Sweet and Savory Quinoa Pilaf with Cranberries, Roasted Butternut, and Toasted Almonds {Giveaway}

October 20, 2017 by Faith 38 Comments

Zoup! 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.

Sweet and Savory Quinoa Pilaf with Cranberries, Roasted Butternut, and Toasted Almonds is packed with flavor and nutrition, and is the perfect addition to any holiday spread or fall gathering.

We all have our classic holiday side dish standbys. Green bean casserole, candied yams, and buttery mashed potatoes, to name just a few of my family’s favorites. I’ll occasionally do a rice dish (typically a pilaf) of some kind, and just to mix things up, I thought why not a quinoa pilaf?…

Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) {Lagostina 5-Quart Casserole Giveaway}

March 20, 2017 by Faith 77 Comments

Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) is an uncomplicated, unpretentious, and completely satisfying vegan dish of chickpeas cooked until meltingly tender in an aromatic tomato-based sauce redolent with garlic, ginger, and exotic spices. I still remember the first Indian meal I ever had. I was a freshman at college and I was a little skeptical, mostly because I thought I didn’t like spicy food. But honestly, back then I didn’t really understand the difference between a well-spiced dish vs a spicy-hot dish. I was about to get schooled....

Paleo Hello Dollies Cookie Bars {Wolf Gourmet Countertop Oven Giveaway Worth $700}

December 9, 2016 by Faith 94 Comments

Paleo Hello Dollies Cookie Bars are a healthier take on a classic favorite cookie bar without sacrificing flavor! For most of us, holiday time means baking, and we usually have a few specific cookie recipes that get made several times each season. Surprisingly, I don’t do a ton of holiday baking, but my mom’s favorites to make on rotation (when she has the time for holiday baking!) are frosted and decorated Christmas Cutouts, Butterballs (also called Russian Tea Cakes, Mexican Wedding Cakes, and Snowball Cookies), and Schnecken (which are similar to Rugelach, but are made with sour cream instead of cream cheese). And then every […]...

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce {Wolf Gourmet Blender Giveaway with a Retail Value of $599.95}

September 5, 2016 by Faith 115 Comments

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce is sweet and tangy with a touch of spicy heat. I used to think that most people either fall into the creamy condiment camp (like mayo) or the sweet/tangy condiment camp (like ketchup, honey mustard, and BBQ sauce). That’s because until about five years ago when I discovered the bliss that is homemade mayo (not to mention how insanely easy it is to make), mayo just wasn’t my thing....

Sautéed Leeks with Sweet Green Peas, Sumac, and Honey {Giveaway}

April 4, 2016 by Faith 126 Comments

Sautéed Leeks with Sweet Green Peas, Sumac, and Honey is a subtly sweet and slightly tangy spring side dish. Every trip I’ve made to the grocery store since mid-March I’ve asked the patient produce employees at Wegmans when they’ll have fiddlehead ferns in. And every week it’s the same response: It should be soon now!...

Korean Barbeque Beef (Bulgogi) Recipe {Plus a Q&A with Celebrity Chef Thomas Gosney and a Giveaway of His Cookbook}

September 25, 2015 by Faith 13 Comments

This paleo version of Korean Barbeque Beef (Bulgogi) is super flavorful and comes together fast enough for a weeknight dinner. I can’t remember whether or not my mom consciously taught me how to cook. I think it was more a case of her cooking family dinners for us every single night (on weeknights things like fish, broccoli, and rice or beef goulash or BBQ chicken with pasta salad and greens beans, and on weekends things like roast chicken or pot roast), and me watching her in the kitchen. Of course I also learned from a variety of other sources (TV, magazines, friends, etc.), but I […]...

Sesame-Soy Arrowroot Noodles with Stir-Fried Vegetables {Plus a Q&A with GoMacro Founder and a MacroBar Giveaway}

June 24, 2015 by Faith 41 Comments

We all know that being active is part of a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes, however, it feels like a catch-22 when you and your family are so active that you’re always on-the-go and there isn’t even time to cook a healthy meal. Which is, of course, why so many people resort to the drive thru. I have a different take on fast food....

Fashion Meets Comfort in Albion’s High-Performance Fitness Wear {$150 Gift Card Giveaway}

December 4, 2013 by Faith 170 Comments

I have a confession. In my world, comfort trumps fashion at least 85% of the time and if left to my own devices, I would live in my comfy workout clothes 24/7. Phew. So glad to get that off my chest. :) That’s why I was tickled pink when I recently found out about Albion Fit’s line of beautiful and comfortable high-performance fitness wear. I’d call that the best of both worlds. I was thrilled at the opportunity to try a few of their beautiful pieces for myself, and to host a giveaway for a $150 Albion Fit Gift Card! With Christmas right around the […]...

You are in for a real treat today because I’m sharing my review of Nancy’s beautiful food photography eBook Yummy Pics! Have you looked back through my archives at my first posts? Focusing in particular on the pictures? (Ironic that I use the word focus, since it seems like I didn’t know about that feature of the camera back then…true story, lol.) Take a look back, and you’ll be amazed at the evolution of […]...

Festive Fall Salad with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing {And a #GivingTuesday Giveaway}

November 27, 2012 by Faith 20 Comments

Salads are one of the best ways to enjoy seasonal produce. This time of year I like including things like fresh apple, pear, pomegranate arils, dried cranberries, walnuts, cheese, and/or diced turkey. The combinations are just about endless....
