Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce
I love tart flavors. When I was a kid, I was the one asking for everyone’s lemons at the table so I could eat them. Yep, I was a weirdo, probably still am. If you’re weird like me, you will probably love this cranberry sauce recipe with a twist. When a Thanksgiving plate is weighed […]
Instant Pot Beef Stew
I had nearly given up on attempting to make beef stew. There had been too many days dreaming of tender, fall apart, beef stew that ended in yet another sad dinner of tough beef, an unimpressive combination of vegetables and broth, and a heavy side of disappointment. Enter the Instant Pot. I heard whispers that […]
Pumpkin Brownies
I have a confession to make: I don’t like pumpkin spice. I’m not talking about the spice blend used in baking pumpkin pie. I mean pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice syrup, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin spice flavored anything. I realize I am in the minority on the pumpkin spice topic and that’s okay. Now for […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Summer days are hot and long and I am grabbing quick bites of fresh produce before I head back to the pool or meet up with friends to enjoy the comfortable summer evenings, long into the night. But there’s something about the fall season that pulls me back to the kitchen every year. Maybe it’s […]
Coconut Almond Granola
Crunchy, chewy, and just a touch of sweetness, Coconut Almond Granola is perfect as a topping or for a snack to munch on.

Cranberry Shortbread Bars
Although the holiday season is over, I’m not quite ready to give up the cranberries! Tart fruits have always been a favorite treat of mine in any form – fresh and eaten solo, as a topping, or baked into a dessert. When I was little, I used to asked for everyone’s lemons at the table […]
Winter White Soup
Cooking with seasonal ingredients always adds an extra element of creativity in the kitchen. With the list of winter’s seasonal ingredients being rather short, this heightened opportunity for creativity led me to this new favorite. I wanted to make something using winter ingredients that would be both completely satisfying and cleansing. Comforting and healing, this […]
Harvest Salad
I have a love/hate relationship with salads. I love how all of the fresh flavors come together in one delicious bite. I hate that I’m starving two hours later! This salad has become the best of both worlds – hearty and fresh. The answer to all of your prayers for a satisfying winter salad has […]
Paleo Apple Crumble
One of the most treasured gifts I received at my bridal shower is a cookbook curated by my mom and sisters. This culinary archive is brimming with the smells of my childhood and the flavors of family favorites. Nothing says “home sweet home, Ohio” like my mom’s Apple Crumble. Here is my take on a […]
