A food-loving girl raised on pasta and tamales
No-bake cookies. They’re the perfect cookies for hot summer days and warm summer nights. So when I heard that The Recipe Redux group was putting together small bite desserts for their 6th anniversary, I immediately new it was time to play around with some no-bake cookies. Mid-June and I’m well into my anti-oven season. Instead…
When I found out that Recipe Redux members would be teaming up with Sabra for National Hummus day on May 13, I immediately knew what I wanted to make. Hummus and salad bowls! I received free samples of Sabra Hummus mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored…
Its not even summer yet and I’m already wanting quick and easy dinners with minimal cooking, aka minimal stove and oven. This salad came about from just that need. We wanted a quick and easy dinner on a Friday night with minimal cooking and using mostly pantry staples. If you cook the quinoa in advance…
Have you gotten behind the golden milk trend yet? I must say that I’ve been into it for a few months now. Other than the health benefits of turmeric and ginger, I love that a golden milk latte is cozy and creamy without the caffeine of a typical latte or the sugar of hot chocolate.…
One of my greatest passions when it comes to food and cooking is the incorporation of local ingredients. I find myself so inspired by local produce, trips to the farmer’s market, my neighborhood spice shop, and trying out new local products.

When I get on a kick with a certain food or snack I really get into it. This winter my favorite thing to eat has been roasted broccoli dipped in chili garlic mayo (I liked this brand). It wasn’t until a few months ago that I started roasting broccoli, mostly for buddha bowls, and it…
Banana bread is the definition of cozy for me. There is something so comforting about making a batch of banana bread and then enjoying a slice, preferably with some peanut butter. The only downside is that a loaf of banana bread can take quite a while to bake and it’s hard to be patient when…
What are your thoughts on flavored hummus? I love the idea of all kinds of hummus flavor mashups but when it comes down to it, I have always been sort of hummus purist. I like hummus with lots of lemon, garlic and tahini- and not much else. Until I discovered the cilantro lime hummus at…
Growing up my family always packed food to eat while traveling. Maybe it was to resist the smell of airpot cinnamon rolls, or to save money, but my mom always had sandwiches, fruit or other snacks for us. If we were traveling with my grandparents you can bet that there was a large bag filled…
I love to travel, and Morocco is definitely on my bucket list. So while I might not be able to get to Northern Africa any time soon, I can certainly trigger my imagination through a hearty bowl of soup inspired and flavored by warm Moroccan spices. It was after a stop in one of my…
