With artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, this Mediterranean Pasta Salad Recipe is packed with flavor for the perfect 20 minute side dish!
Most of us already have a favorite pasta salad in our cooking repertoire. But do you have the perfect pasta salad that you can whip up for any summer party, picnic, or BBQ?
I definitely didn’t before this!…
The floral flavor of rose is balanced by the earthy sweetness of vanilla and rooibos in this caffeine free Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos. Normally I’m not a huge fan of floral flavors like rose or lavender, but this Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos is surprisingly mellow. The addition of cream helps with that, and the vanilla and rooibos add complexity. It’s a feminine drink with a surprising balance of earthy and floral flavors and creamy texture. You can use a little beet root powder food coloring if you want to make it pink....
Paleo and vegan-friendly Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy way to satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings. A friend recently informed me that use of the term “fall” interchangeably with “autumn” is regarded as somewhat savage by non-Americans. I didn’t believe her at first because use of the term savage regarding something so trivial seemed a bit, well, savage to me, lol. It turns out, she’s right though....
Paleo Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds is a delicious grain-free side dish that comes together easily and pairs well with any number of things. My husband is a real meat and potatoes man; and when I say meat, anything will do except pork (which we don’t eat), and by potatoes I mean starch of any kind (usually some form of pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes). You can imagine my surprise when he told me earlier this year that he wanted to cut way back on starchy foods as well as sugar! I was as happy as a lark, armed with low-carb versions […]...
This Red Lentil Bolognese recipe is vegan-friendly and packed with flavor and nutrition! Toss it with pasta or zucchini noodles, or serve it on top of grilled chicken. This dish is a little nostalgic for me, but not in the way you’d expect....
Even though I don’t usually share their sentiments, I can at least understand how some veggies fall into the “eww” category for some people…...
I know, I know… ‘Tis the season for festive foods…and festive typically leans more toward the side of indulgent descriptions like gooey, buttery, or chocolatey. So what’s the deal with this low-carb dish?...
This sweet and creamy Pina Colada Smoothie recipe is a delicious, healthy mocktail style smoothie, and it’s easy to make into a cocktail with a little rum! Who doesn’t love a good Piña Colada, right? It’s a sweet fruity taste of the tropics that will transport you to a virtual paradise. This drink was invented in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the 1950’s. And the first sip of a Pina Colada takes you to its birthplace! It conjures up images of palm trees, white sand beaches, pristine ocean water, and a blue sky studded with puffy white clouds....
In law school I had a friend who claimed that he had a real archenemy, superhero-style. As in, Batman vs. The Joker or Superman vs. Lex Luther. And he was serious. He said they’d glower at each other every time they had the misfortune of crossing each other’s path, each secretly plotting and scheming terrible things against the other. Not so much violent things, more like things to mind-manipulate or humiliate each other. Bizarre? Maybe. But I’ll admit that law school tends to foster a little bit of bizarre the way a hot day fosters the desire for a cold beverage. Perhaps par for the […]...
I know you’re going to see this caramel and think I’m a liar. You’ll think it was made with naughty things heavy cream, white sugar, and bricks of butter....
