Vegetarian Taco Salad with a honey lime dressing

This taco salad is a result of my rummaging through the fridge and pantry throwing together some of my favorite ingredients. I love this salad because it's light yet filling. It's super healthy with a whole lot of crunch.

Broccoli Rabe Arancini with Marinara Sauce

Since that evening in Milan, I vowed to learn how to make a risotto as good as the one we shared. In the beginning, I started off by making small servings. Not confident in my ability to pull it off, I figured that I wouldn't feel as bad if it didn't turn out and I only made enough for two. Now when I'm making risotto, I'll make enough for a family of 8 - I can't help myself.

chocolate pull apart rolls

I've made this recipe with both dark and milk chocolate. Each is unique in flavor, and really, it's up to you to choose your favorite. Once you've rolled out the dough into a tight tube, and carefully sliced it into perfectly beautiful rounds, your natural instinct is going to be to place them neatly and tightly into a large pan, where they can rise and puff into each other.

Lemony Soup with White Beans, Kale, and Pasta

Now lets talk about this soup and all of the delicious bits that is encompasses. I made this lemony, white bean, kale, and pasta soup for the first time over the Christmas holidays, after a trip to the grocery store, a handful of my favorite ingredients thrown into a basket. I had just received the book Jerusalem as a gift, and was busy bookmarking the dishes I was most eager to try.

Vermicelli Tofu Noodle Bowl

Lately, I've been thinking about my travels. Recreating scenes, flavors, moments in my mind. Last week, I saw two tiny plastic chairs on the sidewalk, and I was overwhelmed with a certain feeling of nostalgia.  Some days I just crave the chaos and unpredictability of travel, and today that craving was particularly strong.

Three Bean Salad with Dried Cranberries and Celery

Three Bean Salad with Dried Cranberries and Celery

I like to make this salad the night before, allowing the garlic flavors to absorb into the beans. The dried cranberries add a nice sweet chewiness, which the celery and red pepper add a crunch. The dressing is a simple mixture of oil, balsamic, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper.

I wanted to share this biscuit recipe with you because they are so versatile and easy to make. You can enjoy them for breakfast with this delicious blueberry jam, or with an egg and some cheese, depending on whether you prefer sweet or savory.

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Spaghetti with a Cheesy Tomato and Garlic Sauce

This recipe is so simple. Pasta, oil, garlic, tomatoes, cheese, and seasoning. It tastes similar to a mac and cheese, just a little more sophisticated. The recipe takes a little under 20 minutes to prepare, so it has been a go-to favorite of ours for the last little while.

Za'atar Roasted Carrot, Cauliflower and Chickpea Bowl with a Lemon Yogurt Dressing

Cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas are such a good combination of flavors, and when they are roasted in some oil and spices, look out. I combined them with some fresh watercress, chopped avocado, and topped with a quick lemon yogurt sauce, and it was pretty much the best thing we ate all week.

Going to recreate this apple tart. It was ✨
Yesterday, after I photographed all of these amazing desserts, Brent, myself, and my inlaws grabbed forks and ate everything (perks of being a food blogger) while sipping on red wine and talking about our first trip away from the kids. Tomorrow we leave for Iceland for a week and I am so giddy and excited I can't contain myself. I will miss my kids dearly, but I know they are in good hands. . . . . . #foodglooby #feedfeed #f52grams #huffposttaste #dessert #tart #tastespotting #pie #summer #dessert #buzzfeedfood #fruitarian #fruitporn #prettyfood #desserts #sweetooth #berries #berrypicking #berrygood #fruit #summer
One of my favorite ways to entertain is to invite a few friends over to split a bottle of wine (or two) and snack on appetizers while enjoying the warm weather. We have a few events happening here this summer - birthdays, anniversaries, friends and family visiting, and that's always a good excuse to bring out the fancy wine and pastries. One of my favorite french wines is a pinot noir by @lovejadot It's a perfect pairing wine with chocolate and desserts. It's an easy sipping, medium bodied wine with hints of dark cherries and strawberry. Perfect for summertime entertaining. #lovejadot #ad . . . . . #cheers #winewednesday #wines #wine #vino #bastilleday #bastilleday🇫🇷 #winetasting🍷 #winestagram #instawine #france #paris #french #frenchwines #vin #dessert #pastry #pastries #f52grams #feedfeed
