What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
Baking Dish | Striped Dish Towel (similar) I have a few recipes that are perfect for the holidays, and this is one of them. I make a really delicious brownie that can be made gluten-free and dairy-free, but you won't even know it's missing those elements when the peppermint flavor hits. It's really simple, and […]
I use our Ninja CREAMi all the time. It’s just so easy to make a super delicious dessert with almost no effort (other than an overnight freeze.) If you have someone in your house who can't have dairy, this little ice cream maker comes in clutch. It really can turn almost anything into something frosty, […]
I'm excited to share today's recipe with you because it's more than just a dessert—this baked pears & rosemary caramel recipe inspired a lip balm flavor! That's right, we launched a collaboration with our friends at Poppy & Pout based on three fall desserts that I developed just for you. We love Poppy & Pout […]
I love ordering crab cakes out—they're such a treat. But if I want to make crab cakes at home, they need to cater to our food restrictions. That means they have to be delicious AND have no eggs, dairy, wheat, gluten or grains. Well these knock it out of the park, thanks to some secret […]
I love a good dip, and it’s even better when they’re bubbling hot. It can be a challenge to find some really great dairy-free creamy dips, but this one delivers. And unlike many white bean dips, this one is not shy about big, bold flavors! So let's get down to the nitty-gritty of how I […]
Jules has really been into Brussels sprouts lately (as she showed in our fridge tour), and while she could eat them the same way every day, if I'm gonna enjoy it then I gotta mix it up. Roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts are a timeless pair - add a roasted red pepper sauce and this […]
Thank goodness there are great substitutions these days for dairy products. What used to be just milk alternatives has expanded into really delicious vegan cheese, yogurt and more. But with all of the options on the shelves these days, you may be wondering, "Which one should I choose for cereal? What about desserts?" I get […]
It's no secret that I'm a deviled eggs connoisseur of sorts. I've professed my love for smoked salmon deviled eggs, pickled beet deviled eggs — even drunken deviled eggs. But silly me skipped right over the classic deviled egg recipe, and I feel that it's best we back track and share how to make the […]
Most of the time when we go out to eat, I like to pick things that are not what we'd usually eat at home. I mean, a fancy steakhouse is great, don't get me wrong. But Chris can make steak and potatoes at home, so we normally go for something a little outside of his […]
I've shared a recipe for tasty mashed potatoes, we've talked perfecting the baked potato, and I've reached food nirvana with the cheese-less potato casserole. But this recipe today is extra special. There's something that just says "you made a lot of effort" about homemade scalloped potatoes, but that béchamel is a no-no for the dairy-free […]
Y'all, doesn't it feel like it's been back-to-back heavy meals for the past 6 months? Not that it hasn't been fun, but my 40-year-old digestive system just can't hang anymore. I'm finding that if I make sure I get some kind of raw vegetable in a few times a day, I feel so much better […]
Stone Chargers (similar) | Pink Napkins | Low Bowls | Candlesticks | Taper Candles | Dining Table This was the first meal I ever made for Julia. I made this for her on our first date, more than 15 years ago. She has dietary restrictions now that prevent her from eating gluten, dairy and grains, […]
I love creating new dishes and experimenting with flavors. But there are just some dishes that are classics and shouldn't be tampered with, especially when it comes to Holiday favorites. However, it's important to me that the classics I serve can be enjoyed by everyone at the table, with or without food sensitivities. And so, […]
I love a tasty non-alcoholic holiday drink this time of year, but is it just me, or do most holiday drinks tend to go in the cranberry direction? No shade on cranberries, but there are so many other delicious flavors from the season that I'd like to indulge in. So, I took matters into my […]
Despite us beginning to share Christmas content, I'm here to tell you that pumpkin time is far from over; in fact, it's just getting started, and so am I. In years past, I've made pumpkin chili and pumpkin cheesecake, but it's time I've made a warm bowl of homemade pumpkin soup. This recipe is not […]
Pork chops are a classic main course that can be elevated to a whole new level with the right sauce. In this recipe, I like to take the delicious simplicity of bone-in pork chops and pair them with a creamy and flavorful maple, mustard sauce. This dish is perfect for those looking to create a […]
