Updated March 26, 2019 Sometimes you need a vacation when you get home from a vacation. I’ve been playing catch up ever since we got back from California. My days have been filled with answering e-mails, laundry, chores, grocery shopping, blog work, and trying to find ways to use our rhubarb. Our four plants exploded while we were on vacation. I don’t want my precious rhubarb to go to waste so I have been making rhubarb recipes like mad....
This powerhouse fruit is simply too good to give up easily if you are not able to spot the good ones from the ones you’d rather pass. With the tips found here, you do not have to hail from Southeast Asia or from central America to pick the good ones. If you are familiar with the appearance of plantains fresh from the tree, knowing how to tell when they are ripe may be easier....
Updated April 05, 2019 Blueberry Lovers Loaf Cake I can never keep up with what our boys will and won’t eat. It changes daily. One day they LOVE something and want to eat it all day long and the next day they won’t touch it. Kids! The boys were both on a major blueberry kick so I stocked up, but then they both decided they didn’t want to eat them....
Updated April 30, 2020 Turn Lemons into Lemon Curd I love it when life gives me lemons because I can make tasty lemon recipes, like this easy Lemon Curd! I know the traditional saying suggests making lemonade, but the next time life gives you a bunch of lemons, make lemon curd instead. You will probably never go back to lemonade unless it is a super hot day and you are thirsty, but I promise you this lemon curd recipe will become a favorite!...
Who else associates Panera’s broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl with adolescence? Or is that just me? I can still smell it. Today’s stellar soup is a tribute to my youth. While my version is a bit less heavy and a bit more veggie-loaded, it’s totally scrumptious in its own right and by no means a compromise. Just like my reader-fave creamy broccoli cauliflower soup, we’re devouring pockets of soft broccoli with juuuust enough creamy, cheesy yum to make it all kinds of comforting....
I made just the right bite-size mini mango cheesecake so you do not feel guilty for gobbling away a couple of these after dinner. I have only recently started to experiment with no-bake cheesecake varieties and decided to try my favorite fruit, mango. I agree to be sent email. With just a couple of trials, I got the creamy consistency a cheesecake ought to have. Another reason for trying these cheesecakes at home is the price tag on a vegan cheesecake pie at the store....
Cookie cookie cookie tiiiiime. Wouldya lookie here! We’re making chocolatey oat flour cookies, my pals. This delish recipe inspired by my friend Angela’s cookies was originally posted way back when in 2016 in honor of Hummusapien’s fifth birthday. There are so many vegan cookies to love on this blog (hello, Chocolate Chip Pomegranate Cookies!) and my Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are the bomb. But these are double chocolate…with salt....
Updated March 26, 2019 Chocolate and orange always reminds me of Christmas-probably because of the big chocolate orange candy we get in our stocking every year. Love those! These orange ricotta cookies are soft and cakey. After they cool, you spread each cookie with an orange glaze and drizzle them with dark chocolate. If you like orange and dark chocolate together, I have a feeling you will love these cookies....

Shrimp Taco Recipes Shrimp tacos are one of our go-to for easy meals. They are always delicious, satisfying and a crowd favorite. Shrimp Salad Recipes Shrimp is such a versatile protein and works in a variety of salads. From fresh and light to super easy pasta salads, you’ll love these delicious recipes....
If you love festive desserts, our Pull Apart Christmas Wreath is a must-make! Pavlova in any way, shape or form is a showstopper. And I have yet to find a single person who doesn’t love its marshmallowy, chewy texture topped with clouds of whipped cream and fresh fruit. It’s just a beauty. And also pretty much always on my Christmas menu in this form. Making a wreath out of the meringue is not tricky and gives you the most beautiful end result, especially topped with red berries and fresh mint....
Updated March 26, 2019 I grew up in a small town in Illinois, actually it isn’t even a town, it is a village. On main street, there is one small cafe, a dentist office, post office, library, and that’s about it. There is not even a stop light. My graduating class had about 60 students. Everyone knows everyone. We lived in the country, about seven miles from “town.” We looked forward to going back to school so we could see our friends....
Updated April 28, 2011 Well, when in doubt, turn to Dorie. She has all of the answers. I decided to make her Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chipsters. Every time I get out BFMHTY, I turn to that page and wish I could bake them. Technically, I could bake them anytime, but that would mean me eating them ALL and that is not necessary:) So, I am glad I finally had a good “excuse” to try these cookies....
Updated October 03, 2023 Have you tried a green smoothie yet? I shared one of my favorite green smoothie recipes a few weeks ago, so I hope you all tried it:) I make a green smoothie almost every day. I am kind of addicted. I keep playing around with the ingredients and I have come up with some winning green smoothie recipes. I really love this Pineapple Mango Green Smoothie....
Hi, just here to confirm that pumpkin hot cocoa is a thing. A BIG THING! My question is this. Why oh why aren’t we throwing our extra pumpkin puree into hot chocolate? It’s like my beloved Healthy Hot Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie Smoothie had a baby. She’s sooooo good. Chocolate and pumpkin is nothing new here. We all know it’s fantabulous, as evidenced by the chocolate chips bedazzling these Pumpkin Brownies and this Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal....

Published on January 11, 2013 Move over macaroni because quinoa is in town and taking over this mac and cheese. I know this recipe is called Quinoa Spinach MAC and Cheese, but there is no macaroni involved. Don’t be sad, you won’t miss the macaroni. I promise. When I saw Carrie’s recipe on Tasty Kitchen, I knew I had to make it for dinner. It had my name written all over it....
Updated March 26, 2019 Life is beyond busy right now. I feel like I am running around in circles and never get a minute to catch my breath. I am not complaining because I like being busy, especially with fun stuff like our house, the boys, the blog, etc. but I am tired. Some days I don’t know if I will make it, but then I get a smile from Maxwell or hug from Caleb and I keep going....
Updated April 28, 2011 You have to start the pre-frermentee the night before. And make sure you allow plenty of time for raising, baking, etc. If you don’t have Peter’s book, I suggest you get it. He gives TONS of helpful hints for bread baking…and the recipes are fabulous! We made two large baguettes because we wanted to make sandwiches. You can make three small ones though. You are supposed to let the bread cool before slicing, but my dad can never wait....
Updated July 03, 2019 Father’s Day is on Sunday and if you are looking for a quick and easy recipe to make for Dad, give our Sausage and Pepper Skewers a try! Josh makes these grilled sausage and veggie skewers all summer long. It is one of his favorite meals. He usually does all of the work, but this Sunday we will be making them for Josh! Ok, Caleb probably won’t help, but I am sure he would love to have a sword fight with the skewers, if I let him:)...
Updated March 26, 2019 One pot, one skillet, and sheet pan meals are all the rage right now. I understand why because they are all easy peasy. And when it comes to dinner time, easy is important, especially during the week. I am always trying out new dinner recipes that are easy, family friendly, and delicious…for my family and for yours:) My boys are currently loving this Sheet Pan Pan Lemon Thyme Chicken with Smoked Paprika Potatoes....
