UPDATE: THIS POST AND RECIPE WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 2015. I HAVE UPDATED IT TO REFLECT NEW INFORMATION AND HELPFUL CONTENT! Anybody craving potato salad? We pull this classic potato salad with pickles recipe out at least once a summer over here, and the time is now. My Dad was often the potato salad maker growing…
Does the world need another Instant Pot carnitas recipe? Probs not but I still have one for you. And you’re welcome. You can consider this my shock and awe share because I didn’t see an Instant Pot sitting on my counter thing coming. I’m old enough and smart enough to know that never is NEVER…
This is my kind of food. A recipe that is made to take you through the week in almost any form. I mean, I ALWAYS start with a taco, but it inevitably ends up on my eggs, on top of some greens or an avocado, on another version of a taco with eggs, or by itself…
A few years ago, I was looking for mayonnaise without soy, sugar and other strange ingredients for shelf life. I knew that it should be mostly eggs and oil but nowhere was this to be found at the time. I began making my own here and there. The only time it didn’t work was when…

Our summer officially started today. NO ONE got up this morning at 5:30 AM, at least no one that didn’t want to get up. NO ONE had to shower or eat before 8. NO ONE, meaning one child in particular whom we love a lot, even though he might not be sure after reading this….
“Give me all the green things!” That is literally what my mind is screaming come January and February. Along with “Dear God, how can it be so cold?” and the inevitable “Why do we live here?” You can’t fully understand how obvious and annoying it is to be still asking these Q’s unless you’ve lived here…
While I love to cook, bake, and experiment in the kitchen, I’m with any of you who might dread the 5 pm dinner decision. What do we have? What do we make? Who’s cooking? While 5 pm is not the ideal time to begin asking these questions, it happens more than I like. Do you ever do…
I totally forgot about wild rice until I made those stuffed apples in December. Then the half empty bag of rice was sitting there staring at me from my cupboard. Which is what Kale did for months every time I opened the refrigerator. I made kale chips a few years back and the leftover fresh kale just glared at me…
Everything I am about to share with you is a gift for the remainder of your Thanksgiving week. It’s a hug in the form of greens. It’s positivity sandwiched before and after your indulgent Thanksgiving day. In case I’m confusing you here, it’s actually a salad, but it accomplishes both hugs and positivity. You are going to want…
