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 […]
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 […]
Crunchy, chewy, and just a touch of sweetness, Coconut Almond Granola is perfect as a topping or for a snack to munch on. It’s not overly sweet like most store-bought granola and its toasty, subtle flavor makes it easy to mix and match with yogurt and berries. Although if you’re like me, you’ll be lucky […]
I have India to thank for my love of food and creativity in the kitchen. Four years ago I had the incredible opportunity to travel to India and serve the communities there for a month. That time was life changing for me in many ways. I had never experienced a culture like that before – […]
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 […]

With the list of winter’s seasonal ingredients being rather short, this heightened opportunity for creativity led me to this new favorite.

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 […]
September – delightful agony of transitions, where everything seems to be bittersweet. Slipping out of summer and those bright, zingy flavors and into fall’s roasted and simmered scents and tastes. It’s here, right in the middle of summer and fall tug-of-war that the Cilantro Lime Chicken Soup brings the yummiest compromise of seasons. This is […]
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 & […]
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 […]
