  It’s no secret that I love quinoa. I’m always trying to think of new things to do with it. I love its nutty flavor and slight crunch and the versatility that it provides.

Party food can be rich and heavy, so I’m always looking for something to fill up my plate that won’t make me feel weighted down and gross. So when Sabra sent my some of their products to play around with (I’m super excited to be a Sabra Tastemaker this year!), I decided to make a [...]

On Friday I asked E what she wanted for dinner. Why I’m asking a two-year-old what she wants for dinner is beyond me. Ben had a late night at work, so I guess I didn’t really care. Well, sweet little E said “pizza!” Shocking request. I opened the pantry only to discover that we had [...]

Cocktail? Check. Egg dish? Check. Carbs? Completely necessary to every great brunch. And this happens to be brunch week if you’re just tuning in. But back to the carbs. Muffins, scones, bagels, pastries, I don’t really care–give me one of each. Bonus points if they have chocolate, which these muffins do. Now, you could make [...]

Brunch week continues, and what brunch is complete without an egg dish of some sort? A frittata, a quiche, an omelette, and let’s not forget a beautiful poached egg. I am obsessed with the fact that spring is finally here so I decided to do a spring-inspired frittata with asparagus and leeks. I kept the [...]

This recipe is SO simple and so good. I love adding this cilantro lime rice to a Mexican meal. It has bright flavors and brings life to what might be a heavy, cheesy and spicy meal (nothing wrong with that!). I love the flavors of the lime and cilantro with the rice. I could not [...]

These little buggers are one of my latest favorites. They are so good and so addicting. Little tiny (and might I add, adorable) sweet peppers stuffed with spiced-up gooey cream cheese and topped with crunchy panko breadcrumbs? I mean, really–what could go wrong in this scenario? Did I add that they are unbelievably easy to [...]

I’m obviously on a roasted vegetable kick. Although, it isn’t really a “kick.” A) It’s always been there — I love them! and B) It isn’t going anywhere. I also happen to love thyme. And roasted mushrooms are my favorite of all roasted vegetables. I could eat an embaressing amount of them, but I guess it is [...]
