Mexican-Inspired Warm Garlic Butter Corn Salad with Cotija

June 15, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Mexican-Inspired Warm Garlic Butter Corn Salad with Cotija combines sweet local buttered corn with salty Cotija cheese, fresh cilantro and lime, with a touch of heat from jalapeno and garlic.

I wait all year long for summer foods. Corn on the cob, tomatoes, and peaches, to name a few. Some things just taste 100 times better when they’re local and in-season. My favorite way to eat corn will always be the way I grew up with: steamed with butter and salt. But I love playing with new flavors and Mexican flavors in particular always catch my eye.…

Savory Parmesan-Garlic Crackers {Gluten-Free}

March 2, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

These gluten-free Savory Parmesan-Garlic Crackers are sturdy enough for dipping, and feature a slightly nutty, garlic-Parmesan flavor. I’ve had the same bag of chickpea flour in my pantry for longer than I care to admit; it’s been through several moves (three, I think?) and made into things like Indian Potato Cakes and Smoky Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Herbed Chickpea Dumplings (side note: that soup is one of the most popular soup recipes on my site…plus it’s vegan!)....

Single Serving Low-Carb Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

February 16, 2018 by Faith 3 Comments

Whip up this Single Serving Low-Carb Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Red Pepper Sauce in 20 minutes when you’re craving a lighter, but every bit as satisfying, version of pasta! I was so ridiculously late to the zucchini noodle game that I don’t even know how I dared show up at all. I was so late I thought it in poor taste to even refer to them by their nickname (zoodles!), preferring to keep it more formal in my shame and call them zucchini noodles, lol....

Teriyaki Green Beans

January 19, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Teriyaki Green Beans have all the flavor of your favorite take-out food, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in. Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don’t eat Chinese food. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it; I too am a sucker for savory/sweet foods swimming in sauce. And fried rice. And noodles. What I really mean when I say that I don’t eat Chinese food is that I don’t eat it at restaurants....

Green Beans with Garlic and Golden Raisins (Copycat from Disney’s Boma – Flavors of Africa)

December 8, 2017 by Faith 1 Comment

Green Beans with Garlic and Golden Raisins was inspired by a dish I had at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge called Boma – Flavors of Africa. It’s richly-flavored and slightly nutty with a good balance of sweet and savory. I never thought I’d actually say this, but these are the green beans of my dreams. There is something oddly satisfying about a giant bowl of these, so much that I can make it an entire meal and be sated (umm, so when I say that the recipe serves 2 to 4 people, I guess that’s really more of a guideline because it’s really just 1 if […]...

Warm Cheesy Garlic and Kale Dip

November 24, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

RW Garcia provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Warm Cheesy Garlic and Kale Dip is rich and creamy and loaded with vegetables! Watch it disappear fast off any buffet table. You know a recipe is a success when it’s the first to disappear off the buffet table (twice) at a party. When kids are coming up to you asking when there’s be more of that “cheesy green dip”, and grownups are checking the fridge to see if there’s enough kale to whip up […]...

Garlic Roasted New Potato and Asparagus Salad {#BrunchWeek}

May 10, 2017 by Faith 11 Comments

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #BrunchWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. Garlic Roasted New Potato and Asparagus Salad is a beautiful addition to brunch or a great side dish for any meal. Along with some form of eggs, brunch just doesn’t feel complete without at least one potato dish, so of course I wanted to integrate something featuring potato as the star into Brunch Week....

Oven-Roasted Garlicky Grape Tomatoes and Fancy Toast {Wolf Gourmet Four-Slice Toaster Giveaway Worth $499}

April 17, 2017 by Faith 133 Comments

Oven-Roasted Garlicky Grape Tomatoes combine with creamy burrata and bright-flavored fresh basil for a simple take on fancy toast that’s hard to beat. On a recent trip to the farmers’ market, I couldn’t resist picking up a couple pints of the loveliest grape tomatoes…only to get them home and realize that looks can be deceiving! They were seriously lacking in the flavor department. The only hope I had of salvaging them (and rendering them edible) was to cook them in some way....

Parmesan and Garlic White Bean Patties {Gluten-Free}

March 31, 2017 by Faith 9 Comments

Gluten-free Parmesan and Garlic White Bean Patties feature the flavors of white beans, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil in little nibbles that are perfect for a party or picnic. The beauty of a good little nibble is that it can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. Something you can set out hot at the beginning of a party and not have to worry about reheating an hour later (that is, if there are any left) because a) there isn’t anything in them that you have to worry about spoiling that quickly, and b) they’re every bit as delicious at room temperature as they […]...

Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks {Gluten-Free}

January 9, 2017 by Faith 7 Comments

This gluten-free Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks is rich and velvety and full of fiber and protein! We all know sometimes less is more in life, and I think this can be particularly true when it comes to food. Think about a perfectly ripe summer tomato; the only thing it needs is maybe a sprinkle of salt to be mind-blowing. Or warm fresh baked bread, which can be improved by nothing except a smear of butter. Or creamy vanilla ice cream flecked with specks of vanilla beans and drizzled with hot fudge. So many times simple flavors win out....
