Peppermint Hot Chocolate Popcorn. Easy. Tasty. Wonderful for a last minute gift or party snack. The longest part of making this popcorn is waiting for the chocolate to re-harden. I love peppermint hot chocolate so much. So much. These cookies are a testament to that. And the day I discovered that homemade popcorn was as […]

Collard Greens Hummus Wrap Can I assume you’re here because you’re looking for something healthy? Well, BAM. Look no further! I’m not sure about you guys, but the heavy eating over the holidays is turning me a little pudgy. To ease the effects of the winter weight gain, I try to eat at clean as […]

Roasted Garlic Hummus. Fall is so close. SOOOOOOO close. It’s the only thing I can think about right now as I sit here praying for cooler weather. As a Seattle native, this business of weeks and weeks of over 97 degree weather has me somehow feeling depressed and super housebound. Any time I hear a droplet […]

Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with a Triple Gingersnap Crust. This recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie is a classic that was handed down from my grandmother to my mother and then to me. With only minor tweaks in spices, cookie crust, and the use of agar agar in place of gelatin to keep this a vegetarian dessert, […]

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn.  I am overjoyed by the potential that the weather is cooling down. I can’t even tell you how ready I am for soup and hot chocolate days by the fireplace. I live for rain and blankets and cozy candlelight. It’s the time of weather that allows me to catch up on my […]

Greek Yogurt Avocado Spread OMG, this is the most perfect avocado spread ever. It’s the creamiest, dreamiest spread mixed with a blend of tasty spice, zesty lime juice, fresh cilantro, and protein-packed Greek Yogurt.

Peach Port Salut and Pepper Jack Grilled Cheese Sandwich.  So, this is a recipe that I have been churning over and over and over again in my head for weeks. Weeks, I tell you! I’ve been wanting so badly to mix peaches and pepper jack cheese together. I am one of the truest believers in […]

Corn and Black Bean Salsa. It was a looooooooooooooong weekend! You guys! You won’t believe what I did! I went recipe-creating crazy and I came up with a gagillion recipes to satisfy every craving imaginable and then… well… then I lost my notebook. Yeah. That notebook. The one where I wrote down all of the […]

Cinnamon Cocoa Coated AlmondsI could listen to Liam Neeson talk all day long. Aaalllll dayyyyy. His voice has this smooth, velvety richness to it that I find very soothing. This morning at the gym I elected to do my elliptical workout in the movie room because I saw that Batman Begins was playing, and I love […]

Light Rotini Pasta and VeggiesOh Rotini Pasta… Your beautiful spirals, your tender texture, your amazing capacity to hold flavor in your shape…how is it that I could have gone all of these years and not fallen in love with you until now? You were there the whole time, but I never noticed… Perhaps it’s because […]
