Sweet potatoes are my favorite side dish of the Thanksgiving meal. I haven’t met a sweet potato recipe I didn’t like, especially when they have a spicy flavor profile instead of sweet. That’s why I love these Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes. They have just a touch of sweetness from honey and a little kick of…
Jicama, Kiwi, Corn, and Black Bean Lettuce Wraps
These Jicama, Kiwi, Corn, and Black Bean Lettuce Wraps are dressed with a fantastic honey-mint vinaigrette and are crazy good! I seriously could not stop eating them! I found a recipe for a jicama, kiwi, corn salad with honey-mint dressing in my new Inspiralized Cookbook (affiliate link) and knew I had to give it a try. It…
Honey Apple Cake
My sister-in-law, Becky, made this Honey Apple Cake one year while visiting over the Christmas Holidays. It was so delicious, we all loved it, and I’m happy she shared her recipe with me. Since the cake is made with apples and honey I thought it would be a perfect dessert to make and share this…
Asian Grilled Chicken

Bourbon Ice Tea
This Bourbon Ice Tea is a result of my quest to find a few bourbon drinks that I actually enjoy. If you’ve followed along with me on this blog you know how much I love my vodka drinks. But it’s time to try other spirits and I’m bound and determined that one of them will be…
Apricot Mascarpone Stuffed Puff Pastry
I don’t do a lot of desserts on this blog, mostly because there’s no one around much to eat it up besides me and my husband if he’s in town, which means I’m pretty much the only person eating it. However, the other day I picked up some apricots at the market and thought I’d…
Beet, Peach & Goat Cheese Salad
OMG you guys, this Beet, Peach & Goat Cheese Salad with walnuts, mint and a balsamic glaze is one awesome creation! I had a friend visiting last week and very little in the fridge to offer. So it was a bit of a scramble to come up with something to make for a light dinner…
