These are SO simple (and super addictive…just try stopping.) You’ll need 3 ounces of cream cheese (I’ve never tried light cream cheese; I’m a tiny bit nervous because texture and consistency is key here and light cream cheese tends to be softer), butter, powdered sugar, and whatever flavoring you want. I’m using LorAnn Peppermint Oil, which is more concentrated and less alcohol-y than mint extract, but you can also use any kind of flavoring or extract that suits your fancy....

Meet my new favorite pie crust. I don’t even follow a gluten free diet, but this has become my go-to pie crust because it’s so easy and tasty! The process of preparing it is much simpler and more consistent than regular pie crust made with butter and shortening.

I fell in love with chicken shawarma in college and it’s been a favorite ever since. I went to Northwestern University, just north of Chicago, and there was a Mediterranean restaurant called Olive Mountain that was my very favorite. (It’s where we got food for my 21st birthday bash.) And I always got the chicken shawarma with hummus and yellow rice. Sometimes I’d get a salad to go with it and just feast....

Crepes are one of the first things I ever learned how to cook. I was in college and didn’t know how to cook or bake AT ALL, but for some reason I had to make crepes! These crepes are just like the ones I used to make, but vegan. They’re tender, delicate, thin and delicious with a variety of toppings/fillings. My absolute favorite way to eat crepes is with a squirt of lemon juice, powdered sugar, berries and pure maple syrup....

These funfetti cookies are always a crowd favorite! Today’s cookie recipe is near and dear to me. Growing up in New Zealand, these Funfetti Cookies (or Hundreds and Thousands Biscuits, as we used to call them in NZ), were a childhood favorite for most, but weirdly enough, I didn’t particularly enjoy them. It would take years and growing up into adulthood before I developed a soft spot for these funfetti cookies, and now I can’t get enough of them....

Luckily for you, people will go crazy for these Garlic-Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms. These are also a great low-carb alternative for people who might be watching their waistlines on Thanksgiving (ha! Ha for me, not for them. Good for them.) If you want to add a little crunch, feel free to sprinkle them with some panko bread crumbs (Italian seasoned or plain, either one is delicious) before adding the final dusting of parmesan cheese; otherwise, prepare for a gone-in-a-flash appetizer that can be prepped ahead of time ....

It has been a full and crazy week coming back from spring break. Re-entry is always a little bit of an adjustment. I sure am happy to see the weekend is almost here.

OK, let’s move along to the food....

I’ve been experimenting with different lunches and salad jars are always a favorite. These grilled chicken salad jars are a copycat of one of my favorite dishes at one of my favorite local restaurants. When I first saw pasta in a green salad, I thought that was very weird and wanted no part of it, but it is amazing. It’s a happy compromise between carb-heavy pasta salads and not-heavy-enough green salads, plus the pasta adds some nice texture....

5 13 Published Nov 17, 2023, Updated Nov 07, 2024 This recipe was inspired by a meal we got from Green Chef, the meal kit delivery service that we’ve been using recently.

I can’t wait for you to try this one!...

It is really uniquely flavorful and so good; if you’re looking for a great ground mustard, this is one of the best options....
