One night I was struck with the idea to make chicken parmesan meatballs, and I…

Sweet n’ Salty Sesame Almonds
I have been missing Europe desperately lately. I still chat with the friends I met on my trip from over a year ago. We like to reminisce about long bus rides, eating new foods and simply the ridiculous scenarios we found ourselves in. The highlight of the trip for me was Greece. With the current…
All-Natural Summer Essentials + Giveaway
I love summer! Summer means pool days, backyard barbecues and drinks on the patio. To me there is nothing better than a day floating around the pool with a drink in my hand. The only problem with this scenario is my pale skin. I have a very fair complexion with more than a sprinkling of…

Crockpot Ranch Carnitas
I am kind of obsessed with my ranch seasoning. I love mixing it into interesting dishes that are far from traditional ranch dressing. Ranch seasoning mixes a unique blend of spices that bring a savory element to any dish! I love using my seasoning to make these ranch carnitas and ranch guacamole. Yes I realize…
Rosemary Watermelon Lemonade
When I lived in LA, one of my favorite places was a cafeteria-style lunch spot called Lemonade. Lemonade had a variety of market sides you could mix and match to make your meal. I loved these sides, but Lemonade’s namesake lemonade was always the true star. Some of my favorite flavors included blueberry mint, classic…

Spicy Romesco Sauce
It is getting so hot this summer, and it isn’t even technically summer yet. Since getting back from the beach, I’ve been having my own little summer staycation by the pool. I don’t work most Fridays, and it is the perfect time to lounge by the pool, read a book and just relax close to…
Mayo-free BLT Coleslaw
I’m back from vacation and playing some serious catchup! It is the busy season at my job plus I have something special in the works. I’m super excited but exhausted, which is funny since I just spent a week at the beach. I am so happy that summer weather has finally hit! It means I’ll…
Mango Strawberry Yogurt
I couldn’t decide if this recipe was more like mousse or yogurt. I decided on yogurt just because I don’t exactly see this dish as a dessert. If you are a yogurt lover than this Mango Strawberry Yogurt is sure to hit the spot! I used to love yogurt but being lactose intolerant doesn’t make…
