BBQ Pork Belly Bites | Chris Cooks
Everyone has their game-day snack, and this one is mine. During the summer these are amazing on the Traeger, but winter in Idaho doesn't always cooperate so this is my alternate - all you need is an oven. You can use whatever your favorite bbq sauce is, but if you're looking to try something new, […]

Chris Cooks: Watercress Chimichurri
So many diets out there, it's so nice when you come across something that is safe for just about all of them. Chimichurri is one such thing. Chimichurri is a condiment made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil (and a few other things) that is amazing on meats and vegetables alike. I add fresh […]

On a quest for perfume--Do you have a signature scent??
Do you have a signature scent? I remember having this conversation while visiting our good friends in Chicago a couple years ago. Kim wears Clinique Happy--which couldn't be more her--and I smiled remembering stealing a spritz of my mom's when I was in high school. In between douses of Love Spell, of course...if you know, you know. […]

This smoothie is like that, but it catches you off guard and is so delicious. A few great things about this smoothie - it's dairy free, grain and gluten […]

My Workout Leggings, Ranked from Favorite to least!
I came to the stark realization the other day that I own more workout leggings than any other pants in my closet. I've been collecting them, almost without purge for yeeeaaarsss. And with that realization, came the other very clear epiphany that I wear the same ones over and over--bypassing sometimes entire brands, for my tried […]

Winter Salad and Sweet Potato Dressing
Salad doesn't always feel "wintery" to me, but once the holidays pass and my body can't take anymore sugar, I just need something fresh. But I also like to eat seasonally, when I can. Serving Platter This Winter Salad features a lot of vegetables (root and otherwise), shaved super thin, and dressed in a sweet […]

Casual Friday: My Skincare Essentials
Mid 2019, my skin tanked. It broke out everywhere--the photo below was when it was just ramping up. It was related to my thyroid medicine that I had to be one for 6 months before I insisted THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! It was physically and mentally painful and I have spent the last year […]

Three Delicious Crab Dips (gluten, grain, and dairy free!)
Crab dip isn't inherently "holiday," but it's always just been that way for me growing up. I don't ever remember having it any other time of year, even though I love it so much.
