I find it very fun to turn a dish that’s normally savory into something sweet. You’d be surprised how easily and often this can be done, and how deliciously exotic the results are. I basically did that here with chips and salsa. Another thing you’d be surprised by: how easy it is to make your [...]

Every once in a while (okay, more like very often), I get the urge to bake something. Anything. Even if I only have the ingredients to make something plain and simple, like chocolate chip cookies or cocoa brownies, I’ll do it just to get my baking fix. There’s just something so pleasing and comforting about [...] As I wrote in this post, Italian food may be intimidating to some, but really it’s all about simplicity, few ingredients, but big flavor. This recipe definitely embodies that philosophy. It has eight simple ingredients (two of which I added for some extra flair), takes about 15-20 minutes to make, uses only two pans, and [...] Pear? On a sandwich? And RAW kale?! I’ve always loved food and cooking, but I admit, I haven’t always been as “adventurous” with it as the tagline above indicates. Now, I’ll try just about anything, and that includes mixing sweet and savory, and eating raw kale which I’ve always feared would be too bitter for [...] When you want a healthy sweet treat or dessert, fresh fruit is the way to go.

I actually came up with this dessert when I [...] …Say that five times fast! It sounds complicated, but if you keep a good stash of ingredients from the Asian food aisle in your pantry, this dish is a no-brainer. That, and a little help from the grocery store. When I know I have a busy week ahead of me, I love making a huge [...] My favorite kinds of gifts to give are of the edible kind. The thought and effort that goes into it is enough to make anyone grateful and appreciative. I get just as much enjoyment out of making and giving them as others do from receiving them. So as much as I love baking during this [...] Remember how I said that I recently fell in love with kale, even to the point where I find it addicting? It’s true. My dad made a quick run to the store and he asked if I needed anything, so I told him to get me a head of kale. I ended up going with [...] Contrary to popular belief, pizza can be healthy. A whole wheat crust, olive oil, a little cheese, tons of veggies, and maybe some lean meat, and you’re set. It also doesn’t have to be difficult to make it yourself at home. In fact, you don’t even have to make the dough yourself. You can use [...] |
