I love bite-sized foods! Not only are they cute, but they’re also portion sized. What’s nice about frittatas is they are good any time of day. While frittatas can be as simple as ham and cheese, these little beauties take it up a notch with sweet, chewy sundried tomatoes, creamy goat cheese and fresh red … Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomato Mini Frittatas with Red Pepper Pesto
I think everyone can agree with that fact that the holiday season is the best time of the year. Yes, it can be busy, but I can’t help but get a warm feeling in my heart listening to Christmas music while baking up smells that remind me of cooking with my Grandma. One of those … Dark Chocolate Gingerbread Mini Muffins
I’ve had several requests for gluten-free recipes lately, especially for kids. Chicken tenders are a favorite of my grown-up child (my husband, Josh) so I figured I would take what is normally a very simple recipe and amp it up with Thai flavors. The coconut and lemongrass add an awesome flavor punch and the Chex … Coconut Chicken Tenders with Red Curry Dipping Sauce
Fall is right around the corner and apparently that means everyone is overjoyed with the fact that means we can eat pumpkin again! As a dietitian, I love using canned pumpkin year-round since it’s such a nutrient dense ingredient.

This is the perfect time of year to find good deals on fresh berries.

These muffins are a celebration of freshness. The fresh lemon zest … Lemon-Berry Chia Seed Mini Muffins
Today at work I noticed our deli was having a “fresh mozzarella pull” event and I couldn’t help but buy some! I hadn’t had really fresh mozzarella since culinary school, and it truly is a treat.

I’m not the biggest dessert person, but there’s something comforting about a cold sweet treat on a hot sunny day (especially if it’s chocolate!). This creamy, decadent dish is the perfect combination of bitter dark chocolate, sweet raspberries and cooling mint. If you want a completely dairy-free dessert, simple use dairy-free chocolate chips (like Enjoy … Simple Dark Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream
Summer is officially here and it’s time for fun get-togethers with family and friends. One of my friends shared some of her fresh mint with me and I knew I had to make something with mojito flavors. This melon salad is extremely refreshing and the fresh ginger balances everything out. This is best served extremely … Ginger Mojito Melon
I first tried chilequiles when I was in Mexico a while back. I was so impressed with how simple the dish was – tortillas and salsa, served with eggs. Eggs are one of my favorite go-to foods. While Josh will only eat them at breakfast, I love them any time of day. They’re wonderful prepared … Chilequile Frittata
