You are in for a special one today! This is THE RECIPE that made me really consider writing a food blog and putting myself out there in the world. This is the recipe that my fiance asks me to make almost every week, because he just can’t get enough of it. And with football season approaching, who else can’t get enough buffalo?…
Hey there! I’m coming at you with another recipe makeover here! This time it’s a classic- fish and chips, which is typically fried fish, fried potatoes, and a heavy coleslaw. So I’m going to show you how to do it all a little lighter and healthier! Let’s start with the coleslaw. It’s usually dripping with that dressing, am I right? So…

You may be wondering what exactly “en papillote” means? Well, it’s a French term, meaning “in parchment”. It’s sometimes used in delicate cooking, like with a light fish, and you wrap the fillet in parchment with some other ingredients and bake it in the oven. It creates a steaming effect, and gives you a moist product as a result. By…
Posole is one of those recipes that brings back memories for me. I’m thinking Christmas morning, heading over to celebrate the holiday at my PapaCino’s house. That’s my cute little name for my Grandpa. It meant family, joy, togetherness, and a sense of warmth. Great food, great people, great days. I would also look over rather squeamishly at the menudo…
Ok, so I tried to make this dish have a nice, descriptive name. I really did! Because would you like to know the other names it goes by? They don’t sound quite as appetizing to me, but maybe you’ll recognize one: creamed beef, shit-on-a-shingle (aka SOS beef), or my family’s favorite- “the meal”. We always knew what Dad was making when…
DIY sushi? Well, it’s pretty close! Salmon, avocado, brown rice, vegetables, and nori come together beautifully to make this cross between a hand roll and a sushi burrito. And it’s not that difficult to make! Ok, so first you want to cook your salmon. I know you may be thinking, “HEY! My sushi is usually raw!” Unless you completely trust…
Do you want to know one of reasons I started this blog? It was to inspire people. To let them know that cooking can still be fun, that you can always learn, that you should be excited to make your dinner! It makes me incredibly happy to see people talking about my recipes, but also their own, and inspired to get…
So you may be thinking, what do nachos have to do with a bed and breakfast? But think again! The B&B here stands for Beef and Bean nachos, as in grass-fed ground beef and fiber-filled pinto beans! Pile those nutritious ingredients on top of bean chips, almond cheese, and tomatoes, all topped off with spinach, cilantro, and lime? My kind…
Hey there! I’m bringing you another lower-carb pasta alternative today, and this one is SO STINKIN GOOD. You know why? Because there’s CHEESE! It’s something that I don’t honestly use a lot of. You may find it here and there in recipes, but we became so accustomed to a dairy-free diet after both my fiance and I discovered we were…
