This classic hummus recipe was a lifesaver during those first few weeks postpartum. The fiber, fats, and protein kept me full and satiated during those many nursing and pumping sessions. The olive oil and sesame (tahini) aid in reducing inflammation and help with gut health. I also cut out dairy […]
Balsamic Bacon Brussels Sprouts are a staple side dish in our kitchen. They are great with a simple grilled chicken thigh or as an addition to your Thanksgiving menu. They come together in about 20 minutes and will convert even your pickiest eaters to brussels sprout lovers. If you prefer […]
My Aunt Kathy is famous for her cranberry sauce. It’s so good you can often find us sneaking it straight from the jar by the spoonfuls. She was gracious enough to let me adapt her recipe for the blog so, thanks Aunt Kathy! This cranberry sauce recipe is incredibly easy […]
