Paleo Fish ‘n Chips with Spicy Avocado Tartar Sauce

Before you get too excited, the tartar sauce is not Paleo.  BUT the rest is, so if you’re going strictly paleo, just skip the dipping sauce, it’s good enough to enjoy without it.  However, if you are allowing some creaminess into your life, the tartar is a must. I’m not usually the type of personContinue Reading

Happy Friday everyone!!  Hope you all had a great week.  Ummm, is it seriously December 14th??  Is Christmas really less than 2 weeks away? HOLY MOLY! Someone (me) is going to have to get going on that Christmas shopping!! I’m not worried, I work well under pressure (hehe, I hope). AHH! Ok, so today I’mContinue Reading

Truffled Ricotta Dip

  Ok, so I have this problem where I’m incapable of buying pre-made food items. Desserts, appetizers, anything.  I try, I try really hard to make my life easier and just buy a mix or something made for me but I always look at the price and then realize that I can easily make itContinue Reading

Cinnamon Apple Pumpkin Butter

Like our new outfit today?  I was in the middle of this post and a love fest with fall and I realized the blog was feeling way too summery for this amazing season.  It was time to throw in some images of leaves & cozy foods!  I’m going to try to change the look withContinue Reading

Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

Hey! Hope everyone had a great weekend! My mom & grandmother came to visit this weekend and we tried to make the best of what was a rather dreary weekend here in New England.  I took them for a drive up the coast and we walked around some nearby coastal towns.  There is always somethingContinue Reading

Artichoke & Kale Chicken

This meal was inspired by the artichoke kale dip they sell at Trader Joe’s.  If you haven’t had it before, it is seriously delicious. A few months ago I went shopping at Trader Joe’s and unintentionally ended up at the register with: artichoke dip, artichoke tapenade, marinated artichokes, frozen artichokes and fresh artichokes (among otherContinue Reading

Avocado, Parmesan & Basil Dressing

I have such a hard time buying dressing at the store because is usually full of all sorts of nasty ingredients including high amounts of sodium, corn syrup and ingredients I can’t pronounce.  I usually just end up making a basic vinaigrette but I was feeling a little more ambitious the other night so IContinue Reading

Roasted Garlic & Basil Hummus

I have this weird relationship with hummus.  I love it, and I buy it, and I get really excited about it but then somehow I always end up forgetting about it and it gets shoved in the back of the fridge and then it gets thrown out a few weeks later. SO, I thought IContinue Reading

Dips Galore & A Girls Weekend

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did!  Me and my girlfriends finally got to do our girl’s weekend that we’ve been trying to do for so long now.  We all had such a great time at my bachelorette party last summer that we decided to try and do it again at leastContinue Reading

Baked Feta with Spicy Tomato Sauce

This appetizer is so amazing that it has the ability to levitate right off the plate into your mouth.  I was able to catch it in this picture, the magical levitating feta is a secret family recipe but I figured it was time to share it with the world. I know what you’re thinking –Continue Reading
