Hi, guys! It's been about a year since I posted a recipe; It's been a tough time but we're seeing it through. It's spring-like here (some days, at least) and that always gets me thinking about picnics, days at the beach, and road trips.

Hey, guys! Today's post is a nom-nom personal-sized pizza recipe that's a copycat from a long-gone restaurant in Memphis. It's a flatbread pizza with a garlicky, herby, olive oil base, topped with tart red onions and dollops of creamy goat cheese. These little pizzas are quick and easy and perfect as appetizers or to serve on game day. They also make for a quick and easy meatless dinner option, too!

Hi, guys! As the holidays approach and I think about new dishes to serve at my own family gatherings, recipes like this emerge. It's not the usual savory dip recipe but goes well with savory dippers. This cream cheese dip is sweetened with honey and stuffed with chopped dried dates, apricots, figs, and cranberries, then drizzled in a little extra honey and garnished with more dried fruit and rosemary.

It's a hearty, creamy dip, and contains some good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel better about serving such a sweet treat! It's also great to make for those who are gluten-free, wheat-free, or who don't eat refined sugar. Keep reading for the recipe!

Hi, guys! I'm back with a scrumptious recipe for your Thanksgiving table: Cranberry, Pecan, & Brown Sugar-Topped Sweet Potatoes! These soft-roasted, caramelized sweet potatoes are fluffed, then topped with a sweet, buttery sauce of cranberry, pecan, and brown sugar. It's an easy way to add a beloved veggie to your holiday table without all of the work of making a casserole. I also have a couple of new ways to add a taste of the holidays to your fall celebrations!

Hi! I've got a crazy-good recipe for you today: 8-Layer Burrito Bowls! These bowls are piled high with fajita-spiced rice, seasoned black beans, a tomato, onion, and pepper mix, fire-roasted corn, queso quesadilla cheese, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a lime crema drizzle.

It might sound a little complicated to prepare, but it's really not; Besides cooking a pot of rice, chopping cilantro, slicing an avocado, and stirring lime juice into the Crema Mexicana, it's simply heat and stack! Keep reading for this crazy-easy and mouth-watering recipe!

Hi, guys! I was actually making this Antipasto Salad for the fam this week and wondered why I'd never shared it before; It's a delicious, filling, salad-for-dinner option that can be literally thrown together in minutes and everyone loves it. It's a Romaine base topped with all of your favorites from the Antipasto tray: pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini.

It looks like you spent a lot of time preparing it, but it's made up of mostly, if not all, pre-packaged, jarred, or canned items and the homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette is so easy, you don't even need measuring cups or spoons and it is so good! You can even leave out the pepperoni for a meatless meal option. Give it a try this week and you'll be adding it into your meal planning for sure!

Hey, guys! It's been one crazy summer in our house, but a few days ago I got a craving for some Jalapeño Hummus and since this was a recipe I had promised to share, took some photos while I made it! This is a spicy hummus loaded with jalapeños, lime, garlic, and cumin, and cilantro can also be added for a fresh pop of flavor. It's a great dip for veggies, chips, crackers, or even bread, and is a great healthy snack. It's vegetarian and vegan, and it takes about 5 minutes to whip up!

Cinco de Mayo is drawing closer and I've got a great recipe for your celebrations: Elotes Fries! If you don't know what Elotes are, it's a cob of roasted corn, slathered with a lime & garlic cream and rolled in salty, crumbled cotija cheese, then sprinkled with chopped cilantro and it's commonly sold as street food in Mexico. It's ridiculously delicious and addictive and I've made them into a topping for fries. You're welcome. 😉

Hi, guys! I'm back with a recipe for a delicious little dip/spread: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus! It's so easy to make and all of the ingredients can be purchased ahead of time to make this in a pinch. It's just a matter of dumping everything into a blender and voila! You have a delicious hummus that you can serve as a dip for just about anything or a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps. It's a great party or picnic food and can be ready in about 5 minutes!

Hi, guys! Its been a while since I posted a recipe and I thought this one would be perfect for this chilly weather. It's a potato soup with a difference; It's hearty, flavorful, and positively loaded!

The potato soup base is chunky and creamy and full of flavor from garlic and chicken broth, chives, sour cream, bacon, and two kinds of cheese, then topped with everything you love about baked potatoes! You can also leave out the bacon for a meatless meal option.

It's also super-easy to make in the Instant Pot, but I'll also give directions for the Slow Cooker for those who haven't gone the pressure cooker route yet. Plus, keep reading for the chance to win a Better Than Bouillon Prize Pack and one of 9 $50 Visa Gift Cards! [CLOSED]

I am a sucker for hummus, and recently I was inspired by one of my favorite snacks to create a new flavor with an Italian twist: a Zesty Garlic, Tomato & Basil Hummus, and it is delicious! Hummus is such an easy dip to make as it just gets thrown into a blender or food processor and there are so many ways to snack with it. I'll give you my recipe and show you just how easy it is to have a tasty, better-for-you dip in minutes and this one is perfect for a crowd!

With a husband who is a sports fanatic, I have a ball (womp, womp) coming up with ways to make game days more delicious. With the 2017 soccer tournaments coming up, I couldn't wait to dive into some international fare. With Modelo as the official beer of the Beautiful Game, I thought elotes would be the perfect pairing.

A date night in can be a fun way to reconnect, especially when the eats are as yummy as this. I'm going all out and instead of a still wine, I'm serving an amazing Brut Rosé sparkling wine along with a dish of steamed artichokes with a Mock Hollandaise. What is a Mock Hollandaise? It's easier to make, has less calories, but is still just as rich and delicious as the original.

There's nothing like spring for making fresh and delicious meals...like this easy, cold veggie pasta salad. It's an easy-peasy dish that can be made in less than 10 minutes and is full of crunchy, fresh taste. Pair that with a sliced french loaf and a delicious pesto and you have a fast and filling (and nutritious) lunch for two.

Hi, guys! Today I have a tasty (and gorgeous) recipe for the freshest salsa you've ever tried! This colorful condiment is stuffed to the brim with freshly chopped tomatoes, avocado, bell peppers, red onions, and freshly roasted corn and seasoned to perfections with cumin, lime, and cilantro. If my family's reaction is anything to go by, you'll have a hard time not eating all of this delicious, crunchy salsa in one sitting!

March is one of my husband's favorite times of year. Is it because the weather is warming and spring is in the air? Nope. It's college basketball tournament time. He loves the games, I love the get-togethers. This year, I'm taking our entertaining up a notch with drinks and a spread that are a little more chic for a get-together that's perfect for the grown-ups. Keep reading for my Honey Apricot Almond Cheese Round recipe (the savory and sweet together is amazing!) and the fun printables I used in my own setup.

When I get super-busy and am slugging down coffee all day, it's hard to remember to stop for lunch sometimes. I have to admit that when I do remember and there's nothing to grab and go, I'll wait until dinner when I'll be cooking anyway. Not a great choice, I know. That's why I love to stock up on easy, better-for-you frozen meals (on sale!) that I can just pop into the microwave and healthier side recipes that I can make ahead and warm up for the perfect lunch pairing.

Many of you know that this New Year I have #goals, and my biggest goal is to be healthier. That sounds a bit vague, but I want it to affect every part of my life, from the relationships I maintain to the way I treat my body. One of the biggest parts of that last one is the food that we eat. Convenience is great, but I have to re-train myself to choose healthier options, especially when it comes to breakfast.

Healthy breakfasts can be convenient and delicious. I just proved that to my whole family with this amazing honey-drizzled, blueberry Smoothie Bowl. It brings variety, deep flavors, sweetness, texture, and my favorite part, crunch.
