  • Hidden Veggie Red Velvet Smoothie – Savory Style

    It’s strange how your taste in food can change so drastically over the years. I was the world’s pickiest eater when I was younger. I barely ate fruits other than bananas and vegetables weren’t even a blip on my radar in my younger years, much to my parents’ dismay. Thankfully, I grew out of that…

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte Smoothie – Savory Style

    At a time of the year when most people are turning to soups to warm themselves up in the increasingly cooler temperatures, you’re looking at a girl who’s still sipping on cool and creamy smoothies… even if it means that she has to do it while bundled up in a cozy hoodie and/or hanging out next to the fireplace. It’s…

  • Crispy Tilapia Piccata

    Dinner during the week can be hard. Impossible even. With the million miles a minute lives almost all of us lead, whether we have kids, a demanding job or just a busy life in general (or all of the aforementioned!), getting a healthy, impressive dinner on the table in a decent amount of time can…

  • Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Coconut Macaroons

    When it comes to coconut, I know many people can be on the fence about it. It seems to me that people either absolutely love it or can’t stand the taste or smell. I guess I fit into the rare middle-ground of liking it, but not being overly obsessed with it. That is, until I…

  • Creamy One Pot Garlic And Parmesan Pasta – Savory Style

    While I’ve always been a foodie and enjoyed gourmet foods more than most, I’ve never been what you call a “food snob.” I’ll eat pretty much anything if tastes good, and when I was a kid, I had major love affair with boxed pasta. You name it, I liked it. Kraft mac and cheese. Hamburger…

  • Sweet Braised Whole Scallions

    Onions and I are tenuous friends, at best. For the most part, I do my best to avoid them, and rarely find them in my shopping cart, much less my skillet*. Frankly something about their sulfurous twang is a big … Continue reading Posted in Side Dishes Tagged Braised Onions, Braised Scallions, Braised Vegetables, Green…

  • Salt And Vinegar Kale Chips

    When my mom was a little girl, her dad would threaten to put any vegetables she didn’t finish eating at dinner under her pillow (broccoli usually played a starring role in this story), to be eaten, mushy and cold, the next day for breakfast. Now, I’m not sure if it ever actually came to that…

  • Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

    I could write some charming anecdote about butter and sugar; maybe reminisce about Easters past*, and how as a little girl with an insatiable sweet tooth I felt supremely lucky to have divorced parents, because the Easter bunny would inevitably … Continue reading Posted in Cookies Tagged Cookies, Frosted Cookies, Frosted Sugar Cookies, Soft Sugar…
