Gingerbread is one of the quintessential flavors of Christmas.

I love grits. LOVE them. But y’all, I’m going to be straight up honest here…I don’t like shrimp. I know, “what’s wrong with you? How can you have grits without shrimp?” Truth time: even eating good seafood, at the beach, I still can’t get past …

I love a good, quick weeknight dinner. We’re talking a “just ran in the door from work or errand-running and my kid is screaming for food and it’s 6pm and I have nothing planned for dinner” kind of quick dinner. But being a culinary diva …

Do you think you don’t like tofu? I thought that for a long time too. It doesn’t really have much of a flavor in its natural state. It has kind of a squishy, egg-like texture. No thanks. Then I had crispy tofu. And my life …

Most stuffed peppers I’ve seen involve a filling of meat and rice. I like rice as much as the next person, but what if you’re eating paleo, grain-free or summoning your willpower to finish your Whole30 strong?

Chipotles are the smokiest of peppers. They are the bacon to boring ham. The backyard, charcoal-grilled burgers to stovetop cooked.

Eggs benedict. The type of rich, decadent, delicious breakfast you don’t expect to be able to eat on Whole30. I don’t mean to brag, but figuring out ways to eat delicious things even on restrictive diets is kind of my specialty. Actually…I don’t know if …

You grew a human on the inside. PreggoLife. Likely with the irreplaceable supplementation of every condiment with a side of southern fried pickles. Straight vinegar to the mouth. The dankiest sauerkraut. The ideal elevator snack – canned sardines (saywhat). Fatty / butter-soaked / melty cheese …

This skillet is the best kind of meal. It’s humble and unassuming. You can chop the ingredients any way you want. The flavors party in your mouth. The salty and spicy balance each other perfectly. The runny egg yolks provide a built-in sauce. It comes …

Did your mom ever give you spaghetti squash as a kid and pass it off as actual spaghetti? Maybe not. Well mine did and I loved it then (usually with butter and brown sugar cause mama ain’t above a bribe) and I love it now. …
