If you offer me any combination of nut butter and chocolate, I’m in. These cookies are full of heart-healthy fats and natural sweetness. Pack one in your lunch for an afternoon treat or enjoy one for dessert with a glass of red wine. If you can’t find cashew butter, any nut butter will do as … No-Bake Salted Cashew Butter Cookies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
January is the month where we all start thinking about adding some nutrient-rich meals to our weekly menus (and if they are quick meals that’s always a bonus!). This frittata is chock-full of greens, meaning it’s high in fiber and will keep you happy and satisfied until your next meal. I suggest pairing it with … Leafy Greens and Goat Cheese Frittata
My husband got me a stocking full of giardiniera this year (we are weird, I know). That may sound crazy, but it doesn’t last long in our house! I love it on everything from pasta to potatoes. Using the giardiniera on these fries makes them the ultimate combo of sweet and spicy. Keep this recipe … Turkey Chili Cheese Fries with Giardiniera
I have a father who loves (and I mean LOVES) blue cheese. We always get him a block of good blue cheese for Christmas and his birthday (who wouldn’t love cheese as a gift?). This holiday we had a decent amount of cheese leftover from various holiday parties and get-togethers with friends so I decided … Pan-Seared Flank Steak with Blue Cheese Pesto
I love the smell of pancakes in the morning as it reminds me of cooking breakfast with my Grandma growing up. My family always made them thinner (as you will notice with this batter), which I like because the pancakes cook quickly and get a nice crust on the outside. These are great to make … Gluten-Free Buttermilk Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
We are currently experiencing piles of snow here in west Michigan, so that means I’m ready for some warm comfort food. I’m a huge fan of Thai food so I decided to put a spin on the classic chicken pot pie recipe by adding Thai flavors like curry paste, ginger, fish sauce and cilantro. This … Thai Chicken Pot Pie
Every month I like to go through my pantry and fridge and play a game of “Chopped” with myself to see what I can make with the variety of canned goods, spices and sauces that seem to accumulate there. I had been staring at the canned salmon for awhile, so it was time to make … Crispy Salmon and Sweet Potato Patties with Sweet Horseradish Mustard Sauce
Stuffed mushrooms are such a classic party staple. What I love about them is that you can make a large amount and the flavors are so versatile. Typically, I make them with sausage but I decided to create a meatless one (and honestly I might like this one better). The sundried tomato adds a nice … Spinach, Sundried Tomato and Almond Stuffed Mushrooms
If you think cranberries are over after Thanksgiving, think again. My family buys them in bulk this time of year because they are so good and add great flavor and color to lots of dishes. Case in point – this chicken dish. It looks and smells amazing and tastes even better. Serve this with wild … Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Cranberry-Shallot Pan Sauce
In my opinion, tacos are one of the best foods (I’m sure you all agree). I love playing around with different flavor combinations and making them super colorful. My husband and I have recently been using ground bison for a variety of recipes because it’s lean, protein-packed and delicious. After we ate these, we both … Ground Bison Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw and Creamy Salsa
