Sour Cream Key Lime Pie

If you read my blog somewhat frequently, you know that I am citrus obsessed! I loved adding any and all citrus to meals and desserts. Even though I have always liked Key Lime Pie, it was never on the top of my dessert list…until I met my husband.

Creamy Deviled Eggs

There are just some things in life that are really addicting! Potato chips, fries, cookies, chocolate…. and deviled eggs!! I feel like I can eat a million of these in one seating. I think the best deviled eggs I ever had were at a brunch in Houston, when my sister was living there.

Veggie Soup

Mmmmm soup….

Soup is one of my favorite things to eat! It’s warm and comforting, and everything I need in life. I make veggie soup all of the time! I find that it is a great way to use up veggies before they go bad. I tend to get ambitious at the grocery store, and think I am going to make more things than I actually have time for, so veggie soup is the answer to that.

Greek Orzo Salad

I know pasta has this whole sigma with it, but I am an Italian girl, and I refuse to kick pasta to the curb! I grew up in a house that had pasta for dinner at least once a week, so life without it just seems unfair.

Lemony White Bean and Basil Hummus

I’m pretty sure I didn’t even try hummus until I was in high school. I’m not sure if that ages me, but when I was growing up in Michigan, I don’t ever really remember seeing it around until I was older. Funny, because hummus is one of my son’s favorite things to eat EVER!

Sweet Potato Tacos with Avocado Sour Cream

Tacos are always a good idea! It seems to be a good idea pretty frequently in our house. We make them all of the time, I’m not sure if my husband is completely sick of them yet or not, but they are just so quick and easy!

Pink Strawberry and Sour Cream Scones

I am a major breakfast lover. I’m pretty sure I could have breakfast at every meal, and be completely content with life. Scones are one of my favorites, but I have to say, I am pretty picky. I am not a fan of soft cakey scones. I like them to be buttery and slightly crumbly.

Roasted Tomato and Zucchini Tart with Burrata and Basil

I am a veggie addict! I know I post how much I love desserts, but my love for veggies is almost, almost, equivalent to my love for sweets. I eat veggies throughout the day, and with every meal. I think I love basically every vegetable out there…yup…can’t think of one I don’t like right now.

Sour Cream Cornbread

Sour cream has to be one of my favorite ingredients ever! It is creamy and rich, silky and tart, while still being slightly sweet. The acidity allows your baking to turn out tender and light when combined with baking powder or baking soda.

Morning Oats with Hemp Milk, Chia Seeds, and Berries

I have posted pictures of these Morning Oats with Hemp Milk, Chia Seeds, and Berries on my Instagram stories, and it barely feels like a recipe, but I get asked by a number of people what it is! So, I thought I would share the “recipe” here!
