Marble Mule

This variation of a “mule” cocktail is so yummy that you just might need to buy an extra bottle of the Marble Gingercello! Remember, not all Gingercellos’ are created equal.

Sun-Dried Tomato Cheese Ball

Ironically this photo is exactly what I’m serving two friends tonight. My cheese ball recipe is probably 20 years old. I’m serving it with Siri Daly’s Cacio e Pepe Potato Chips, from her cookbook Siriously Delicious!

W3 Book Club-American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

Our book club co-hosts, Laura C. and Debbie, did it in style by assembling gift bags to help us get in the mood for our 150th get together for W3! They delivered them to each of us in advance of our virtual meeting. The bags contained an assortment of items included to make us think of balmy beaches and sun-kissed seascapes…

Homemade + Healthy “Fast Food”

This Monday, November 16 is National Fast Food Day! But how am I going to celebrate this quirky holiday? This year I’m going to embrace the make-it-at-home movement with some recipes I’ve tested out to mimic fast food, but with more healthful properties.

Homemade Chocolate Frosty

Thick chocolate shakes hit the sweet treat reward button but lack nutrient density in micronutrients and protein. My favorite plant-based smoothie mix is Realm. I especially love the Bold Cocoa Smoothie mix.

Air Fryer French Fries

I was slow to join the air fryer movement, but it honestly revolutionized my cooking. An air fryer is a fantastic way to reduce a massive amount of fat and calories without sacrificing taste and texture.

Butternut Squash - Farro Pilaf

This Thanksgiving, instead of your rich and heavy mashed potatoes try this Butternut Squash - Farro Pilaf, with its sweet notes of roasted squash and maple syrup and the tang of sherry vinegar and crumbled cheese. Farro is a type of wheat that originated in the fertile crescent and was even found in tombs of Egyptian kings!
