The big day is drawing near for many students and I thought I would post some cookies I made for my friend Shelly when she graduated from medical assisting school last year. I don’t have anyone in my life graduating from anything right now, but I will say that I am very proud of my…

Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls
How’s the weather where you live? Its been a little moody here in Ohio. Just this week there was frost warning at night and a day later the high was 92. In this spring weather, some days are perfect for soup and some are perfect for this spring roll recipe. I hate using the oven…
Brown Rice with Creamy Cauliflower Sauce
If I had to pick my favorite dinner, it would be something Italian with a super unhealthy creamy white sauce. Alfredo something or other. Something with lots of butter, cream, and cheese. Sadly if I ate that as much as I wanted (every day) I would probably dead in 5 years. Luckily I have found…
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
I am so excited! I am so excited about lots of things. For starters, life in general and the new life that’s joined my little family. I am excited that I have finally recovered from having a baby. I am excited for summer. I am excited to start going on walks and jogs. I am…
A Month of Pie: Fruit and Cream Frozen Cheesecake
I saved this pie for last because it is pretty much the easiest pie in world to make. If you want just one more pie in your Thanksgiving spread, but you don’t have the time or energy to make one, try this pie. You do need at least enough time to freeze the pie, so…
A Month of Pie: Blackberry Mango Pie
I am dedicating this pie to my little niece Eleni. Her mom, my sister in law, told me that her kids have loved seeing all the different pies on my blog this month. I asked her if her kids had any recommendations for pie flavors. Jacob got his pumpkin pie a couple posts back. Lyd,…
A Month of Pie: Lime-Coconut Pie with Macadamia-Coconut Crust
Today’s pie is my favorite pie to date. It reminds me of my Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena body lotion that I used to wear in high school. I used to wear it because my high school crush (now my hubby) loved that scent, so of course he loved this pie. It is…
Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Popsicles
I’m back from my little vacation from blogging. I went a little while without posting. I have had some very time consuming things come up in my life recently and I just haven’t had the energy to make time to blog. I don’t know about you and where you live, but here in Columbus we…
Black Bean and Corn Quinoa Salad
Last week some friends invited us over for dinner and we offered to bring a side dish. I had no idea what I was going to make, even when I started making this. I had a nice new bag of tri color quinoa, so I started cooking that, not knowing where I was going to…
Mango Lassi
I have to admit, I didn’t actually know what a mango lassi was until last summer. Never even heard of it. Then one day I went to an Indian buffet that had endless mango lassi as part of the buffet. I think that was all I ate at the buffet. Glass after glass of the…
