Sometimes, after I've had an incredible meal at a restaurant, I either try to re-create it ... or it inspires a related recipe. Inspiration coupled with a renewed focus on fast, easy recipes resulted in this Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken and Vegetables. Just one pan to wash, limited prep time, only 30 minutes in the oven ... and voila! A tasty dinner I'd gladly serve for a regular family dinner or a special occasion dinner. Heck, I'd make it just for myself! Harissa Paste Is The Secret ... continue reading...

Skinny Pizza in Addison
Diagnosed with a cow's milk allergy more than 20 years ago, I have had plenty of time to get accustomed to eating my pizza without cheese. Before you feel too sorry for me, think of it like bread sticks with toppings, dipped in marinara sauce (not too bad). More recently, I have started using dairy-free cheese when I make pizza at home, but I still have to go cheese-less when I order out or have pizza delivered. UNTIL I found Skinny Pizza in Addison! They offer 2 dairy-free/vegan cheese options ... continue reading...
Vegan Cheesy Tomato Pasta Bowl
I posted a photo of this dish months ago on Instagram, after whipping it together with what I had in the house on one of those cupboards-are-gettin-kinda-bare nights. And wouldn't you know it? It was one of my most popular photos of 2017 and people have been asking for the recipe ... the recipe I hastily jotted down on a scrap piece of paper because I was hungry and in a hurry. I have now remade it twice to get the recipe just right (note to self: better handwriting needs to be a goal in 2018), ... continue reading...
Wheelhouse Dallas Review
One of my favorite things about the Dallas/Fort Worth area is that there are so many different neighborhoods, districts and towns, all complete with longtime favorite eateries and a never ending list of new restaurants to try! I recently visited a newer addition to the Dallas Design District: Wheelhouse Dallas, which opened in the spring of 2017. The first dish up was the mussels and fries. The mussels were bathed in a green curry coconut milk broth and topped with thai basil, bean ... continue reading...
Easy Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Peppermint Cookie Bars
I love to bake, and I almost always bake from scratch. But sometimes, especially around the holidays, life gets so busy trying to juggle work, Christmas shopping, Christmas decorating, Christmas planning and all the parties, potlucks and cookie swaps that I need something I can bake fast ... that is also delicious and TASTES like I made it from scratch (because there's no pressure at all when you have a food blog and bring cookies to a gathering - ha!). So when Krusteaz recently sent me several ... continue reading...
Dark Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn Bark
During my tween years, I discovered a new love, thanks to my paternal grandmother and my mom: making homemade chocolate candy. For several years, we made chocolate-covered peanut butter balls (a.k.a buckeyes), chocolate Santas, chocolate suckers and more. After a long candy-making hiatus, a little challenge from Funky Chunky plus a sample of their Peppermint popcorn led me to rediscover my old love and create this Dark Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn Bark. In the words of my daughter: "This just ... continue reading...
Dairy-Free Baileys Cream and Coffee
This post is sponsored by Southern Kitchen. I never share information about products or companies that I don’t stand behind and use myself. All opinions, recipes and thoughts in this post are my own! The holidays always make me think of my childhood, especially time we spent at my grandparents’ house and out to dinner with them. Copious amounts of coffee were a mainstay with my grandparents and, later, the same was true of time my sister and I spent with our dad. In honor, I dedicate this ... continue reading...
Holiday Meals: Navigating Food Allergies and Intolerances

If your family doesn't have to contend with any, count yourself lucky. If you - or guests coming to your holiday dinner - are facing food allergies/intolerances related to dairy, gluten, eggs, soy or more, check out the tips on Navigating Food Allergies and Intolerances at the Holidays below, based on two decades of ... continue reading...
Blatt Beer & Table Dallas Review
Earlier this year, I tried Blatt Beer & Table for the first time. It's located in Preston Hollow Village in Dallas, just off I-75 and Walnut Hill. The village is easy to get in and out of, with free garage parking and a Trader Joe's as an anchor, for pleasant, easy shopping. I had been craving chicken and waffles ... something I resisted trying until several years ago because it just sounded weird to me. I'm not sure what was wrong with me, because it's a match made in heaven! At ... continue reading...
Creamy Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes took up about half my plate as a kid whenever they were served. And, thanks to me copycatting my dad at a young age, they typically had corn piled on top of them too. Some things never change (I still love mashed potatoes). And some things do: I have to make them dairy-free now and, unfortunately, I can't seem to comfortably eat the same volume I could as a kid! ;) These creamy dairy-free mashed potatoes deliciously solve one of those issues. They're also ... continue reading...
Dairy-Free Gluten-Free Classic Green Bean Casserole
Like many families in America, the traditional green bean casserole was a staple at my family's holiday dinner table as I grew up. You know the one -- it uses a can of cream of mushroom soup and a container of french fried onions. It's a classic dish, and it's clearly as popular as ever, evidenced by grocery store displays October through December featuring the food products used to make this dish. But when you have a dairy issue or gluten intolerance, eating this holiday classic will make you ... continue reading...
Easy Vegetable Baked BBQ Chicken
This recipe comes from another "the cupboards were kinda bare" night. When my kids were growing up, we had a lot of those, especially when our schedules were at their peaks and ... you know ... who had time to go to the grocery store?? I wish I had a food blog then because I would have written all those recipes down! Concocting something for dinner out of what I have in the house often results in some of my favorite dishes ... like this Easy Vegetable Baked BBQ Chicken! It's similar-ish to ... continue reading...
