I have been wanting to share this recipe for Cranberry Olive Tapenade ever since I made it at a Christmas party several years ago, but I kept forgetting to take photos of it! Finally, this year I had the perfect opportunity to write about it, when I received a sample of Triscuit’s new Nutmeg &…

Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub
Cedar Plank Salmon with Moroccan Spice Rub I’ve been hearing about how good salmon is when cooked on a cedar plank for some time now, but I only recently gave it a try for myself. I was in Safeway and I happened to notice a nice pink slab of salmon stretched out on a cedar plank…
Unicorn Frozen Yogurt Slices
My kids and I are big Starbucks fans. Our Saturday morning routine is to go grocery shopping and stop at Starbucks afterwards for a treat. They look forward to it every week, and so do I. So when the Unicorn Frappuccino craze happened, we were eager to try them. Since then, it seems like everywhere you…
Papaya Mango Strawberry Fruit Roll-ups
Bennett has been asking for fruit roll-ups a lot lately. I guess they must be a popular treat at school right now, and I think they’re fine as a treat, but not something I want to feed my kids every day. I remembered I used to make homemade fruit roll-ups when the kids were younger,…
Shortcut Bibimbap
As I was photographing this Shortcut Bibimbap recipe, the kids came up to me to ask what I was making. “Bibibap — Bibimpap, ” I stuttered. “I mean Bibimbap!” They just stared at me with puzzled looks on their faces, and walked away. It’s a hard word to say (for me anyway), but trust me, it’s easy to make. My…
You-Choose Chili

They’re not necessarily recipes, just general guidelines on what to make for dinner each night. So Monday might be…
Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup
Yes, another soup recipe! Clearly, I’m obsessed with soup lately. I’m sorry, I can’t help it. There’s just something so comforting about a big bowl of hot soup. I’ve been experimenting with this particular recipe for Curried Cauliflower Lentil Soup for a while now, testing it until I perfected it. Although my kids may disagree, I think I’ve come up…
Smoothie Fun with Epicure {GIVEAWAY}
Spring is in the air, and as the weather gets warmer, I start to crave smoothies. A cold smoothie bowl is so refreshing for breakfast on a sunny morning. If we’re on the go with no time to sit down for breakfast, we can sip on smoothies on our way out the door so we can still start…
How to Freeze and Reheat Cooked Rice for Quick Meals
You know those evenings when you wish you could just have food magically appear on the table? I have a lot of those evenings. Sometimes I need something lightning fast to eat while rushing from work to soccer practice, or when I’m working late at the office, or when I just want to wind down…
Cranberry Gingerbread Granola
I usually make some kind of Christmas treats to give out to family and friends at Christmas. Last year, it was homemade marshmallows. Other years, I’ve done spice mixes, baking mixes, and other goodies you can find in my Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas post. This year, I felt like making something healthy but still really…
