Many people spend January focused on resetting. That might mean their diet, exercise, or focusing on some other goals. No matter the time of year or your dietary preferences, I think we can all agree that good flavor is important. POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice is only one ingredient and it provides both sweet and…
This recipe has become a staple in our house. It all started over the summer when I was trying to make some adjustments to my diet in an effort to heal my gut and overall, feel better. I had also recently returned from Thailand, so Thai flavors were on my mind and a constant source…
Today I have a super easy and delicious granola recipe for you. Every month (or almost every month, because you know, life), I create a recipe based on a theme from the Recipe Redux group. December’s challenge was to adapt a recipe from a cookbook that we already have at home using the 17th or…

While it may not feel like fall with this heatwave sweeping across the country, at least the fall produce is arriving in full force. I have been loving picking up a bag full of various squash, winter greens, and apples from City Fresh each week. In the last few weeks I’ve come home with some…
Today is the first official day of fall! Fall is such a good time to be a food lover, and I don’t mean only the pumpkin and apple treats that are all over. Autumn weekend also mean football games, and regardless of if you’re a fan or not, tailgating and watching football is the perfect…
