So, Kara discovered some delicious Sweet Potato Curry Hummus one day at Earth Fare, and decided to tell the world how awesome it was. It was so good that she decided she needed to make her own version. Me? I’m totally cool with that. Sadly, it’s all gone now because we horked it all down pretty…
Roasted Rosemary Potato Salad
This recipe was a happy accident! I had a bag of frozen roasted rosemary potatoes that needed using and needed to make a potato salad to take to a family cookout. I ended up throwing everything but the kitchen sink in and it turned out to be a HUGE hit. Now I just make it…
Frozen Key Lime Pie
Traditional Key Lime Pie has a serious cult following to the extent that fans argue over exactly how it has to be made. Graham cracker crust or pastry crust? Key limes, which are more tart and aromatic, are a must over their larger cousin the Persian lime more readily found in the supermarket in the states. You…
Memorial Day Weekend & A Bean Salad
We spent part of Memorial Day weekend at Watts Bar Lake with my family where my dad and step-mom live. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather, except still a bit too cool to go for a swim. But we could go for a boat ride! My dad took my sister, nieces, and us out for…

I like to top mine with a serving of simply grilled chicken breast for a punch of protein, but that’s completely optional. This salad can totally…
Banana Split Cheesecake
A well known fact about me – I love ice cream. So much that before we started really eating healthy, I once bought 4 gallons of Blue Bell ice cream when it went on sale for $2.49 each. One of my favorite Blue Bell flavors is the banana split. If I did not control myself,…
Grilled Corn Salad
Summertime. It’s really hot. Summertime also means grilling out a lot (at least in my house it does). Burgers, hot dogs, pork chops, veggies, fish, etc. So how about a crisp, smoky, cool salad to go along with those juicy burgers? Instead of the ole stand by of corn on the cob… This is super…
Homemade Butter
Making homemade butter is surprisingly simple and easy, especially if you have a KitchenAid Mixer. Here we were, sitting in our PJ’s watching Alex Guarnaschelli on her show, ‘Alex’s Day Off’ and she just “whipped up some homemade butter” Of course she did. She’s an awesome chef. But after watching her make it, we said…
