Dill Dip
There is no one other dip in the world that is more reminiscent of my childhood than my grandma’s homemade dill dip. It is something that I have been eating for as long as I have been eating solid foods and I still never get sick of it. I may even proclaim myself to be…

I don’t think there is anything more comforting than a big bowl of creamy, comforting risotto. It’s one of those dishes that has endless possibilities; you can make it light and fresh or hearty and rich. It can be a side dish or a main star. Risotto is famous for its adaptability which may be…

A kale salad may not sound that exciting to some, but this is one that exceeds any expectations. I genuinely crave this salad because it is that good. It’s so filling and full of flavor, you won’t feel like you’re eating something that’s also good for you. Anything can be added to the salad, you…

Lemon Ricotta Tagliatelle
I don’t think there is anything I love more than a creamy, cheesy pasta. Actually, anything that has to do with carbs and cheese is an instant favorite of mine.

Paleo Cinnamon Vanilla Granola
I was inspired to make my own version of paleo granola after shelling out $10 for a pre-made bag at the grocery store. Which although delicious it seemed to me that it would be much more cost effective if I made it myself. This was by far the easiest recipe I’ve ever come up with,…
