I’ve taken to calling our kitten (Elsa) butternut-butt. What can I say? It’s catchy and she’s a butternut fiend....
Skinny Raspberry-Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshakes
How about a berry cheesecake milkshake for breakfast?, I enticed Mike one Saturday morning. Cheesecake-flavored anything is his favorite; combine it with berries and he’s in heaven. Needless to say, he was pretty excited about breakfast that day. That is, until he saw me add cottage cheese to the blender in a moment of inspiration....
No-Noodle Zucchini Lasagna {Vegetarian; Lactose-Free}
So, here it is, friends… A pasta-free meal for pasta lovers that’s sure to satisfy even the most hardcore carb cravings....
Sparkling Citrus Pineapple Ginger “Sangria” Mocktail
The only kind of juice Mike likes is carrot. I don’t like to make it for him every day (a friend of a friend’s cousin’s mom swears that her baby turned orangish from feeding her carrots every day!), but I make him a fresh glass of it a couple times a week in the morning when I make my own juice blend....
One-Skillet Chicken and Summer Squash Sauté {Paleo}
What is your favorite recipe using zucchini? Muffins, breaded and fried, or stuffed, maybe? This recipe is always a crowd-pleaser, and really lets the flavor of zucchini shine…...
Vanilla Pineapple Popsicles {Popsicle Week}
A while ago when my friend brought me back wood apples from Sri Lanka, she also brought me another sweet treat: pineapple! If you’ve never had Sri Lankan pineapple, it is surprisingly quite different from Hawaiian pineapple. Fresh, ripe Sri Lankan pineapple is sweeter and has a deeper pineapple flavor than Hawaiian pineapple. Sri Lankan pineapple still has the pleasant sweet/sour taste that Hawaiian pineapple has, but with less of a tart tang and more of a sweet, natural concentrated pineapple flavor....
Falafel-Spiced Roasted Chickpea Salad with Tahini Dressing
Like spring cleaning for the house, I know quite a few people who do an annual detox every spring. I’ve done one for the past three years, usually around the beginning of April, but this year I’m a little late (yeah, oops). Being in Kuwait and having the weather already feel like the hottest part of summer back home, it just doesn’t feel like it’s time for a spring detox....
Lentil Soup with Spinach and Mini Chicken Meatballs {Gluten-Free}
Sometimes spring is obvious (like when temps go from 35 degrees to 55 degrees overnight and melt three feet of snow), and sometimes it isn’t quite so obvious (like when temps raise just a degree or two over the span of an entire month). And then there are times when spring needs a little coaxing…like when it snows two feet in the span of two days at the end of March/beginning of April....

Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake {Paleo}
This paleo Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake has rich chocolaty flavor and great texture! It’s saved me time and time again when I just want a little something sweet without eating junk food. Like I mentioned when I told you about my Chocolate Cupcakes for Two, I’m kind-of particular about my cake. (As Mike likes to tell me, I’m kind-of particular about a lot of food-related stuff, but that remains to be proven and is an entirely different discussion for another day.) Anyway. I don’t think there is anything more disappointing than seeing an absolutely stunning cake and then sinking your teeth into what you think will […]...
