Mini Chocolate Cheesecake

February 15th, 2023Tina0 Comments

Guys, I’m obsessed with this small chocolate cheesecake! Last year I made a small cheesecake and it was glorious. When I found a recipe for a chocolate version, I simply had to try it. I mean chocolate + cheesecake = more better. In case it wasn’t obvious with the title of the post, this chocolate cheesecake is small, as in only 4 inches wide. Some of you may think that it’s silly to go through all the effort to make a small dessert, but it’s not to me. If I made a normal size chocolate cheesecake for me and my …

Oven Baked Chicken Thighs

If you’re in a food rut then I’ve got an easy recipe for you. It’s been a dreary winter and this is about the time of year that I relish the sunshine more than normal. It’s amazing how my mood can instantly improve when the sun is out. I usually try to avoid sunshine in my photos because it’s not always flattering to the food and it can cast hard shadows. I’m sure most of you don’t care or even notice #foodbloggerproblems. However, since I’m relishing in all the sun glow, I thought I’d let my photos do the same …

Roasted Carrots and Couscous Salad

Hello, cold February. All I want to do is eat pizza, bagels, and ice cream. I wish that I could say that’s a winter thing, but if led to my own devices I would enjoy those foods 24/7, 365 days a year. Instead, I’m going to try to focus on creating and finding new healthy foods that I enjoy just as much, like this salad. I’m calling this a salad but I’m not sure it’s really one because there is no lettuce going on here. I do have a lot of fresh herbs to give it that green punch. I’ve …

Homemade Ranch Dressing

January 31st, 2023Tina0 Comments

I’ve made this ranch dressing for buffalo cauliflower sandwiches and bites, buffalo chickpea salad, and lots of other salads that I haven’t shared on the blog. It’s the bomb-digity. Do people still say that or am I dating myself? Anyway, I needed to give this dressing a spotlight of its own because I know I’ll refer to it often from other posts and I figure you might want to have an easy place to go when you just want to make it by itself. Now I know that you may be thinking that making a salad dressing or condiment is …

Top Recipes for Two

January 25th, 2023Tina0 Comments

Every year, around this time, I ask my husband if he’ll be my valentine until he agrees. I like to plan. 😉 Usually he says no until the day of and usually I ask him multiple times to see if he’ll agree ahead of time. This is obviously a running joke between the two of us because we both know we’re our forever valentines. Anyway, with Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought you might be looking for some recipes to make for a romantic night for two. I’ve got you covered with some appetizer, dinner and dessert ideas. I’ve included all …
