So let’s go with: I’m going to whip these out again one day and impress someone. They look amazing. They taste even more amazing. And you can pretend that they’re healthy (they’re not). I did forget to add that extra drizzle of caramel, but you know, that’s how these things go. I used McIntosh apples because that’s what I had lying around the house, and I wasn’t able to make the nice rings that the gunny sack described. Because my apples were softer, I just cut out from the center instead, making sure not to cut through the base.…

And it was almost Thanksgiving, so I figured I’d have an order delivered the week following; that way I wouldn’t have to go grocery shopping when I got home after traveling for the holiday. I’ve only made one recipe so far and here’s my conclusion on Hello Fresh: it’s convenient, but I see no need to have a weekly or even a…

I’ve been on a health kick. Trying not to overeat and trying to make healthier choices. But foooooood is so yum, it’s hard. BuI found these baked southwest egg rolls and thought they’d be super tasty! With some salsa and fresh guacamole on the side, they make for a nice fresh dinner or a perfect appetizer! I didn’t have black beans, so I just used pinto beans instead. I imagine it’d be fine either way, just use whatever you prefer or have on hand! If you’re planning to use the egg rolls as appetizers, I would try making them in…

I recently discovered that I don’t mind brussel sprouts. I honestly had never tried them before last year when I first made this recipe. To be fair, it was because my mother hates them and obviously never made them for us growing up because she didn’t want to eat them. So to my young self, since everyone said brussel sprouts were icky, they were obviously icky! Child logic at work for you. I actually discovered that I liked brussel sprouts at a cooking class. I use the term “like” loosely here. I like them for a vegetable — they’re still…

It’s pretty rare that I make a recipe from scratch. Most times I just browse pinterest until I’m drooling then pick the thing that is most drool-worthy that day. But these chicken burgers are quite tasty, and I’m pretty proud of them. Even more so because I snuck a veggie into the burger. Plus with homemade pesto, I feel like it’s complete. Making pesto feels so summery to me. Those big basil plants, snitching a few toasted pine nuts that cost way too much but are way too tasty. I use basil mostly, although sometimes I throw in some parsley…
