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…
Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce
I’ve made this Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce several times over the past year or two. It’s really delicious and equally fantastic on salads, grilled meats, fish tacos, etc. I like it so much I thought it was about time to share it here for you all to enjoy as well! The first time I made this avocado…
Coconut Mango Lime Popsicles
I think this is going to be the summer of popsicles for me. It might have something to do with the Florida humidity, or at least that’s my excuse. The latest batch I made are these Coconut Mango Lime Popsicles and I just can’t get enough of them! We ate up all the Fruit Smoothie…

It was the first snowfall of the winter here in DC yesterday which means it was a perfect day to stay inside and make a pot of soup. I found an old recipe card of mine titled *Best Black Bean Soup* so I thought it was time to make it again and see if I…

Asian Grilled Chicken
It’s Labor Day, the weekend where everything is suppose to be cooked outside, on the grill! Have I mentioned how much I’ve been missing our BBQ grill this summer? Ugh, summer’s just not the same without a BBQ. However, I refuse to let apartment living get in the way of my craving for some…
Paloma Cocktail
My friend Susan has begged me to post a recipe for a drink with tequila. Apparently she gets really fabulous when she drinks tequila. And since she’s an avid reader of this blog and a huge fan I felt eager to oblige. But what to make with tequila besides a margarita??? I’ve always loved grapefruit…
