This Crispy Potato Skins Recipe has two types of cheese, bacon, and scallions, and is a flavorful appetizer for any occasion. With inspiration from jalapeno poppers, these potato skins also have jalapenos, which you can easily adjust (or omit) to suit your taste preference. I’m a pretty big wuss when it comes to spicy food. What the Pakistani guy at our favorite local restaurant calls “medium” is my absolute limit. And even then I can only get down a bowl of their curry if I have a loaf of their fresh bread in my hand to eat intermittently. Total wimp, I know. (But dang, they […]...
Paleo Cranberry Bread Recipe
This Paleo Cranberry Bread Recipe yields a moist, flavorful loaf with the perfect amount of sweetness to balance fresh cranberries, plus toasted pecans for a nutty crunch! Cranberry is one of my favorite winter fruits. Yes, it’s tart, and yes, you can’t just sit down and enjoy a bowlful of cranberries the way you would cherries or blueberries. (Or maybe you could, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing that!)...
Lemon Almond Cake Recipe (Paleo)
This paleo Lemon Almond Cake Recipe has a dense, but moist and tender crumb, and is sweetly aromatic with vanilla and lemon. When I was younger, I hated any and all lemon-flavored desserts with a passion. Lemon bars, lemon meltaway cookies, and even lemon meringue pie were all on my “avoid at all costs list”. (But oddly enough, I was a big fan of super sour lemon-flavored WarHeads candy – does anyone else remember those? Incidentally, I consider this proof positive that there is no rhyme or reason to kids’ tastes.)...
Spicy Blue Cheese Celery Slaw
Spicy Blue Cheese Celery Slaw features the crunch of celery in a creamy dressing with a punch of heat from Frank’s RedHot and the tangy flavor of blue cheese. It’s perfect served with Buffalo wings or Buffalo Chicken Burgers! When I was younger I hated celery with a purple passion, lol. As the perfect vessel for things like peanut butter, cream cheese, or French onion dip, celery is such an odd vegetable to hate on. But I wouldn’t have been caught dead munching a celery stick. Not even along with a chicken wing and blue cheese for dipping!...
Borscht Recipe (Russian-Style Beet Soup)
The flavor of this Borscht Recipe (Russian-Style Beet Soup) is bright and complex, beautifully sweet and sour. The natural sweetness from beets and carrots balance a splash of red wine vinegar added at the end. Beef makes it hearty and filling, and potato and hint of tomato paste add depth and thicken the broth slightly. Until I made this soup, I have never had Borscht in my life, which is strange because my dad has Russian roots. But what’s even stranger is that I had been craving this soup for a good month before I caved in and made it!...
Mediterranean Bean Salad Recipe
In this Mediterranean Bean Salad Recipe, savory herbs, tangy lemon, and fresh vegetables brighten up the flavor of canned butter beans, and feta cheese and kalamata olives pack a punch! I’m a big fan of bold flavors. Raw onion. Fresh dill. Kalamata olives. Feta. Garlic (although that’s not in this recipe)....
Cinnamon Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
This Cinnamon Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding recipe was inspired by a favorite diner dessert: cinnamon rice pudding! It has a texture similar to tapioca pudding, and just 2g net carbs per serving, making it a delicious keto dessert. Have you tried chia seeds yet? I first had them sprinkled on a salad a couple years ago. They are delicious with a subtle nutty flavor, and they’re really versatile. Chia seeds work well in smoothies, oatmeal, and some baked goods recipes. For the past year or so, I’ve been seeing chia seed pudding all over the place and I decided it was finally time to try […]...
Nutella Pudding Recipe
This velvety smooth Nutella Pudding Recipe is rich with the delicious flavor paring of chocolate and hazelnut, and so easy to make on the stovetop! Last week Mike and I celebrated our anniversary. Don’t worry, I’m not about to get all sappy on you. I’ll keep it food-related, lol....
Gulaschsuppe (German Goulash Soup)
Gulaschsuppe (German Goulash Soup) is a rich beef soup that’s spiced with paprika and seasoned with thyme, caraway, marjoram, onion, and garlic. Ithaca, NY, which is located on the southern end of Cayuga Lake in New York’s Finger Lake region, is one of the quaintest little towns I know of. While the name Ithaca may not be familiar right away, it might ring a bell when you hear that it is home to Cornell University....
Italian Broccoli (Spicy Garlic Broccoli Recipe)
Italian Broccoli is garlicky with a touch of spicy heat and toasted flavor that comes from browning the broccoli in extra-virgin olive oil. It might become your favorite new way to make broccoli! Looking at my photos (especially the older one; scroll down to the bottom of this post to see it), you might think I overcooked the broccoli, lol! But hear me out, there’s a method to my madness, I promise....
