Kale chips are my thighs’ best friend. They have saved me from so many nights of craving tortilla chips and popcorn. They love to be put in a big bowl and be eaten like popcorn while I watch a movie. They also really like to accompany mouth-watering dishes like Black Pepper Sesame Sea Scallops . And […]

Apple Cinnamon French Toast Pancakes
Well, I sure hope you’re ready, because your Sunday mornings will never be the same again! Or your Saturday mornings… or your Monday nights… or whatever day and time you decide to try out this fluffy tower of complete awesomeness. Ever have trouble choosing between eating pancakes or French Toast? Welllll…. what if you used […]

Cauliflower Mash
I am 100% unquestionably addicted. And I don’t normally even like cauliflower that much. But as a healthy, starch-free alternative to mashed potatoes? I have fallen off the train of sanity and could eat this with every meal. It’s super easy to prepare, too. Ridiculously easy. And I’m showing you pictures of how to do […]

Mini Orange-Lime-Coconut Cupcakes
Spring is coming! I’m so excited! I’m so ready for warmer weather, flowers, refreshing vegetables and fruits from the local farmer’s market. The warmer weather, longer days, and sunshine tend to evoke a longing for lighter foods. Creamy, buttery comfort food and pasta dishes are suddenly less desirable and rich chocolate and hot caramely desserts […]

Seared Cod with Crab and Horseradish Sauce
So I have been in super musically reminiscent mode lately. I blame it on How Sweet It Is. She wrote a blog a few weeks ago and mentioned her love for Boyz II Men. I was getting so tired of the Pandora stations I’d created and I thought “HOLY COW! I totally forgot that they […]

Sushi
Suuuuuuuuushi!!!!! Yum! Definitely my absolute favorite meal ever, and really not difficult to make. Now, I have not quite mastered my sushi-rolling skills, and I haven’t gotten down the craft of the rice-on-the-outside (which I’m pretty sure involves Saran wrap…), but as long as it tastes good, I don’t see a problem! This is more […]

Blood Orange Cream Cheese Brownies
Happy Valentine’s Day! So, even though I recently revealed that I have never had a Valentine before, I love Valentine’s Day. I love hearts and chocolate and that everything is pink and cheesy. I even went to go see that movie, The Vow, on Sunday, hoping that it would make me bawl my eyes out at […]

Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes with Bailey’s Pudding Filling and Kahlua Frosting
Oops! I did it again! I got boozy with my dessert, but I think I’ve created a winner. So, with it being February and all, I’m of course thinking about Valentine’s Day and Cupid and pink and red and chocolate and roses…. Well, I haven’t really been thinking about that, but when I walk into […]

Roasted Vegetable Nachos
For some reason, nachos have been my craving for months now. Literally months. And now, with the Superbowl coming up (can you believe it’s almost February?) I had the perfect excuse to make a heaping dish of hot, cheesy tortilla chips smothered in piles of roasted vegetables and Greek yogurt… Just so I could share […]
