Breaded Artichoke Salad
Bowl-licking salad recipe ahead!If you read regularly, you know I’m a sucker for a recipe that is a nice compromise between packing in some healthy goodies but still feels like a splurge. My go-to meal when I want unhealthy food is to make some kind of special treat and throw it on a salad. That […]

Sweet & Tangy Cucumber Salad
Seriously, over a week without posting food was weird, I missed you guys! I really loved working on redesigning my blog and learning some completely new-to-me things. I absolutely intend to keep working on it, and I’m sure you’ll see gradual changes for a long time to come. But now that the redesign is presentable, […]

Doyle’s (and Leslie’s) Mom’s Hungarian Goulash
You guys. Have you ever had goulash? I realize it’s not a super common food for most people. For me, it was a childhood staple. It was my favorite thing my mom made for an incredibly long period of life. It’s a really simple dish – basically the Hungarian version of a Bolognese sauce. We ate […]

No Sugar Added Strawberry Cupcakes
My niece Molly just turned one last month! Sadly, she was sick on her actual birthday, but we made sure to reschedule a birthday party for the little kiddo. Of course, I was in charge of the cake. Baby’s first cake! So excited. To keep her from eating TOO much sugar, I decided to sweeten the […]

Mushroom & Artichoke Pastry Cups
I have been working on my “use my cookbooks” goal a bit more this month, and doing pretty well. This simple and incredible meal came from a cookbook, and I just HAD to share. These awesome little pastry cups are filled with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, chives, and marinated artichoke hearts and stuffed into puff pastry. […]

Immunity Powerhouse Green Smoothie
Guys, I’m sick. Boo. It’s pretty mild, but I am feeling a little slow and sleepy, so the other day I decided to take a nice long lunch and go home and make myself a nutrition-packed smoothie (where I could drink it under a blanket, of course) to re-energize me for the afternoon. It was […]

Polenta Rounds w/ Pizza Saute
Yes, I said pizza sauté! I really wanted pizza, but decided that my fridge was way too insanely well-stocked to justify going out to buy cheese and a pizza dough. So instead, I used what I had for a quick pizza-like meal and was so happy with it! A weeknight meal done right. This is […]

Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Stew
This is an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kind of recipe. I got out my slow cooker last weekend, filled it to the brim with all kinds of goodies from my fridge and cupboards, and let ‘er rip. The result is a hearty and filling stew packed with wonderfully nutritious but comforting ingredients. Perfect for that New Year’s resolution […]

Papaya + Berries for Breakfast In Bed
This breakfast has a very specific purpose: fast breakfast so I have more time to stay in bed with my electric blanket on these cold mornings. Confession: lately the number of days when I can only get myself up in time to throw my hair up, do some minimal makeup, and get out the door […]
