Carne Asada Flautas
Flautas. WE LOVE FLAUTAS. They can honestly be described in two easy ways: They’re essentially large taquitos. They’re enchiladas without the sauce – and a whole lot less cheese. Making them is too easy as well. Most people fry them on the stove in some olive oil. But we bake ours, just to make them …
Creamy *dairy free* Lemon Piccata Chicken
One pot meals are liiiiife on a weeknight. Clean as you go, and then at the end – its just the single pot you used, your plates and silverware. A one-pot meal I especially love: chicken piccata, but it is usually made with a heavy cream. So I was determined to create a dairy free …
Instant Pot Chicken Noodle & Kale Soup
Nothing feels better when you’re sick that a nice bowl of chicken noodle soup. But to be honest, I am pretty dang picky with mine! It is could outside, like under 50F and I have the worst throat right now, and no voice. RAWR. Ya girl needed some soup. Thankfully, being in the kitchen is …

With a smokey and sweet honey mustard vinaigrette, this will convert the doubters and satisfy the lovers …

Delicious and dairy-free is a phrase I have been come to known by. These vegan cream cheese, bacon wrapped jalepenos are so dang good, and a breeze to put together. They’re baked instead of fried – and dare I say, they’re better than any I’ve tried. I made these for a family event a while …
Spicy Pickled Jalepeno Deviled Eggs
HANDS DOWN. This is the most requested menu item I get asked to bring to every single event around the holidays. No joke, I have already made a double batch of them for one family event, my husband’s best friend is staying with us for a week and asked me to make them for his …
Caprese Salad
I cannot go to a get together without bringing something yummy to share. I often try to cater to the host. So when we made plans to go to my parent’s house for dinner last night, I knew my Dad would be thrilled with my caprese salad. He had shared that he was disappointed with …
Cauliflower Salad
This salad is such a magnificent accompaniment to a wide array of entree’s, but especially so with Italian meals. I made this along side prosciutto wrapped chicken (recipe coming soon) and it was the perfect addition to the menu. Ingredients (feeds 2-4) one head cauliflower EVOO 2 cloves minced garlic chopped basil (you can also substitute …
