A hearty salad loaded with sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, olives, avocado, and hard boiled egg, all tossed in a lemon vinaigrette is keto-diet friendly and delicious.

Gluten-Free Beet English Muffin Bread
Remember when English muffin bread was super popular a few years ago? I sure do because I was making all the recipes I could find on Pinterest. I think the English muffin bread trend, like many good food friends, is one that we need to get back to. Just like a really good song, it…
Bacon Fried Quinoa
Lately I’ve found myself in a bit of a food rut. Enter bacon fried quinoa to save the day. Since getting into batch cooking in the fall I’ve gotten a good routine going with my weekly meal prep. I’m often making a batch of soup, and some roasted chicken and vegetables so I can make…

Gluten-Free Chocolate Fig Thumbprint Cookies
Thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites. Growing up we always ate buttery cookies rolled in walnuts, with strawberry jam filling the thumbprint. If you’re not familiar thumbprint cookies are quite literally what they sound like. Soft butter cookies, that are baked briefly then you stick your (hopefully clean!) thumb right in the middle to…
Roasted Baby Artichokes with Creamy Lemon Dill Dip
Baby artichokes?! I was wandering through the produce section at Whole Foods in Cleveland a few weeks ago to grad a few things for the week and spotted a two-pound container of baby artichokes. It was only about $4 for all two pounds so I couldn’t resist grabbing them to play around with. I had…
