I'm always up for a great cup of coffee -- morning, noon or night! So when I had the opportunity to order Five Sisters Coffee Co. coffee before they officially launched, I ordered two of their blends -- "Smart" and "Chic." In case you don't know this about me yet, I LOVE coffee. If I had to give up any beverage, other than water, coffee would be the LAST on my list! I'm also a self-professed coffee snob, and I like dark, bold roasts. So when I saw the Five Sisters Coffee Co. SMART blend, ... continue reading...

Almond Butter Coconut Curry Chicken
One of my favorite things to do in my kitchen, other than pump up the music and chop vegetables while I sip a good wine, is to recreate a dish I have tasted somewhere and can't stop thinking about. This Creamy Dairy-Free Almond Butter Coconut Curry Chicken is one of those dishes ... and the result of one of those favorite days in my kitchen. When I was crazy busy with my day job earlier in the year, I ordered some already-prepared meals to save me time. And to ensure that I would healthy ... continue reading...

Dairy-Free Cashew Cheese Sauce
During my 20+ years of dairy-free life, there's almost nothing I have missed more than CHEESE. For the first decade, I simply lived without it. Then I discovered you could make "cheese" with cashews! Mind blown, taste buds blown, life changed!!! It's easy to whip up a batch of my Dairy-Free Cashew Cheese Sauce at home (especially after you've made it a time or two), and it works well with soooo many different recipes. Cashew cheese also packs a lot of protein, which is really important if ... continue reading...

Moqueca Brazilian Fish Stew
This recipe was inspired by Nazka Kitchen, a restaurant in Dallas where I first tried Moqueca - a delicious Brazilian fish stew I order every single time I visit. During the COVID-19 shelter-in-place era, I made a "quarantine bucket list" -- and creating a delicious Moqueca Brazilian Fish Stew was at the top of my list. My young adult daughter, who eats pescatarian and is home finishing her very last semester of college online, was also a strong motivation behind this new favorite ... continue reading...
Easy 5-Minute Coleslaw
What's the perfect side dish for family BBQs, picnics and holiday get-togethers? Homemade coleslaw! A lot of coleslaw, in my opinion, is full of too much mayonnaise, too much sweetness and/or, in some cases, too much vinegar. This Easy 5-Minute Coleslaw recipe, however, is my favorite because it hits the perfect balance. This recipe is fast and easy to make thanks to a bag of pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. If you can find it, a mix that includes red cabbage is best. Both green and red ... continue reading...
Instant Pot Copycat Bean with Bacon Soup
When I was growing up, I had a favorite soup -- Campbell's Bean with Bacon. It's what I wanted when I was sick (or even when I wasn't). Now that I'm an avid label reader, I mostly stick with healthier versions of my favorites that I make at home. In my experiments to create a copycat recipe, I found that using ham hocks actually created a taste closer to my favorite soup than bacon did (go figure!). This Instant Pot Copycat Bean with Bacon Soup recipe is childhood comfort food at its ... continue reading...
