Are you a fan of pickled red onions? I am. Completely. It’s one of those things that I love to eat when I eat out, but never made at home until recently — which is CRAZY because they’re ridiculously easy. OK, I lied. I did make them once. There was this pickled red onion recipe …
If you haven’t used an Instant Pot to make potato salad, you’re in for a treat. My mom’s best friend made the BEST potato salad. And as far as I knew, she eyeballed everything without a recipe. It was infinitely better than store-bought potato salad which is often weirdly sweet and lacking salt. And boring. …
I was debating whether or not to post this sourdough stuffing recipe because I’ve tried to keep all of my content gluten-free for the past several years.

Friends, I had a hard time reigning in this wild rice salad recipe. This is literally a “choose your own adventure” situation, and I wanted to ADD ALL THE THINGS. BUT. I thought it would be better posted as a base. A jumping off point, if you will. However you choose to make it, it’s …
This homemade guacamole, like the Homemade Pico de Gallo recipe I posted earlier this week, is one of my oldest recipes. A 2008 post with crappy photos really wasn’t doing it justice, and, to be honest, I’ve tweaked this recipe a lot depending on what I have on hand. Did you know making homemade guacamole …
If we still have tomatoes on the vine here in Idaho, I KNOW we’re not alone. Snag some of those ripe beauties and make some pic de gallo before everything is frozen over and dead! This homemade pico de gallo recipe is actually one of the original recipes from my first year of blogging (2008!) …
