Bakery Style Strawberry White Chocolate Muffins

These strawberry white chocolate muffins are the best of both worlds: tender, fluffy fruit filled interiors with bakery style crunchy tops.

I’ve been testing these strawberry white chocolate muffins periodically for the last few months. At first because I really wanted to tweak them until I got the perfect golden-domed tops. But later on, I realized that it’s because nothing transports me to the briefly perfect British summer quite as much as fresh strawberries. Typical strawberry […]

Gluten Free Big Cluster Peanut Butter & Jelly Granola

You're just a handful of ingredients away from this Peanut Butter & Jelly Granola, flavored & sweetened with your favorite preserves or jelly.

Peanut butter and jelly granola… really, what’s not to love? The fun thing about this little recipe is that it’s sweetened by your favorite jelly or preserves, so it doesn’t need any added sweeteners. Which is a blessing if you’ve noticed how many granola recipes out there require huge amounts of very pricey maple syrup […]

Lemony Roasted Cauliflower Soup

This simple roasted cauliflower soup is flecked with roasty-toasty bits, seasoned with warm spices & brightened with lemon at the end.

The cook time on any recipe floating around the internet for caramelizing onions. If a recipe touts that their caramelized onions take less than thirty […]

Fig Tahini Seed Cycling Energy Balls

These fig flecked seed cycling energy balls are packed with tahini, sunflower & sesame seeds, so they're the perfect no cook treat for the luteal phase.

It’s contradictory, but: when you’re the only person who cooks, even in a home for two, you never make anything just the way you like it. My earliest food memories took place in various kitchens. There was the flour-dredged wooden table of Nanny D where we greased baking sheets with butter papers she’d hoarded for […]

French Onion Pot Roast

If you're looking for rich, deep flavors & simple ingredients, this French onion pot roast is for you. Bonus: it makes its own addictive onion-packed jus!

I’ve carried a single photo of my mother & I to every place I’ve ever lived for the last 20-plus years, but I’ve never really looked at it. I’d tuck the blurred image – me, squinty & self-assured despite the fact that my pink-buttoned dress likely hides a diaper; her, focused on the camera, the […]
