It should be obvious that I am in love with this Cajun Shrimp Pasta. I’ve already made this delicious dish twice in a single week. And since it’s my birthday today, I can eat whatever I love to eat! I love carbs. I love shrimp. I love alfredo sauce. Ergo, I am in LOVE with   Read More …

Let’s talk about vegan recipes for a second! Like most people, I thought vegan recipes were bland, tasteless blobs of “food” that hipsters eat to seem awesome. Yeah, it’s true that some people are just bursting to tell you that they’re vegan and how amazing it is and how everyone should do it. You know   Read More …

I love butternut squash and I wanted a unique, healthy and very tasty recipe for this fall. Um, and so did everyone else that lives where butternut squash is available, apparently. I must have gone through a hundred recipes and there are still thousands leftover. I guess people really enjoy butternut squash? Butternut squash is   Read More …

I have never been more proud of making a dish than I have been with these Spinach & Artichoke Ricotta Lasagna Rolls. Why? Welp, I made the ricotta cheese from scratch and I have just recently found a way to bake melt-in-your-mouth whole artichokes. Obviously, I needed to combine these individually amazing foods and added noodles, red   Read More …

Um. This is my first  vegan recipe ( if you used Smart Balance butter substitute, it’s “non-dairy”). And I didn’t even realize this until I started to write this post.

I know that the health benefits of of giving it up, getting protein and iron from other supplements is more heart healthy, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I know what you’re going to say. “BUT RACHEL! You regularly make recipes WITH   Read More …

Sometimes you need to feel like a grown-up. I don’t know why; maybe it’s because you bought floral print sunglasses or you still wear headbands with bows. Maybe it’s because you squeal like a banshee when Halloween month (yeah, not Halloween, but just the month it’s in) arrives, you whip out all of your decorations   Read More …

Orzo is a new thing to me, believe it or not. But believe it, because it’s true. This fat and squishy pasta is great by itself, but the herbs and mushrooms take orzo to a brand new level. A level of tasty deliciousness. Orzo is a versatile grain that’s actually pretty good for you, which   Read More …

This is ABSOLUTELY mouth-watering. I am almost sad that I made it for our friends; they recently welcomed their first baby into the world, the CUTEST baby girl I’ve ever seen. But I did sneak a piece before I went to visit them. Whoops. So, when we visited them in the hospital I brought baked   Read More …

So… don’t you hate it when you cut open an avocado and it’s not that creamy consistency that is oh-so perfect? Yeah me too. I did that twice this weekend (making guacamole for a damn football game that Bear’s watching) and it is SO annoying. I can’t use this for guacamole! I always think I   Read More …
