Pork tenderloin is incredible when prepared well. And by that, I mean it should not be the least bit overcooked, but still pink on the interior. Because it is a lean cut of meat, spice rubs and marinades are a great way to add some flavor. I’m a big fan of fennel, and when it’s […]
Pao de Queijo Recipe | Brazilian Cheese Rolls
I’ve been meaning to post this recipe for ages and ages. There’s a good reason why I haven’t, which will become apparent in a second. My husband’s cousin shared her amazing Pao de Queijo Recipe with me a few years ago. When I make them, they disappear faster than I can bake them. Everyone loves these […]
Sauteed Green Beans with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
I’m always looking for easy side dishes that can double as a main dish. I don’t eat meat much anymore, if ever, so I like to make a side dish that can be my main dish. These sautéed green beans are just the versatile side/main to fit the bill. I like to use fresh haricot […]
Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Rosemary Sea Salt
I’m totally in love with sweet potato fries. I’m trying really hard to swap out regular potatoes for sweet potatoes whenever I can. It’s the smaller healthier choices that add up. This recipe is pretty straightforward, just like you’d make any kind of oven fries. The thing that makes them a little more special is […]
Spiced Candied Orange Peel
I’ve been meaning to share this recipe for Spiced Candied Orange Peel with you since November. November. That was…two months ago! Can you believe it? The days are flying by. So, you might think this is a holiday recipe, and it is, my friends, but it is also a good anytime recipe. Citrus is plentiful […]

Gluten-Free Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce
Sometimes there are foods that we love so much, but have never made at home. Gluten-Free Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce is one such food. Up until I married my husband, I would have never touched the stuff. Dates? I would totally wrinkle my nose and tell you that only my grandmother and […]
Winter Trail Mix
I love a good trail mix loaded with nuts, dried fruit, and more importantly, chocolate. This Winter Trail Mix is a fun twist on a classic trail mix. I’ve added some of my very favorites to make a festive mix that’s perfect for the holidays. Perfect for munching, crunching, or giving as a gift to […]
Aran Goyoaga’s Hazelnut Butter Toffee
I just finished stocking my baking cupboard with more nuts. It’s amazing how quickly I go through them! I love putting a handful into my smoothies or grabbing some for a quick snack on the way out the door. There’s always a sprinkling of nuts on my salads or bowl of oatmeal. Hazelnuts are one […]
Chai Spiced Snowball Cookies (Gluten-Free and Vegan)
Thanks to Pamela’s for sponsoring this post. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices – a close second to cumin. During the holidays I amp up my use of cardamom because it not only feels appropriate, but necessary. :) These Chai Spiced Snowball Cookies are flavored with a good dose of both ground cardamom and […]
