Have you ever had cilantro pesto? It’s a cilantro-packed version of traditional basil pesto with a few twists. Honestly, I like it better than basil pesto. It’s tied with Dill Pesto for me — try that one out, too! If you’ve ever had chimichurri, it’s similar. Chimichurri is traditionally made with parsley, but I like …
Have you ever had those 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies? They were super popular online a while back. I used that dough concept and made some Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars! I mean, you can’t go wrong with PB&J. Did you know I didn’t like PB&J until I was an adult? Until about… 5 years …
Pineapple smoothie + basil? What? Hear me out. Occasionally people ask me where I come up with ideas for recipes. Lots of places! But, my favorite source of inspiration is travel. Hands down. Steve and I took a couples trip to Mexico and the food was SO good. And inexpensive — I mean $6 for …

They’re on our family’s “favorite dinner list” — a very exclusive list of only unanimously voted recipes that we all love. I always hear “YAY!” …

It’s rare that I’m eating the very thing that I’m writing about, but here I am, munching on one of these Paleo Samoa Cookie Bars and chatting about them. Man, they’re good. You’ve eaten Girl Scout Samoa cookies, yes? (Sometimes called Caramel DeLites.) They’re my favorite GS cookie. I love caramel and coconut and their …
If you’re a Starbucks goer, you’ll know what I mean by “Pink Drink” — the famous drink made with Tazo brand passion tea and a hint of strawberry and cream. It’s a delightful combination. Turns out a Pink Drink makes amazing popsicles, too!
Does anyone remember these? I posted them YEARS ago and called these “Tortured Strawberries” It’s a chocolate covered strawberry dipped in marshmallow fluff AND THEN TOASTED WITH A TORCH. Yes, for real. And, yes, it’s as good as it sounds. PSSST: There’s a way to make these low-carb and keto-friendly!
