The Pescetarian and the Pig

Christmas is my absolute favorite season of the entire year. I can’t get enough Christmas lights, gingerbread, peppermint, Home Alone, fresh pine scent, or eggnog! Let’s talk about Home Alone for a minute. Seriously. One of the best Christmas movies of all time. And Home Alone 2 was a fantastic follow-up. Before we get into this […]

Last week I discovered the most delicious combination of flavors that resulted in the chewiest, most addictive cookies I’ve ever tasted. At least that’s my opinion. I literally ate 9 of them by myself. Don’t tell. I was inspired by the season, by Halloween, and by my visit to the Hodges Farm Pumpkin Patch. I […]

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spice Cake with Maple Cinnamon Glaze. It’s almost Halloween and fall is finally coming to Charlotte. The weather has cooled down significantly (at least this week it has), and a few of the trees in the neighborhood are finally changing color. I’m not sure why fall is holding off like this. My […]

Yes! Fall is officially here! I see all the beautiful pumpkin stands on my drive to work, gourds at the grocery store (which I stocked up on heavily. How can I resist decorating with these beautiful things) and pumpkin recipes everywhere! I’m sure some people are getting a little tired of the pumpkin recipes and […]

Have you seen Coneheads? I saw it way back in the day… I think I was about 9 or 10. Anyway, it happens to be on HBO on Demand at the moment, so I decided to take a quick trip down memory lane and watch it again. Holy cow, I swear every comedian ever is […]

Gooey Peanut Butter Cookie Brownies. Do you remember when I said I was on a diet? Do you remember when I said I was going to stick to it ever so strictly because I’m so close to my goal and I just want to be done with it already? Do you remember when Peanut Butter […]

Toffee and Peaches are a match made in Heaven. Period. Peaches are a summer staple, or so I have learned since moving to the south. Being from Seattle, roadside fruit stands selling Rainier Cherries and Blackberries have always been one of the things that signifies summer for me. In Charlotte, it’s peaches. When I found […]

Gelatin-free S’more Cupcakes. S’mores. How can you go a summer without them? Unfortunately, it’s not all that easy to come across vegan or gelatin-free marshmallows… but, luckily, marshmallow fluff does not contain gelatin! Now here’s a recipe for some delicious s’more cupcakes. Instead of adding graham cracker flavor within the cake batter or on top […]

Vegetable lasagna is one of my favorite dinner meals. There’s no doubt that the vegetable version is healthier than the meaty version, but I wanted to make it even healthier and take out a ton of carbs and calories. The easy solution? Remove the pasta! Especially during the summer when eggplant and zucchini are so […]

Man oh man oh man I love Quinoa! Man oh man oh man I love Mushrooms! Man oh man oh man I love this combination! These stuffed mushrooms work great as an appetizer, a side dish, or a very tasty and healthy snack! Quinoa (keen-wah) is rich in protein and has perfectly balanced amino acids, […]
