Lemon Cremes
You can bribe me with pretty much lemon flavored anything. When my sister and I were young, we would play monopoly with our friend with a bag of lemon drops at the table. It was our go to candy for monopoly – not sure why but even now, I have a hard time playing it…
Air Fryer Chicken Legs
The air fryer is my new favorite appliance. No joke, it is amazing. Especially for cooking meat. I will be the first to say that I am not expert at cooking meat. Being a vegetarian for so long, I have not had a tremendous amount of experience doing it. When I first started, I wasn’t…
Banana Cream Pie
Confession: I am not much of a banana fan. Let me clarify. I like bananas in things, I just have a hard time eating them by themselves. You won’t ever see me peal a banana and bite into it. However, I will slice a banana and put them in my cereal or roll them in…
Vegetarian Tortellini Soup
I know a lot of people like soup in the fall and winter but I am not that person. I can eat soup all year! It is truly a comfort food for me, especially when it is stormy outside. Having lived in the east and west – I really miss east coast thunderstorms. I love…
Rice Krispies Treats
I am not sure how many batches of rice krispies treats I made in middle school but it was a lot. It was the standard treat to bring to a sleep over back in the day. Seriously, I don’t think my friend and I showed up at the other’s house without a pan of rice…
Tofu Stuffed Pita
I was raised by a very health conscience mother. I think all of the ingredients for this pita were a staple in our refrigerator growing up. I never, in my life, saw my mother eat a piece of meat. I remember when we bought actual chocolate chips to make cookies rather than carob chips. The…
Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
I will be honest with you all, I have never had a cabbage roll with meat. These are the only ones I have ever had and they are so good, I have no desire to wander elsewhere. And guess what, my kiddos and Andy like them too. Emma, the resident meat lover couldn’t even tell…
Strawberry Tart
This is strawberry season. For the next month I am almost positive you will be able to find strawberries for $1/lb at a grocery store near you. This last week, WinCo had them on sale. In June, you’ll be able to go to a U-pick farm and get them fresh. This recipe brings three dessert…
Strawberry and Blueberry Crisp
It’s strawberry season! Whether you are picking them soon at a U-pick farm or grabbing some at your local grocery store for $1/lb, there are so many things to do with berries. Aside from just eating them – jams, tarts, pies, cakes, toppings, the list goes on and on. We are currently making some freezer…
Three Cheese Veggie Pasta
If there is one guaranteed crowd pleaser in our house it’s pasta. When the question “What’s for dinner tonight?” is inevitably asked and I answer, “pasta.” It is always a positive response, even if we’ve had pasta that week. Gabi, the oldest, is for sure the biggest pasta fan. I think she could eat it…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
