Quick Pickled Carrots with Garlic and Dill

This week I bought the GIANT bag of carrots at Costco and brought them home only to remember that we didn’t bring our BlendTec to Montana. Hmm, what to do with all the carrots? Then I remembered making Quick Pickled Carrots with Garlic and Dill a few years ago and instantly had a craving for them. Thankfully, I had picked up a gigantic stalk of dill at the farmer’s market…

The Mini Frittata

I love making frittatas. A little too much apparently, because my family seems to be tired of them. So I started making mini frittatas, just for me. I eat two slices and save two slices for the next day. Perfect! Just like regular frittatas, you can make this any way you like with whatever you have on hand. This one is dairy-free, but you could always add cheese if you…

Simple Fish Tacos

Last week I promised you the recipe for simple fish tacos Leila requested on her birthday. I make these all the time, and the kids go crazy for them.

5 Tasty Ways to Jazz up Your Popcorn

Fall is my favorite.  I love curling up on the couch with my sweetheart to share a bowl of popcorn, a bottle of Pinot, and an episode of Parenthood.  We typically go for a little coconut oil and nooch (nutritional yeast) on our corn, but sometimes it’s fun to switch it up. I headed to Pinterest and found a few new ways to jazz up our popcorn this fall.  I’m…
