Pan Fried Dumplings

If you saw my last dumpling post – you learned that I spent time in China and love everything about it. During my time in QingDao, the host family I stayed with was incredible. They were so kind and loving and made me feel at home. The grandma would come over every morning after theContinue reading “Pan Fried Dumplings”

Baked Berry Oatmeal with Almond Butter

Oatmeal is a classic breakfast dish – but let’s be honest, oatmeal isn’t always the most satisfying thing to eat for breakfast. It can be mushy and bland if not cooked right and no one wants that to start their day off. That is where this baked berry oatmeal comes in! It is easy toContinue reading “Baked Berry Oatmeal with Almond Butter”

Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki

I’ll admit, these photos kinda look like tacos but they are far from it – or is a gyro considered a taco? Maybe that is why I love gyros so much, they are just mediterranean tacos! These are definitely not mexican tacos though – they are filled with so much flavor and fresh vegetables withContinue reading “Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki”

Blueberry Crumble Muffins

Muffins are a great way to start the day, especially when they are warm and fresh. These blueberry muffins are no exception and the crumble on top makes them even tastier!

Homemade Funfetti with Vanilla Buttercream

Funfetti has always been my favorite type of cake – probably because of the sprinkles. I LOVE sprinkles – especially rainbow sprinkles. I have always added them to ice cream and desserts because they are so fun and colorful. Anyways, growing up I baked a lot – but I was not as of a skilledContinue reading “Homemade Funfetti with Vanilla Buttercream”

Grilled Polenta with Roasted Tomatoes and Burrata

Polenta – the humble grain. It is often overlooked and forgotten about, but it shouldn’t be. It is so versatile and takes on the flavors you use. It can also be served hot and fresh with the consistency of a risotto. Or you can cool it and let it set and then grill or fryContinue reading “Grilled Polenta with Roasted Tomatoes and Burrata”

Vermicelli Noodle Bowl

I love a good noodle bowl! Especially when it is packed full of flavors and textures – like these vietnamese inspired bowls. They are light, spicy, acidic and sweet. I love all types of asian food and love trying to create my own versions at home. This dish features fresh vegetables, soft noodles, and meatballs.Continue reading “Vermicelli Noodle Bowl”

Tomato + Bacon Quiche

Mornings shouldn’t be harder than they already are. I am always rushed for time in the morning and eating breakfast is usually the last thing on my mind.
