Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt)

June 19, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Middle Eastern Spiced Green Beans with Olive Oil and Tomato (Loubieh bil Zayt) is a dish that’s simple to make, but complex in flavor. This dish is heady with aromatic spices, onion, and garlic, and the green beans take on a nutty flavor after being toasted in olive oil. I don’t think there’s anything more intimate than sharing a meal with someone. Food is so deeply intertwined in who we are…meals our moms made for special occasions growing up will always be special. Holiday foods remain festive in our minds and are reserved for once a year. And there’s nothing quite like the feeling of […]...

Mmm, mac and cheese, is the mantra filling my head every fall when the weather turns chilly and I start craving comfort food.

Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds {Paleo}

February 22, 2016 by Faith 11 Comments

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 […]...

Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup

October 12, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

This Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup has all the flavors of a classic burger, but in cold-weather comfort food form. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I enjoy traveling. I love experiencing new cultures or even just new regions of the US, and immersing myself in the foods the locals eat. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t enjoy coming back home and returning to my routine. At heart, I’m a creature of habit, happiest in my home....

Chickpea Garden Vegetable Soup

September 23, 2015 by Faith 7 Comments

This Chickpea Garden Vegetable Soup is a celebration of summer’s produce in healthy comfort food form. This time of year I’m always torn between wanting a salad or a big old plate of grilled vegetables for dinner, or something a little more substantial like soup. Summer produce is still going strong and this soup gives you the best of both worlds....

Sometimes something happens that you just can’t get out of your head. It could be someone you meet or a place you visit, or even something that seems so much more mundane like a food you eat. But for whatever reason it speaks to you....

Crunchy Broccoli Salad with Creamy Dressing

March 4, 2015 by Faith 8 Comments

The first time I ever dyed my hair was freshman year in college. I’m naturally a dirty blonde (which I have always thought was quite an unfortunate term for hair color), and decided to go a little lighter. It was so ridiculously similar to my natural color, it wasn’t even worth the effort....

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…...

Low-Carb Herbed Cauliflower “Rice” with Pine Nuts {Paleo}

December 11, 2014 by Faith 8 Comments

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?...
