I am so excited to share parts of the outdoor kitchen that we built over the last year that has been outfitted with Delta Heat appliances, including the Gas Pizza Oven featured in this post. I have fallen in love with the pizza oven, and […]

I love developing quick, homemade salad dressing recipes. Having a jar in the refrigerator each week helps me eat more greens! And it can be a great addition to other meals like sandwiches or tacos. My 5-Minute Vegan Dressing is a huge reader favorite, and this vibrantly colored Green Goddess Dressing is the newest on […]

What are Garlic Scapes? Garlic scapes are the curly, twirly, green flower stalks that emerge from the tops of garlic plants as they grow. They can be eaten cooked or raw, and they’re as fun to look at as they are to eat! Garlic scapes have a mild and subtle garlic flavor, softer than the […]

As Apple Butter is my fall canning comfort, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam is my early Summer equivalent. This delicious fruit preserve is made from the season’s two favorite; one sweet and one tart. It’s my source of nostalgia in warmer weather, as I have fond memories of my grandmothers making dozens of rhubarb recipes each year […]

This Moist Sourdough Discard Banana Bread is a favorite of mine and readers. One of my friends mentioned that she had used the recipe to make muffins instead of bread and her 2-year old grandson LOVED them, as well of the rest of her family. What a great idea! So I ran with that idea, […]

Salty, crunchy potato chips with sour cream and onion dip is my kryptonite. It’s what I’ll go for first on the appetizer table, whether it be a tub of Top the Tater (a Midwest thing) or the kind made with Lipton Onion Soup Mix. It’s just the best combination. I love to make different homemade […]

My Search for the Perfect Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffin is over. And I think yours will be too. Each one of these crunchy, sugar topped Blueberry Muffins is bursting with just the right amount of fruit, is sweet and moist, brightened with lemon zest. Their tall and lofty texture is everything you’ve dreamed of, with the […]

Pickles are one of my favorite things to eat (and drink, cue this Dill Pickle Martini!). I love their salty, crunchy, briny, savory deliciousness and find myself using them in all kinds of recipes from deviled eggs to potato salad, cheese boards, and my latest obsession – folded into sourdough bread with fresh dill. Yes, […]

One of the first things I noticed when I went gluten-free in 2011 was that soy sauce was in SO many things, especially sauces and condiments. And what is soy sauce made of? Soybeans and wheat. Teriyaki sauce is delicious and an integral part of some of my favorite dishes and stir-fries. The main ingredient […]

Do you have someone in your house you struggles to drink enough water each day? I am constantly making sure Brian has drank at least some water during the day because it is an issue for him. He’s had kidney stones and vertigo several times because of his typical dehydrated state. We’ve tried many things; […]

One of the best things I’ve done in recent years is have a homemade salad dressing in my fridge at all times. From gingery White Balsamic Vinaigrette to my All-Star Vegan Salad Dressing, and now this easy Southwest Salad Dressing. I associate Southwest salads with my teenage and college years, frequenting Applebee’s or Chili’s and […]

I made homemade hummus for the first time about 12 years ago and have never looked back. From my vibrant beet hummus to za’atar white bean hummus, to this crave-worthy spicy version. Hummus is incredibly simple to make with pantry ingredients. But best of all, its luxurious creaminess, fluff, and flavor cannot be matched by […]
