You really can never have too many snackities, ya know? My fridge is always bursting at the seams with muffins and no-bake bites galore. I adore making healthy snacks with oats! When life gives you dates, make no-bake peanut butter granola bars. Not dates as in males. Dates as in medjool. Both types are kind of sticky and annoying, but overall pretty darn sweet in the end. I know you guys probably want to kick me in my hiney when every recipe I post requires a food processor, which I know not everyone owns....

Ingredients and Substitutions The basic ingredients of this sandwich recipe really are just bread and smoked salmon. The whipped goat’s cheese is luscious and the perfect addition but it can easily be substituted with cream cheese, mayo or labneh. The toppings are also versatile, however I can’t ever eat a smoked salmon sandwich without classic flavors like capers and fresh dill and I love the bite red onion adds. Micro greens add a bit of flair and a good squeeze of lemon and crack of pepper finish it all off....

This easy pasta recipe has been a favorite of mine since I first posted it all the way back in 2011.

This spicy squid stir fry, which is called literally in Chinese “fierce squid stir fry”, is one of my favorite ways to enjoy squid. The squid tubes are scored to create grooves, which grab onto the sauce better. It is briefly marinated with Shaoxing wine to eliminate any fishy taste. Then it’s stir fried with plenty of aromatics and crispy vegetables until tender, then finished up with a spicy savory sauce....
