A while back I made some strawberry jalapeño jam and OH EM GEE. I’ve made it twice using fresh and frozen berries and it turned out great each time. If you’re not in strawberry season, this would be fantastic to try with cranberries, figs, or mango. The awesome thing about adding a somewhat savory component…

Creamy Butternut Sage Pasta Sauce
One of my favorite things about Autumn is squash. In all forms. So I look for any excuse to use it in my meals, much to the annoyance of my husband (not a squash fan). Roasted? Yes. Pureed? Yes. Sauce? Heck yaaaaas. Around this time of year, it’s really common to see grocers coming out…
Jalapeño Avocado Crema
This is, by far, my absolute most favorite time of the year. Being lodged in the transition from summer to fall. The tourists in San Diego have made themselves scarce, there’s a chill in the air in the morning and evenings, grocery stores have a bounty of summer fruits mixed with autumn squashes. The air…
White Balsamic Cranberry Sauce
You remember that bottle of white balsamic vinegar that’s just chilling in the back of your pantry because you bought it for that one salad dressing that one time? Well, it’s your lucky day because I have something incredible for you to make that will utilize your lonely vinegar. This sauce has the classic holiday…
Jalapeño Chimichurri Sauce
If you add one recipe to your culinary arsenal this summer, it should be this sauce. I’m not even kidding. The light and fresh herbs plus a mildly spicy jalapeño kick and a wallop of salty garlic… it’s literally the perfect companion for EVERYTHING! Fish. Yes. Shredded Pork. Yes. Grilled Steak. Yes. Eggs and Bacon. Yes….
Chicken Nuggets with Dairy-Free Ranch
This is a little play on a past recipe. I’m sure some people prefer chicken nuggets to chicken fingers… Add some sweet potato fries and you’ve got a very-kid friendly recipe! Chicken Nuggets 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 c. potato starch 1 egg 1/2 c. red palm oil or coconut oil garlic powder salt…
Curried Broccoli Salad
Deli counter salads are always so yummy, but they are often pretty expensive (Yes, I’m talking to you Whole Foods) so it’s a great idea to whip some up at home. It’s also a wonderful side dish to bring to summer potlucks, BBQ’s, or parties! Curried Broccoli Salad 6 c. broccoli florets, broken up into smaller pieces…
Sesame Honey Dip
Happy Spring! Here’s a delicious no-bake recipe for a fresh raw veggie dip or sauce. This was an “on-the-fly” creation. I needed a tasty sauce for some coconut shrimp and the inspiration just hit me! Lucky for me, I had all the necessary ingredients right in my fridge. This is super easy to make and…
Tahini Lamb Burgers
I love Burgers. Of all kinds. I’ve even had an alligator burger before. This is not that exotic, but it’s out of most people’s beef/turkey burger comfort zone. If you’ve never had lamb before, a burger is good way to experiment with this yummy meat option. Ground lamb is relatively easy to find, inexpensive (compared…
Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dip
I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. This month has been a bit intense for me so I’ve neglected the website in order to focus on more pressing matters. And even though only a couple people read this, I do miss sharing and posting things here in my lovely corner of the inter-webs. So I’m back…
