Ingredients Onion. I used red onions but any onion can be used. Fresh garlic cloves. Sundried tomatoes. I use sundried tomatoes in oil. Baby spinach. Orzo pasta. Any pasta rice can be substituted. Use gluten-free orzo/pasta rice if required. Chicken stock/chicken broth. Fresh basil. Other fresh herbs like parsley, oregano or thyme can be used instead. Chicken thighs. Any bone-in cut of chicken will work for this recipe. Salt and black pepper....

Published on December 30, 2015 First of all, you might have noticed that we have a NEW look! YAY! I will talk more about the new site on Friday, but we hope you like what you see so far! It’s the end of the year and that means it is time to share the Top 10 Recipes of 2015! In the past, we’ve shared the top 10 recipes on our site, but this year we wanted to focus on 2015....

I made three loaves of this before I was happy enough to share the recipe. I won’t be grating another zucchini for a hot minute, I’ll tell ya that! A twist on my incredible Vegan Banana Bread, you’re going to be obsessed. This epic loaf is double chocolatey (hi, cocoa powder and chocolate chips), perfectly sweet, super moist from the banana and coconut oil, and crazy satisfying. Don’t miss all my Healthy Banana Recipes!...

Honey, I’m home! Guess where I was as I wrote this post at 5:05pm on a lovely Tuesday evening. I was sitting at the Toronto airport. That doesn’t sound too terrible, does it? After approximately 20 hours of flying and sitting and flying and sitting some more, our flight back to Columbus was delayed. Four times. Then cancelled. Till 24 hours later. Then delayed. Then delayed again for literally the sixth time....

Pork belly is a rich, fatty cut of meat so I always tend to want to serve it with at least one bright, zesty side dish to cut through the richness. However, side dishes like mashed potatoes, cauliflower cheese and broccoli casserole are also all absolutely delicious and make this versatile protein a meal to remember. It also depends on how you’ll be serving the pork belly. If you’re serving it roasted whole like my Salt & Pepper Pork Belly recipe, I would suggest serving it alongside classic roast dinner sides like roasted potatoes, carrots and green beans....

It never ceases to bamboozle me what one can do with a humble ripe nanner. I may be known for a killer healthy banana recipe, but mashing that spotty, somewhat sad guy on the counter and transforming him into french toast Prince Charming has gotta some of my best magic yet. Would you believe me if I said you don’t even need milk here? Just some gorgeous challah, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and the secret flavor weapon from my apple french toast casserole…almond extract....

Let’s be honest…my commitment to watching the super bowl is highly dependent on the snack offerings. I want hot, bubbly dips, crunchy chips, hearty chili, and of course something sweet during commercials. Oh wait, is there a game on? The good news is that all your favorite game day comfort foods can totally be vegetarian. And not just veg, but also mega packed with flavor. I swear you won’t miss the meat!...

Ingredients and Substitutions Boneless pork chops. You can ask the butcher to de-bone pork chops for you. You can use bone-in pork chops but it makes for harder eating. For the breading: flour, eggs and bread crumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are a great option but feel free to substitute with corn flake crumbs or Italian breadcrumbs. Seasoning: Garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Onion powder, ground mustard and herbs like oregano, thyme or sage are also delicious with pork....

Updated July 05, 2019 Happy 4th of July! Today, I am sharing one of my favorite summer recipes, Basil Vinaigrette. It takes about five minutes to make and goes great on just about everything. I use it mostly as a salad dressing, but it is also great on vegetables, chicken, fish, and pasta. During the summer, I keep this Basil Vinaigrette in the fridge at all times because it seriously makes everything better!...

But now I am obsessed with its earthy flavour and I don’t even mind the stain it leaves on my fingers after I’ve roughly pushed the soft, roasted skins off of the purple orbs. And in this tarte tatin, the beautiful beetroot comes alive. The obvious partner for beetroot is soft, tangy goat’s cheese and so, I mixed a fresh Chevin with a little Mascarpone to create a lovely, creamy accompaniment to the tart (similar to what I did for my Tomato Tarte Tatin with Goat’s cheese Crème)....

Updated March 26, 2019 I am really sick of winter. It has been cold and dreary for too long. I know it is only January and I live in Utah, so I have a few months to go:( To help lift my spirits, I made this Black Bean, Avocado, and Mango Salad with Cilantro and Lime. This salad reminds me of summer. I love all of the bright colors and fresh ingredients....

Updated March 26, 2019 We’ve had a busy week in the kitchen. We are working on a photography project for a client and have been cooking up a storm! Josh and I have a good system down. We make the recipes together, I take pictures while Josh cleans up and preps for the next recipe. Josh deserves a gold star for doing so many dishes:) We made and shot seven recipes in one day....

Updated March 26, 2019 We always serve my dad’s famous Potato Rolls at our Thanksgiving feast. We usually make a batch of plain potato rolls and Rosemary Potato Rolls. This year we will stick with tradition and enjoy potato rolls, but we might make a batch of Cheddar Sage Biscuits as well. Who’s counting carbs on Thanksgiving? Not us! We made these biscuits for a “pre-Thanksgviing” celebration with friends and they were a big hit....

I’m a big fan of covering vegetables in creamy cheese sauce and baking until golden brown. But something tells me that pretty much no person on Earth would be against that. Right? I mean, even the most hatiest (totally a word) vegetable haters will love this glorious cheesy broccoli casserole or bake. Not only is it absolutely delicious but it’s also SO easy to make. This isn’t a classic broccoli casserole filled with mayonnaise, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and topped with ritz crackers....

Updated March 26, 2019 I like watching football. I would even consider myself a football fan. I grew up watching football with my dad and it’s always been a part of my life. Josh doesn’t like football, he LOVES it. I knew this when we started dating, but it didn’t really sink in until we were married. We don’t just watch football on the weekends. We watch football on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night....
