Parchment is one of your kitchen BFF's. Especially when you want to delicately cook fish. 'En papillote' just means 'in parchment' in French. 'Al cartoccio' is the Italian equivalent. Cooking en papillote is so easy because it does the work for you. I'm a fan of any process where...

 Fall, football, tailgates, rainy days inside, comfort food, pot luck dinners with friends. Chili is perfect for any said occasions. But instead of buying a couple quarts from the grocery store (or even worse...Wendy's), you can throw a few ingredients in a pot, leave...

Chicken noodle soup is right up there with mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and chocolate in the comfort food lineup. There's just something soothing about a warm bowl of soup. Who can resist protein-filled broth infused with herbs, soft noodles, delicate veggies, and tender...

These have no flour, no oil, no white sugar and are gluten free, dairy free, grain free, and vegan! And did I mention that I am a meat eater, dairy eater, and sometime grain and gluten eater? So why, you ask, would I make and eat these cookies? BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD. Very good....

Please forgive my absence. I know it's been almost two weeks since my last post, but I've been very busy and haven't been cooking much. I am happy to say that I got a full time job, and I'll be working soon. So bring on the late-night posts, the photo editing until the wee hours...

If you haven't noticed lately, I've been eating a lot of vegetables. Like this, or these, or here, or these. As in basically only vegetables for the past week. That's because they were going to go bad I love them so much. Thus, I figured I'd treat myself with a few carbs...

My grandma used to make this for summer dinners growing up. If you can't already tell, I am heavily influenced my both of my grandmothers' and my mother's cooking styles. Cooking is not only about nourishing your body, taking care of your loved ones, and having a creative outlet,...

Part 4 of 4 in the vegetable snack series! There are only 4.8 carbs in 1cup of eggplant, and there are 37 carbs in one medium potato. Pretty much speaks for itself! So clearly, eggplant makes the healthier option, but potatoes make better snacks. I'm here to prove the latter...

Part three of four! Hummus is right up there alongside guacamole and salsa as a quintessential dip. It's also incredibly simple, and you only need a few, key ingredients (that most people already have in their kitchens) to make it. Start by draining and rinsing two 15oz....
