It’s been a while since I’ve done a restaurant experience recap! (It’s kind of hard when COVID-19 rules still don’t allow us to eat inside NYC restaurants at this time!) But we order takeout about once a week currently and tonight we had an amazing experience trying Sweetgreen so I wanted to share about it!!
Read MoreIf you saw my Brussels sprouts and garlic bacon aioli post earlier in the, this is the scallops recipe I was hinting at! While my sauce didn’t turn out the same color as the author’s photos, it was delish!
Read MoreY’all already know we LOVE roasted Brussels sprouts! This garlic bacon aioli really elevates roasted Brussels sprouts and makes a great healthy appetizer or just a dressed up side for dinner. We tried this recipe tonight and it was tasty, easy and simple! And check back later this week to see the scallop recipe we paired them with!
Read MoreI am LOVING these yummy food allergy / gluten intolerant friendly snack bars! I hadn’t heard of this brand before Darrell mentioned wanting to try some of their products and when we he grabbed a box of the Made Good Chocolate Banana Granola Minis, I spied these granola bars and decided to throw them in the basket!
Read MoreYesterday was Darrell’s birthday! I wanted to bake Darrell an extra special birthday cake since I know how much he loves this dessert. I had never baked a cake from scratch before and a couple weeks ago I decided his birthday would be the time I give it a try! It was so much fun and it turned out SOOO GOOOOD!!! Like I’m shocked to say this homemade gluten free cake beat even the fancy bakery gluten free cakes I’ve had before!
Read MoreBob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour wins again!! This recipe required one simple swap to make it both gluten + nut free for Darrell and I to both enjoy!
Read MoreWe treated ourselves to some AMAZING gluten free cinnamon roll pancakes this morning! Oh my goodness they were incredible!! A couple weekends ago, I woke up on a Saturday morning craving cinnamon rolls. Darrell suggested we find a bakery that has them and go on a little spontaneous breakfast adventure. When we arrived at the bakery, we realized they only made cinnamon rolls if you ordered them in advance.
Read MoreSalads! A long lost friend since coronavirus began. Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of making salads at home because I feel like it doesn’t matter what I do, they do not taste restaurant-quality and the dressings in particular seem to require a ton of ingredients that I don’t keep on hand. So I end buying weird ingredients and the cost adds up, then the DIY dressings rarely taste awesome and I end up with a bunch of random stuff taking up space in my fridge door or pantry because I needed a tablespoon of it once upon a time. Anyone else feel my pain in this department?? All of that to say, I was pleasantly surprised to LOVE this salad!! So much so, I had a bowl of it again today.
Read MoreWhile temps haven’t been quite as warm here in NYC as they seem to be for our family and friends back in KY, we have still been looking for ways to cook “cooler” sides for our meals as we inch toward summer. Last night, we tried a recipe for a Radish Cucumber Salad. It was so refreshing and something different to mix up our veggie sides.
