I have been wanting to make black bean burgers for ages…but for some reason, I was a little afraid of them. You know how sometimes you can get in your head and convince yourself that a dish you’ve never tried is going to be really difficult to get right?… Well, I was completely off base […]
Oh my gosh. These cookies are divine. You must make them. Right away. Soft but slightly crumbly dark chocolate cookie covered in sweet, sticky, stretchy caramel…*drool* So I’ve got to warn you before you make these. It’s impossible to eat just one. That’s partly because if you stack them together, it will be very difficult […]
During summer, there is nothing I like better than ripe, fresh tomatoes. I love to walk past a stand of tomatoes in the farmer’s market and just breathe them in…it’s hard to describe what tomatoes smell like, but you know what I mean. They just smell like summer! I tend to eat a lot of […]
So, my husband loves Asian food. That sounds like an over-generalization, but I can almost guarantee that if the cuisine originated from somewhere in the Far East, he would be perfectly happy eating it every day for every meal. Korean food, Chinese food, Thai food, Vietnamese food…you name it, he’s there. I find it challenging […]
What can I even say about this amazing cake? Chocolate, coffee, and vanilla batters, all mixed together to form one single cake? Get outta here!

Whoah! July has whizzed by! Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? And to think, I almost let the whole month slip by without making any ice cream! In my defense, when a pregnant lady wants ice cream, she usually wants it right now…and that tends to lend itself better to buying […]
White Bean Salad
I found this recipe a few months ago and have just been itching to bring it to a barbecue. This weekend I finally got my chance. Not only is it incredibly easy to whip together, but at any given moment, I am likely to have most of the ingredients on hand! Plus it’s healthy. And […]
It’s another Secret Recipe Club reveal, and today I bring you a dish from a very interesting blog, From Arepas to Zwetschgen. Have you ever wanted to go around the world in 80 days, because I bet this blog could help! From China to Iceland, this blog’s got it covered. However, since pregnancy has put […]
Okay. I may have mentioned earlier that one of the things I have truly been loving during this pregnancy (aside from ice cream) is sandwiches. I have been taking note of interesting veggie sandwiches and wraps—you know what I mean, the ones that aren’t basically melted cheese with one mushroom or something like that. Not […]
