Air Fried Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
I never liked asparagus. Growing up asparagus was probably one of my least favorite vegetables. Now if you wrapped it in bacon? Okay, I’ll bite. There is nothing fancy about this recipe… there are only two ingredients and one cooking vessel. So why the need to post? Because if you don’t have an air fryer,…

Crispy Feta
Well, it’s been a busy March so far. I don’t know how it’s already the 21st or how I got here… Actually, I do. Life. Life happens. Day job duties get busy. Some intermittent travel. Nick and I have actively been saying YES to as much as possible. But admittedly, I am tired. I am…

Goat Cheese Peppadews
This super simple recipe was another one of my grandmother’s favorite appetizers to whip out during the holiday season. With only three ingredients (or two if you so desire), they are rich, packed with flavor, and completely addicting. Being the great cook that she was, she would buy plain goat cheese and whip in her…

Summer Peach Panzella Salad
Nothing screams summer to me than stone fruit and tomato… in anything! Mostly salads… but still, anything. They are fresh, juicy, and so flavorful this time of year. As I hold on to the last days of summer for dear life (is it just me or did summer shrink in length this year?!) and become…

Cauliflower Rice Arancini Balls with Marinara Sauce
*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG One of the things I miss most about eating gluten is fried-anything. I don’t eat fried foods on a regular basis but my mouth salivates every time we go to a restaurant that offers fried goodies — mozzarella sticks, beer-battered appetizers, you name it. These Air Fried Italian Arancini Balls are…

Baked Feta with Honey
As of the last few months, my new favorite ingredient to top salads or use as an appetizer is feta. It’s salty, it’s easily manipulated (for cooking purposes of course) and it’s cheese! Unless you are allergic, who doesn’t like cheese? This baked feta recipe is the perfect addition to your cooking adventures and an…

Jerk Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers
*REPOST FROM THE OLD BLOG* As we ease our way into Superbowl Sunday this week, I was struck by how iconic Superbowl food has become. Chicken wings, nachos, guacamole, cheese boards, buffalo dip! Oh don’t forget the buffalo dip! Although all these things are great and obviously we all want an excuse to eat junk…
