For my 10th birthday, I asked for a big bag of strawberries.  I’m sure my parent’s were like 1. We have a weird kid. And 2. Sweet, this is cheap. 

How can you blame me, strawberries are the best!!  Especially in my Strawberry Banana Bread.

The sun is out, it’s warming up, I got asparagus on my mind.  Happy SPRING!  Asparagus sings Spring.  No Easter celebration, Mother’s day, or really any get together this time of year is complete without asparagus.

It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.  And by this, I am OF COURSE speaking of Beef Enchiladas.  These can only be described by the four S’s:  Savory, Spicy, Satisfying, SO Easy.

“Cauliflower is nothing more than cabbage with a college education.”  - Mark Twain. 

I beg to differ, Mark.  Cauliflower is LIFE.  Especially when perfectly seasoned, air-fried crispy, and tossed with buffalo sauce.

Nothing screams FESTIVE like a marinated pretzel, am I right?  All kidding aside, these little gems are just the perfect snack to have out, at all times.  Party pretzels are tangy, ranch-y, lemon pepper-y, garlic-y, marinated goodness.   https://t.co/pLnSjHIx5C

There is nothing more magical than the Holiday Season.  Full of hustle and bustle, shopping, baking, cooking, family, and tradition.  It IS the most Wonderful time of the year!

Turkey Ramen Soup.  All of the nostalgia of warm and comforting noodle soup, but with edgy heat, and creamy goodness.  Simple ingredients, elevated flavor.  

A sucker for tradition, I still made Thanksgiving Dinner even though it was just us.  https://t.co/2lKinv5XVs

Taking it back to the old school…..  Well, kind of.  This GORGEOUS, fun, dreamy, perfectly sweet, tart, crunchy, cranberry salad may look like a blast from the past, but it’s bursting with fresh flavors, sans the cool whip and jello.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookes are just sweet enough, perfectly chewy, and are basically what cookie dreams are made of.  https://t.co/QJg8h6jhPn

Game Day.  Game ON!  Cowboy Caviar for the WIN!  Packed with veggies, beans, and a zesty dressing, COWBOY CAVIAR will be a new fan favorite in your house.

This is one of my all time favorite recipes. https://t.co/b2Vth8SmNW

Less Upsetti, More Spaghetti.  This is my new 2020 mantra.  I think we all need a mantra about now!  And PASTA!  Baked Spaghetti is classic, and comforting. https://t.co/mA3sQSSiW7

What did you have for breakfast?  Pea soup.  What did you have for lunch?  Pea soup.  What did you have for dinner?  Pea soup.  What did you do all night?  Pee soup.  Haha.  My love for pea soup goes back to childhood.  https://t.co/EBgSFUhMOp

Recently after a recipe blunder (happens to the best of us right?), I was left with egg whites that needed re-inventing.  https://t.co/m2mZ59gnpH

9 out of 10 people like chocolate, and the 10th person is lying.  Especially when presented with a decadent, perfectly-sweet-but-not-too-sweet, MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE.  

What is lava cake?  Think of a volcano.  https://t.co/OITIKcHK6A

Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings.  Grandma’s recipe.  It just doesn’t get better than this!  Anyone that knew my Grandma, Janet, knew that she could bake, or cook anything.  https://t.co/0fhSzzDoR3

We LOVE this salad in our house.  It’s got it all.  https://t.co/TbHeD8etZE

You guys, did you know you can cook Gnocchi on a sheet pan?  Like really cook it? It turns out tender, with a lovely little crisp on the outside.  Want to make it a meal? I did!  So I added veggies and sliced chicken sausage to the pan.  https://t.co/K2xZZw94Ij
