After running a few polls on my Instagram stories last month, I learned that a lot of you are looking for quick, healthy dinners that you can make in under 30 minutes. Well, I heard you and over the next couple of months I have many easy dinner recipes coming your way! To kick things…
Raisins
Spiced Popcorn with Pecans
Hi food friends! So sorry for being MIA last week. There has been so much I want to talk about on the blog, but honestly just not enough hours in the day to sit down and write at the end of the day. I’m sure you’ve been there. Things have been waaaaay busier than usual at…
Picadillo Tacos with Ground Beef and Almonds
Picadillo Tacos just in time for Taco Tuesday! Okay, I’ll admit it, when I saw the initial recipe for these tacos in Food and Wine, I was a bit confused. Almonds and raisins in tacos? Aren’t tacos supposed to be spicy and savory? But anyone who knows me, knows that I prefer sweet over savory,…
Chicken Masala with Figs and Golden Raisins
I had a very busy day on Saturday and by the time I got home around 5PM the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner. Ever have those nights? I do! More often than I’d like to admit. But we had a bunch of leftover ingredients in the fridge that I wanted to use…
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips and Raisins
Is this the longest cookie name ever? I really couldn’t shorten it – these cookies have ALL THE INGREDIENTS. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a few photos of these cookies over the weekend. I hadn’t made a new cookie recipe in awhile, because I usually just stick to our two favorites: my amazing…
Brie Crostini with Spiced Raisin Compote
The holidays are upon us! I don’t know about you, but every store I’ve been in recently (CVS, Home Goods…) already has Christmas decorations out. I thought that always started after Halloween, no? Since I am trying to keep up, I started testing a few new holiday recipes last weekend. You’re going to LOVE these Baked…
Kale Salad with Tahini Dressing
Hello friends! I can’t believe it’s Thursday already. This week is flyyyyyying by for me. I was in Boston visiting my family this past weekend and I flew back to LA bright and early on Tuesday morning. I am finally getting the chance to catch up and say hi to you guys. I am reallllllly…
No-Bake Nut and Oat Granola Bars
Where did June go!? Is it me, or did it just fly by? We were so busy all month with our trip to Chicago, friends’ events and a recent visit to New Jersey. I feel like I’ve hardly had any time to pop-in and say hi to you guys. I thoroughly enjoyed being home for three…
Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bites
As promised, I am sharing a DELICIOUS snack recipe with you guys today. Peanut Butter Trail Mix Bites! I whipped up these Bites last week and devoured them all within just a few days. Whoops! They are super easy to make and I bet you have most of the ingredients in your pantry already. Even…
Carrots with Raisins and Toasted Walnuts
Holy cow, I could eat the whole batch of these carrots. I really could. There would be nothing wrong with that. It’s a perfectly healthy side dish. And if I did I would have super duper vision, right? Or something like that. You have to use your food processor to shred these carrots. Now, I know…
Healthy Homemade Granola Bars
Granola bars are a great option for those who are in a rush to get out the door in the morning or when you need a quick and healthy snack. The problem with many prepackaged granola bars is that they contain A LOT of sugar, but good marketing can often trick you into thinking you’re…
