I came across this recipe the other day and have really been wanting to try it. I feel like I’ve been making the same 5-10 meals lately…mostly because that’s what we love (and so do the kids), but I also love making new things and […]
This pico de gallo is perfect for snacking, putting on salads, tacos, or just topping off your favorite mexican dish. It’s super easy and everyone will love it!
We seriously go through so many bananas at our house. It’s pretty rare that they get over ripened but when I look over to our fruit basket and see browning bananas, I get excited! You see, I really love banana bread. I try not to make it too much because I just can’t stop eating it!
This recipe is a classic and its all mixed in one bowl, which is super nice! Confession…I don’t like cleaning dishes, but then again, who does?? It’s made with melted butter (instead of shortening), giving it a full, rich flavor!

So, it’s been a while since I’ve posted any new recipes. We have had such a busy summer…full of family, friends, traveling, and lots of fun! Trust me…I’ve still been cooking! It’s totally my favorite pastime. It just takes time to get the right photos […]
This is one of my easiest recipes and one of my favorite meals! I also happen to think that this is a meal that even tastes better the second day…and I love having good leftovers! The hubby loves them, the kids love them, and that […]
I make pork roasts all the time, but this new method is going to be the only way I make pork carnitas from now on! It’s faster and tastes better!
I was in a hurry to get dinner ready, so I cut my pork shoulder roast into small cubes, then seared them and let them simmer for about 1.5 – 2 hours and it was already falling apart it was so tender. I then drained the liquid and turned up the heat and let the outside get a little crispy and blackened with the seasoning. This is where all that extra flavor comes in!
Served on a warm tortilla with avocado and salsa. Mmmm…my mouth is watering!
I need some easy dinners in my life right about now! With 2 little ones at home, sometimes it can be hard to get dinner on the table at a decent time. It’s also my passion to feed my family healthy meals that I can […]
I tried something new tonight…chicken thighs! Yes, I’ve had chicken thighs before, but it’s been a long time since I have cooked them. If we eat chicken, it’s almost always chicken breasts. These little guys were so good and juicy…I think we will be seeing […]
I’ve been working on and tweaking this recipe for weeks! I almost gave up…but I just love pumpkin muffins and really want to get better at gluten-free baked goods. I decided to attempt making my own gluten-free flour as well. I made a mixture of sorghum flour, millet flour, and brown rice flour. (This is what Trader Joe’s uses in their pumpkin muffins…which, in my opinion, are basically the best I’ve ever had.) Quite addicting, actually. I’ve eaten an embarrassing amount of those muffins. The only thing I wanted to try to change is the amount of sugar they put in their muffins. They are amazing, but do have a bunch of sugar…hence the reason they are so good! My recipe just uses some maple syrup and organic sucanat (which is an unrefined brown sugar).
The texture of these muffins are spot on. Not the weird, gluten-free grainy texture that many baked goods have. I really hope you enjoy them and let me know how they turn out!
I made this cilantro-lime jalapeño butter last summer to drown my roasted corn in. Corn on the cob, right off the grill, and dipped in this butter…I’m drooling just thinking about it! About 8 months later, and I’m just getting around to making it again. […]
