I was looking for some way to brighten up yet another gray February day, when I happened upon this sunshine-bright Citrus Salad with Lemongrass Syrup from Kitchn (my new favorite food blog). There’s so much delicious citrus being harvested on the West Coast right now, and no time like the present to take advantage of [...]

A good casserole can be a girl’s best friend. Do a little prep, pop it in the oven, and you and your family can eat for a week. But, so many casserole recipes are filed with an excess of ground meat, high-fat cheese, and calorie-laden carbs. A healthy, tasty, and satisfying casserole recipe can be [...]

I’ve been working on making a special cocktail for my sweetie this Valentine’s Day. It has to be special, and of course, it has to be red! So, I’m going with this Tart Cherry and Tarragon Chiller.

A brilliant red color, this fruit-forward autumnal beverage is filled with festive flavors from fresh slices of apples, pears, and plums as well as sprigs of fresh rosemary. Combining sparkling white wine and rich Chianti, this drink is elegant and [...]

Much to Ben’s chagrin, I try not to serve pizza for dinner on a regular basis, but when I do, I always make sure I serve a side salad along with it so that I can at least claim to be serving a “healthy” dinner. Unfortunately, more often than not, that salad goes uneaten, [...]

I was paging through my copy of Cooking with Paula Deen magazine when I happened upon these mini muffins and immediately thought—hold the phone! These seemed just too cute. And of course, they’re “mini,” which makes them perfect if you’re concerned about portion control. So, I got out my mixing bowl and whipped up a [...]
