It’s gotta be quick, convenient, and taste good, of course! On the previous edition of the 5 Minute Lunch, we combined sliced deli turkey with crunchy pickles, cool avocado, and creamy hummus in Turkey, Avocado & Hummus Wraps....

Just like Christmas or Holiday Cookies, I usually make Nankhatai when Diwali is approaching to prepare myself in advance for the festivities. You can make them at Christmas or for Diwali, or whenever you crave something sweet. They go perfectly with Tea (Indian Masala Chai) or Coffee for evening snacks. In India, most people prefer eggless sweets & snacks. That is why Nankhatai cookies are made without eggs. Despite being eggless, they still taste perfect....

Seeing as how I completely forgot to pick up Starbuck’s mugs from the last two places I’ve visited, – New York & Denver – to add to my collection, I made sure I was on top of my game when it came to buying one from New Orleans! :D This gem reminds me of the Las Vegas mug in color – dark, chocolate brown – and features a sax player on the front....

Hello from the other side of the holidays! How are you? Ben, our little elves, and I had a wonderful Christmas! Sitting here a couple days after the fact, it’s still hard to believe the holidays are nearly over. They were even more of a blur this year since Cam came right before Halloween – each day since he joined our family has gone by in the blink of an eye....

It almost feels like cheating calling Sausage, Brussels Sprouts and Parmesan Pasta a “recipe” because it’s so simple and straightforward. Regardless, it goes from fridge to table in 20 minutes or less making it perfect for busy weeknights! Cooked pasta is tossed with browned Italian sweet sausage, sauted brussels sprouts, an offensive amount of garlic and freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus tons of cracked black pepper. It’s kind of a mash up of cacio e pepe, this dish, and this dish....

Ben and I started exploring the south a few years ago with a trip to New Orleans. A couple hours in and we were hooked. The food! The culture! We felt like we were in a different country! Last year we became absolutely enamored with Charleston and it was only a matter of time before we booked another ticket to another fabulous southern city. Savannah for the long Labor Day weekend was it....

I’m working on a TDF patio/pool-friendly cocktail to share with you soon and all I can think about when…thinking about it…is how perfectly it would pair with a plate of sizzling grilled chicken, serving bowl of Sesame Noodle Salad, and enormous slice of gluten free angel food cake with tons of cold whipped cream and berries. Add in a warm evening plus a good book and I think I just came up with The Perfect Day?...

A slightly thick and savory tomato broth is brightened and beefed up with lots of fresh basil, and chewy, cheese tortellini. So, so ridiculously easy, and even more delicious....

These past few days have felt extra looooong, for whatever reason, but hey – I am not complaining. ;) My Mom and I kicked the weekend off with a trip to the Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning, natch, but made the rookie mistake of sleeping in an extra 30 minutes and suffered by having to navigate through curb-to-curb crowds when we finally got there. It was madness, I tell you!...

Just don’t send me a nastygram when you lose track of how many Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins you’ve eaten in one sitting. You’ve been warned… Almond Flour Blueberry Muffins are so nice to have on the counter when the kids are “starving” (5 minutes after lunch) and I need something healthier to toss their way without having to get out a cutting board and knife....
