CK’s Perfect Guacamole
Fun fact: Nick and I met while working in a small bar & grill at our local tennis club. Nick spent many a summers working at the tennis club, moving his way through the kids camp to the kitchen. Funny how he never cooks anymore… I have vivid memories of walking in in the mornings…

Baked Tri-Fries
Why have one type of potato when you can have three?! I love a good homemade french fry but struggled for a long time figuring out how to make them crispy. The trick – soaking them in ice water beforehand! It helps remove any excess potato starch so they don’t stick together and get extra…

Healthier Homemade Hummus
I’ll admit I go in phases when it comes to hummus. Some months I am ravenous for it, others it never crosses my mind. Growing up I was all about that Sabra Red Bell Pepper Hummus, so creamy, so salty, so addictive. But now that I am older and am way more conscious of the…

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…

Looking for a starchy side dish that will WOW your friends and takes little to no effort? Look no further than baked potato slices with feta and parsley! I won’t bore you with ramblings today because this is pretty self sufficient. The only thing I will say is that it deserves it’s own post because…

Pepperoncini Zucchini Orzo
My love for pepperoncini has no bounds. I love it on pizza. I love it on salad. I love it in sandwiches. And now I love it in pasta! As someone who does not love pasta (hot or cold), but has learned to appreciate a risotto or pilaf since going gluten free, this recipe is…

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…
