The Pescetarian and the Pig

Cinnamon Nutmeg Snowball Cookies. Or Russian Tea Cakes. Or Mexican Wedding Cookies. Or whatever else you might call them. You guys, this is the 3rd year in a row that I have had this recipe sitting in my drafts and I almost forgot to post it before Christmas (like I did last year and the […]

Cranberry Walnut Cream Cheese Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread is one of those perfect desserts for holiday gatherings. It’s pretty simple to make, it really doesn’t require many ingredients, and serving it is as simple as laying it out on a plate and allowing each person to literally grab a piece. It’s also fantastic because it […]

Vanilla Honey Almond Butter. Make it. Make it, now. I’ve been on somewhat of an almond kick for the past week or so… Just like, almonds in general. Just plain raw almonds, roasted almond butter, homemade almond milk… Whatever else I can possibly do with almonds… It’s just been sort of almond crazy. Plus, since […]

Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond Smoothie. Whew! It’s been a busy couple of months!  I’ve been working like a crazy person on my web series, Door to Door (if you haven’t watch it yet, please check it out! It’s been such a blast to make so far), I’ve been brought on board by Curious.com as a […]

Caramel Maple Peanut Butter Bars. I’m way ahead of the Christmas season. My house has been decorated since the day after Halloween. I usually save my decorating for the day after Thanksgiving, but this year I needed the holiday cheer to come extra early. Luckily for me, I’m not the only one who started in […]

Pumpkin Spice Praline Pecans. I know that everything I’ve been posting lately has been pumpkin and a dessert… And I kinda of maybe a little bit feel like I should apologize, but then at the same time I’m like… What?! Why?! Pumpkin and dessert are both amazing! This will be the last dessert I post for […]

Chocolate Covered Mascarpone Filled Raspberries The final days of the beautiful summer are upon us and pumpkin is about to take over the world! Not that I mind… but… Fresh raspberries will soon become scarce, which brings a tear to my eye. One of those soft tears that wells up in just one eye without […]

So, in an attempt to eat perpetually healthy, sugar free, full-of-greens-and-protein food, I tend to walk into the grocery store with blinders on and head straight to the produce section, keeping my head low to avoid eye contact with the gargantuan display of seasonal items and candies. With Easter coming up, there are all the […]

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 […]

Could there be a better dessert than one made out of pure maple syrup? I think not! Growing up in Seattle I fell madly in love with everything maple, especially Maple Bars, which are a doughnut stick covered in gooey maple icing that seem to be only a Northwest specialty (I’ve never found them on […]
