These easy, flavorful tacos are the best! I love to make them on nights when I’m craving tacos (which is most nights… and afternoons, and, well, mornings too come to think of it!) They are so fast and easy to put together. They’re great for serving a big crowd. Just double or triple the recipe…
My last Magic One Pot Pasta recipe was such a hit, I had to create another one to share! This turned out amazing too, and so easy! I know that traditional Pad Thai calls for rice pasta noodles, but I was afraid they wouldn’t hold up for this recipe so I used my favorite, whole…
We recently tried these tasty little nibbles at a favorite local wine bar and they were out of this world. I decided I must recreate them at home, and they turned out fabulous. Serve as a cocktail party appetizer, or as the first course of a more elaborate dinner. I made two or three for…
This is one of my favorite recipes for muffins. They’re insanely moist, wonderfully sweet, grain free, and perfect with my morning cup of tea. If you don’t like the addition of lemon zest, just omit it, but I think it brightens the flavor of the blueberries. I sometimes make a thin glaze for these using…
Making homemade tortilla chips takes a little time, but it’s totally worth it for the flavor reward! They’re so much better than store bought.

Are you ready to experience a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich the way it should always be experienced? Lucky you to have found this post! Seriously, this is the best BLT I’ve ever had because the bacon is thick and woven together into a perfect square so you get bacon in every bite! I included…
Italian comfort food is my favorite kind of comfort food. Beautiful spices, sauces and fragrances that pair perfectly with al dente pasta and a glass of chianti or sangiovese. Pure heaven! Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian and Cacciatora refers to an earthy, stew-like dish that’s prepared “hunter-style.” Cacciatore meals traditionally feature a medley of fresh…
Where did the week go? I’ve been running around pretty much non stop so I guess it’s not really a mystery why it passed by so fast. Lots of wine lunches with friends and jaunts into the cities. I made this awesome pie a few nights ago and the crowd went wild. it’s not a…
Here’s a delicious, easy, one pot pasta recipe that we just love. Seriously! One pot! As the liquid in the pan reduces, the pasta becomes creamy and saucy. Magic! I’ve seen a few different versions of this throughout the years, and I’ve tweaked it to make it my own. Feel free to top it with…
