Black Forest Cherry Waffle Cake
Happy National Waffle Day, y’all! Waffles make me happy. Just the word “waffle” makes me happy. People who waffle don’t make me so happy. But eating waffles does. Especially when they’re in cake form, like this Black Forest Cherry Waffle Cake. What the what? That’s what I said. I’ll come right out and say it -- I’ve never eaten a waffle cake before. But something told me that the idea was a good one, so I went for it. And erma... Read More ›

My favorite way to make it at home is grilled octopus salad with lots of cherry tomatoes, red peppers, and fresh basil. It’s perfect for a hearty appetizer, but honestly, I can eat a big plate of it as... Read More ›

Easy Tilapia Tacos
There’s a reason why fish tacos are a favorite! I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you all today…because I am seriously nuts about fish tacos. They are one of my all-time favorite meals to make, partly because they can be ready to go in less than 20 minutes, and partly because they’re healthy and fresh. But mostly I love fish tacos because they are just so good. Like, SO good! I have taught a handful of friends over the... Read More ›

6 Ways to Falafel
There are two things I love in this world: Mexican food and falafel. So imagine how much my mind was blown when I discovered that you can, indeed, have BOTH at the same time. It was epic, let me tell you. These Tex Mex Falafel Tacos were the source of said mind blowage. When you make crispy falafel patties using black beans, taco seasoning and other Mexican-inspired ingredients, then tuck them into a tortilla with creamy lime-cilantro yogurt... Read More ›

Corned Beef Hash Benedict
Corned beef is one of those foods that walks the line between simple and elegant. At its core, it’s just pickled beef that has been cured and simmered, but if you make it at home you can customize the flavors and make it your own. No matter if you make it from scratch or have one prepared for you, you’ll almost certainly have leftovers after a big corned beef dinner. In fact, I would make sure you do – then you can make this Corned Beef... Read More ›

Quinoa Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce
It’s no wonder quinoa has gotten so popular in the past few years. Not only is it super healthy and delicious, it’s also crazy versatile! I've used it in soups, stews, and risottos, and as a replacement for rice, pasta, polenta, oatmeal…and now meat! These Quinoa Burgers are a perfect place for the supergrain to shine as a meat replacement. They not only come out juicy and tender, they’re packed with protein and have a meaty flavo... Read More ›
