I meannnnnn. I’ve never been a huge sports fan. And when I say huge I mean tiny, because I’m not even a teensy weensy sports fan. I love the things that are associated with sporting events, like tailgating and friends and Blue Moon with orange slices and chanting and cheesy things and dancing and collegiate pride. But basically, eating. And drinking.

I love the wonderful aromatics that always hit you front and center when you walk into a Thai restaurant. They tingle all the senses with spicy, sweet, fragrant, and exotic notes all at once. And when you eat Thai food, you have the textural sensations to go along with the flavors. It’s really such a beautiful style of cuisine. Thai cooking seems to really intimidate people which is why I’m sharing my easy Thai basil chicken recipe....

Published on January 17, 2022 Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie- mushrooms, carrots, peas, and corn covered in a rich gravy and topped with creamy garlic mashed potatoes. This vegetarian take on the traditional Shepherd’s pie is satisfying and delicious. Traditionally, shepherd’s pie is a rustic casserole made with a mixture of ground meat and vegetables topped with pillowy mashed potatoes and baked in the oven. Well, this vegetarian version has all of the classic flavors, but instead of using meat, it’s made with extra hearty vegetables that get cooked in a rich gravy that is full of flavor....

With the summer season coming at us in full swing, this is the best time to get the juiciest and sweetest melons. But instead of throwing away all the rind, there are some interesting ways to capture the nutrients that go with them. I am excited to share a delicious recipe from something that is normally thrown away…Watermelon rind! But this isn’t as uncommon as you think, but definitely a seasonal thing....

Updated April 28, 2011 I wasn’t sure how the whole wheat flour would affect the cookies, but they turned out great! I think I love these even more than my standard recipe. The cookies were crisp on the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. The whole wheat flour added a slight nutty and wholesome flavor. Josh wasn’t home when I baked these, so I asked him to guess the “secret ingredient....

Updated March 26, 2019 It is a whirlwhind week for us. We got back from Illinois last night and picked up our dear friend Helene (Tartelette) at the airport. She is teaching a food photography and food styling workshop in Salt Lake City today. I am so excited! Tomorrow we are going to the EVO Conference in Park City. It is a busy week, but a fun one. I don’t even have to unpack from our trip:) Last week, before our travel madness began, Josh woke up early and made me Whole Wheat Raspberry & Mango Pancakes for breakfast....

It is the time of the year when outdoor grills are dusted off so we can host social grilling gatherings. Whether a quick family lunch on the deck or an outdoor backyard dinner with lots of friends, it’s just something most (if not all) of us look forward to every summer. To make this year even more memorable, why not put a twist on the usual, somehow-too-familiar barbecue and grilling recipes?...

There’s nothing like waking up to Bubba’s melt-worthy smile and juicy cheeks every morning. Love has an entirely new meaning to me now; and I couldn’t be more grateful to be this special guy’s mama. My favorite thing to do with Max lately is sneak in an afternoon nap cuddled up with him on the couch or outside. We were pretty adamant about him napping in the crib early on to establish a good routine, but I truly cherish our snuggles now!...

Char siu pork, or Cantonese BBQ pork, is a classic dish that’s so well loved. You’ll see it served as a cold cut on the classic Cantonese BBQ platter at a dim sum restaurant, packed into rich, juicy char siu buns, cooked into flavorful crispy char siu fried noodles, or accenting scrumptious char siu fried rice. Did you know this meat is actually super easy to make at home? Why air fryer char siu pork I’ve shared the oven roasted char siu pork in the past....

After I prepared them back to back, I even had leftovers that came in handy as a side for lunch....

Although I always recommend cooking from scratch, the reality is that many of us don’t have the time to cook dishes like pot pies from scratch during the week. That’s where frozen pot pies come in so handy. When you want a comforting meal in less than 20 minutes, why wouldn’t you grab a frozen pie from the grocery store? And cooking frozen pot pies in the air fryer is so much quicker and easier than cooking them in the oven....

Updated March 26, 2019 I didn’t mean this week to be all about breakfast, but it just sort of happened. First, I shared a recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake-yes, you can eat this cake for breakfast.
