Peppermint Hot Chocolate Popcorn. Easy. Tasty. Wonderful for a last minute gift or party snack. The longest part of making this popcorn is waiting for the chocolate to re-harden. I love peppermint hot chocolate so much. So much. These cookies are a testament to that. And the day I discovered that homemade popcorn was as […]

Cinnamon Nutmeg Snowball Cookies. Or Russian Tea Cakes. Or Mexican Wedding Cookies. Or whatever else you might call them. You guys, this is the 3rd year in a row that I have had this recipe sitting in my drafts and I almost forgot to post it before Christmas (like I did last year and the […]

Paleo Cashew Curried Catfish. This Paleo Cashew Curried Catfish recipe is one of my favorite clean recipes. For one thing, I really love spicy food, so I add extra cayenne to the recipe (don’t worry, the recipe listed is quite mild). I love adding curry blends to foods and soups. They give everything so much […]

Brandy Spiked Eggnog Cookies. Yes. Please. OMG. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I love brandy spiked desserts, especially with eggnog and especially for Christmas. And I’m always looking for something unique and surprising to bring to various Christmas parties, but I also don’t want to be in the kitchen for a million hours. These cookies […]

Sage Brown Butter Sweet Potatoes Oh, hello there, you sexy little morsels of sweet and savory goodness. You look stunning in that glistening robe of Sage Brown Butter. This year, I’ve turned my sweet potatoes up a notch. A nice departure from the mundane, often dried out, and pretty boring sweet potatoes of yesteryear. Also, […]

Sage Brown Butter. Can I give you some sage advice (giggle giggle, knee slap, my pun game is so strong)? This Sage Brown Butter is a winner. For a couple of years now, I’ve read many food bloggers raving about the incredible discovery of brown butter (cough cough, Jessica from How Sweet It Is), but […]

Cranberry Walnut Cream Cheese Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread is one of those perfect desserts for holiday gatherings. It’s pretty simple to make, it really doesn’t require many ingredients, and serving it is as simple as laying it out on a plate and allowing each person to literally grab a piece. It’s also fantastic because it […]

Roasted Garlic Hummus. Fall is so close. SOOOOOOO close. It’s the only thing I can think about right now as I sit here praying for cooler weather. As a Seattle native, this business of weeks and weeks of over 97 degree weather has me somehow feeling depressed and super housebound. Any time I hear a droplet […]

Halloween Graveyard Brownies are pretty much the best brownies you could possibly imagine. When I was a kid, we used to go to the local Round Table Pizza in Issaquah where they had a soda fountain with 8 different sodas to choose from and we got to fill our own cups. Being only the tender […]

This Giant Sugar Cookie Tombstone is a fun and super easy creation for Halloween. It serves just as much as a decoration as it does a dessert.  Of course, I originally made it as a spooky accompaniment to my Halloween Graveyard Brownies, but it would have various decorative applications, including serving it flat and cutting […]
