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 […]

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 […]

Happy Whole30
I will start this with saying, Whole30 is worth it. Before my first Whole30 I considered myself to be a “healthy” eater, but Whole30 does not lie! Sticking to Whole30-approved ingredients revealed to me how much I allowed to slip through the cracks of my “healthy” diet. It was wounding to my pride and frustrating […]
Whole30 Berry Crumble
This berry crumble screams both summer and autumn – my two favorite seasons. The combination of warm and toasty roasted pecan, almond, and spiced crumble topping with the juicy and bright summer berries makes the perfect segue from summer to fall. Naturally sweet berries and salty spiced topping is another reason why this sweet & […]
Fresh Summer Pico De Gallo
There is nothing better than good Pico De Gallo. In the spring, I was already dreaming of the fresh, sun-kissed garden tomatoes and jalapeños, and snappy green onions summer gifts us each year. I prepped and planted my very own salsa garden so I could make Pico De Gallo for my friends, family, and anyone who […]
