There was one time in my life when I hated mushrooms. Can you even believe that? What was I thinking. Now I love those little fungi so much. That’s why I had to dedicate this pasta to them – to say I’m sorry for a lifetime of neglect, and it won’t happen again. One thing…

Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Crouton Skewers
What’s better than tomato soup and grilled cheese when the weather starts to get chilly?! Here’s a hint: It starts with “n” and ends with “othing.” Tomato season is over where I am from, but soup season is just beginning, so I had to grab one more batch of fresh tomatoes to use to make…
Sweet Potato Fries
It’s the simple things in life. Reading a book outside in the warm weather. Sippin’ cocoa by the fire. Dipping sweet potato fries in my Good-on-Everything Green Sauce. Livin’ for it. This is a simple recipe. Simple, yet impactful. It took me a while to nail sweet potato fries. They are tricky little buggers. But,…
Gluten-Free Zucchini Galette
Think: flaky, creamy, cheesy, lemony, zucchini-y. All of the good things about a savoury dish brought together into a pretty and rustic galette. If you know me, you know I love a good galette. And I love mixing it up and creating both sweet and savoury galettes. I’ve tried everything from stone fruit to tomato…
Easy Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Do you remember a few years ago when the “Cauliflower Soup Diet” was a thing? I feel like it was a thing. Either way, this cauliflower soup is healthy and you can eat it every day, if you want to! I used my Simple Living Soup Maker to make this soup. If you haven’t heard…
Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
It’s strawberry pickin’ time, y’all! I went out this weekend and grabbed a good-sized basket of them, so you know the next few recipes are going to be strawberry based! Naturally, I picked way more than is okay for one person to eat, but that just means JAM. Jammy, jam-jam. Rhubarb strawberry jam! Growing up,…
Beet and Orange Salad with Goat Cheese
I truly think that beets are underrated. They are so easy to make, taste so delicious and are so healthy. I know that many find them to be too “earthy” tasting for their palate, but that is exactly why you need to pair them with something sweet…like an orange! It may seem like an unorthodox…
Roasted Carrot Soup with Ginger (Vegan)
Guys, I have to tell you a secret – I’m obsessed with ginger. I put it in a good percentage of my soups, especially this Roasted Carrot Soup. Every night, I boil water and pour the water over a hunk of ginger that I’ve peeled and cut in half. I would eat it in any…
Gourmet Adult Grilled Cheese with Quick Tomato Jam
I always say that I could be a vegan if it wasn’t for cheese. More specifically, grilled cheese. Can’t stop, won’t stop. You might be wondering how I have the audacity to post a grilled cheese recipe. An easy, classic that everyone knows how to make. Well let me tell you, I’m audacious! And this…
Crockpot Ginger and Turmeric Immune-Boosting Soup
Soup. Soupa-doop. Soupa-doopa-doopa-doop. Grab your salt ‘n pepa (get it?!) and let’s finish off this last month of winter with some cozy, comforting, cold-fighting soup! Nineteen. More. Days. Although I love living in a country that experiences four diverse seasons, winter is always way too long. And as a teacher, it’s hard NOT to pick…
