Top ten gifts for the cook in your life
We all know that one person who lives in the kitchen and loves creating food. In my house, that person is me! These gift ideas are all under $50, and are all products I own and use (or something very similar) or have personally added to my own Christmas list! Some of these are even

Watermelon radish salad with golden beets and creamy lemon vinaigrette
This is only the second time I’ve had watermelon radishes, and I don’t know why I don’t keep them in stock! I ran across this one at Whole Foods along with the golden beet (which I had not only never tried but never heard of). When I sliced these two veggies open and tasted them

The top five cooking toy gifts to get kids for Christmas
My kids love “helping” me cook. They love — even more— stealing my cooking utensils and “cooking” things in the back yard with mud and leaves. These cooking toys are good enough to keep them out of my stash and make them happy on Christmas morning! These are affiliate links, which only means I get

Tuscan peasant soup made gluten-free
My sister in law got me a copy of Marcella Hazan’s “Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking” for my birthday, and I’ve spent the last week reading it cover to cover. It’s an amazing cookbook, especially if you are a cookbook fangirl like I am. One recipe stuck out to me last week — the Tuscan

Healthy chocolate protein shakes
This one is a kid favorite. And a hot tip, the leftovers can be combined with some baileys for Mom for after they go to bed. Recipe: Two tablespoons good cocoa powder, a half scoop of grassfed whey, about three cups ice, one cup coconut milk (the kind in a carton, not the can), a

The absolute best Saturday night meal: Salmon tostadas
This meal has been a favorite in our family for years. You can use whatever fish you like or have on hand to sub for the salmon, and if you want to make it paleo just omit the beans and cheese and have it in a lettuce or cabbage cub. The sauce makes it feel

Cranberry Custard Pie
I have a little trick at the holidays. I am sensitive to gluten and dairy, which is easy to avoid on main dishes like turkey. But for dessert it’s a little more dicey, so I always bring one of my own. I’ve had this recipe rolling around in my head for awhile and finally decided
