Pesto is my jam. I love it on pasta (see recipes number one, two, three). I love it on sandwiches. I love it in salads. I love it on a spoon… *no shame* As you can see, I am pretty obsessed with pesto sauce. Besides it’s delicious flavor, I love that pesto is SO EASY…
Whipped Avocado Dip
I don’t know when I fell in love with avocados, but I am sure glad that I did! From guacamole to avocado toast, I try to squeeze this green fruit into my diet as much as I can. Hey, it’s a good source of healthy fat! My sister, my mom, and The YIA are also…

Basic Roasted Potatoes

But I’m lazy… who has time to whip up breakfast potatoes when you can stay in bed and…
Happy April Fool’s Day! (White Bean Hummus)
Happy April Fool’s Day! (can you believe that it’s April already?!) I am not big on pulling pranks, today or any day, but if you want to play a delicious prank on your family and friends, whip up a batch of my mom’s April Fool’s Hummus (which is absolutely harmless!). It is a twist on…
