So what if I told you that you could indulge in creamy, lemony pasta with zero guilt? Well, you can. There are a few ways to tailor this recipe so you won’t have to worry about “bad” carbs or “bad” fats. It’s true. The way I like to make this for myself is to use…
Ohmygosh. Do you LOVE the delicious salads you can get at Sprouts Farmers Market? I’ve only had a select few because we don’t have this awesome market here in Minnesota. I do like to visit them when we’re on vacation though. Come to Minnesota, Sprouts! This is one of those addictive salads that I crave…
I was craving something really lemony and rich to go with my tea yesterday so I made one of these easy, lemon drizzle cakes. Italians are known for their citrusy olive oil cakes, and this one is absolutely gorgeous. So delicious, with minimal ingredients. It’s not too terribly sweet, and the tart lemon drizzle balances…
I love making pies all year round. Spicy, apple and pumpkin pies in the fall, pecan and mincemeat for Christmas, pies bursting with fruit during the summer months… unless it’s too hot to bake. When it’s too hot to bake I like creamy, cool pies that don’t require any baking. Pies like my No-Bake Blueberries…

One after the other. I’ve stopped a couple mid book. Just couldn’t get into them for whatever reason. There…
Here’s a delicious ranch dressing I created especially for a new fish taco recipe. I wanted something herby, lemony, and ranchy to mix with my slaw. Ohmygosh. This is fantastic. Serve it on salads, as a veggie dip, or in place of tartar sauce! Delish! 1/2 cup real mayonnaise 1/3 cup parmesan cheese (powdered or…
I hadn’t made an icebox cake in awhile and I thought something strawberry lemonade would be just the thing to serve as the “grand finale” for our back yard BBQ this weekend. It was so ridiculously easy to prepare and SO delicious. If you can’t find the Lemon Cream Oreos, never fear, simply use the…
This is a beautiful, dreamy, lemony, creamy cocktail that I created featuring my favorite: limoncello. Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur that is produced in Southern Italy almost exclusively in the regions of Naples, the island of Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
