 99 cent margarita nights on Fridays at a local restaurant. I mean, come on, 99 cents for a margarita! That place was buzzing with broke … [Read more...]
Warm Lentil and Sweet Potato Kale Salad (V +GF)
You guys, I have a new obsession: Lentils! Aside from having lentils in a stew or soup I haven’t experienced them very much until I recently began playing around with them. Let me tell you, there is so much more to lentils than just soup. One of the reasons I am really enjoying lentils is because they are the perfect way to incorporate a vegetarian or a vegan meal into your diet. Just 1 cup of cooked lentils contains 18 grams of protein, 16 grams of dietary fiber, along … [Read more...]
Mixed Berry Curd
One of my favorite holidays is coming up next week. The 4th of July! I am so excited. I love watching fireworks and enjoying food and laughs with family and friends. There is no way I was going to let 4th of July slip by without a recipe to help put us in the spirit for celebrating the good old US of A. I had a bunch of egg yolks hanging out in my refrigerator because I’ve been making tons of broccoli and cheddar-bacon-quinoa bites lately. Every time I would poke my head into the … [Read more...]
