Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes
I can’t resist a pile of creamy mashed potatoes – can you? This version is made with rich, dreamy olive oil, a bit of milk and salt and pepper. You may think you’ll miss the butter (trust me – I love butter, too), but the rich flavor of the olive oil really takes mashed potatoes…
Read MoreAvocado Deviled Eggs
At nearly every holiday party there is a tray of perfectly styled deviled eggs, and I am always the first one to grab a couple. They are SO good and always remind me of my childhood. This year, I’m whipping up a platter of deviled eggs with an elevated twist – from both a flavor…
Read MoreHoneycrisp Apple Galette
I have been so eager to get this new recipe posted for my Honeycrisp Apple Galette! It is quite possibly my favorite dessert for so many reasons. It’s kind of like a cross between a pie and a tart and it’s much less fussy than either of those. It’s rustic and easy to make and…

Many of us are putting together menus for a special holiday meal this time of year! I don’t know about you, but I love side dishes just as much – if not better than – the main! That’s why I develop several new side dish recipes each year. This year the first recipe in my…

Read MoreBroccoli Mac and Cheese Cups
Who doesn’t love mac and cheese? We’ve taken classic mac and cheese and made it a bit healthier with a lighter cheese sauce and loads of broccoli (but equally delicious). We also baked them up in a muffin tin to make them into portion-sized cups, perfect for school lunches! You could easily use other vegetables…

Are you an oatmeal fan? I sure am. Especially in the fall and winter months when the weather becomes brisk and I want something cozy and satisfying to start the day. This oatmeal is extra special because it’s made with chopped dates, apples, cinnamon and vanilla so it’s extra delicious. The recipe calls for steel…
Read MoreBaked Chickpea Falafel
This falafel is a Middle Eastern-inspired recipe using chickpeas (instead of the traditional fava beans), and grinding them with herbs, lemon, aromatics (onion and garlic) and breadcrumbs, then forming them into balls and baking them until they’re light and golden. I serve them with a little drizzle of spicy aioli and they make for the…
