Guys. I set out to make a Buddha bowl the other day and ended up with one of the best salads I’ve ever made. Tangy, garlicky, crunchy, fresh, filling, and super quick. You could even use a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix or prepped veggies from the grocery store to make this even faster. Just […]

I make some kind of Mexican-style meal at least once a week. Usually more often than that. Anything from basic taco-style ground beef to cauliflower taco bowls to these simple, delicious carnitas. Smokey, juicy pulled pork, with little crispy edges and a zesty punch of lime? Yes, please. I make these in the Instant Pot […]
When my husband and I moved in together, we loved spending our afternoons in the kitchen making dinner together and had no problem dirtying every dish in the house to get exactly what we wanted. A lot of life has happened since those days… We’ve both changed jobs, we’re on different shifts, and we had […]

I just realized I posted this recipe to my Facebook and Instagram, but not here. This is one of my very favorite summer recipes! It comes together super quickly – the most time consuming part is cutting up the watermelon – and there’s no need to turn on the stove or oven. Depending on the […]
I can’t be the only person who thinks “I wish I could have these every day” whenever I have s’mores. It never fails though, I have a true s’more – with a peanut butter cup instead of chocolate bar, obviously – and then spend the rest of the week making sad oven s’mores or even […]
When the weather starts to heat up and the Iowa humidity gets out of control, I crave all the veggies. My craving for tacos on the other hand, knows no season. Enter: Cauliflower Taco Filling. It’s hearty enough to keep you full through an afternoon of swimming or an evening by the campfire, but it’s not so heavy that it slows you down.
These cookies may be one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. They’re chewy and nutty and not overly sweet. They’re delicious with or without the chocolate coating, but it is definitely worth the extra effort. Preheat your oven to 350. Spread out your coconut shavings and almond slivers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and […]
I have been a mac and cheese lover since day one. My mom used to make it on the stove top with shell pasta, velveeta, butter, and milk. Sorry for giving away the secret family recipe, mom. It wasn’t until college I realized that people top macaroni and cheese with bread crumbs and bake it. […]
When summer finally rolls around, I’m always on the lookout for a light, cool side to whatever we’re grilling. I’m not usually a fan of pasta salad, but when Smitten Kitchen’s Pasta Salad with Roasted Tomatoes popped up in my Instagram feed, I stopped scrolling and went straight to the grocery store. No mayo, no […]
Last week our sweet girl moved from the baby room to the toddler room at daycare. The ladies who have been watching her since my maternity leave ended were so good to her and to us that we made them some treats. Please, please, please don’t skip browning the butter. It really does make a […]
