I don’t know about you, but I LOVE pasta salad! It is the perfect spring or summer side-dish! However, it can be really challenging to find one that tastes just right. Ya know? For years I have tried to make the one on the back of pasta boxes taste good, but something was always off. […]

I absolutely love spring! There is just something about seeing all of the fresh blooms, the longer days, and the holidays! Spring holidays are so underrated, in my opinion. Holidays in my house = lots of good food! I love a good Easter lunch, Mother’s Day brunch, and Memorial Day picnic! This carrot cake with […]

I will be the first to admit it… This combination is a little weird! But, it works so well! I love the versatility of this skillet pizza casserole. You can add any veggie or pizza topping to it! I kept mine plain – just using cheese and pepperoni. But, the options are endless! You could […]

I have never been a huge fan of oatmeal. It certainly is not my go-to breakfast. However, I was very intrigued when I saw the baked oatmeal trend. I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed! In fact, I ended up eating my first attempt straight out of the pan. This […]

Promise me you will not look at the ingredients to these almond butter brownies and run the other way! The first time I made these, I practically held my breath the entire time… zucchini in a brownie? I worried that I had gone too far. Putting zucchini in dessert probably means that you have reached […]

This chocolate chip skillet cookie is gooey, chocolatey, and cakey! It is the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day, or just if you are craving cookies. I love to enjoy it heated up with a little bit of ice cream! This makes one giant, fluffy chocolate chip skillet cookie. If you have more people, you could […]

I have never been a huge fan of chicken fried rice. The main reason is that I hate peas. I decided to whip up a pea-less version, and it turned out so good! The first time I made this, it was just fried rice. At the last minute, I added a few Trader Joe’s cilantro […]
