Salads are a staple in my diet and one of my favorite new recipes to create! This Brussels sprout salad has craveable ingredients like freshly chopped sprouts, salty parmesan cheese, juicy pomegranates, and a tangy mustard dressing that leaves your diners wanting more. YUM! Crisp vegetables like Brussels sprouts tend to hold up well as […]

I grew up skiing in Deer Valley and have memories of the world’s best hot apple cider served across all the dining spots on the mountain. For me, hot apple cider is nostalgic so this spiced slow cooked hot apple cider has a special place on my holiday menu. As I grew up I’d serve […]

Holidays always call for classic comfort treats and make in advance–no fuss creations like these pumpkin snickerdoodles, that leave you time to enjoy family and friends. Snickerdoodles are a simple cookie that get rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked just perfectly so there’s no crunch, just soft, chewy deliciousness. As always these are gluten free […]

Here’s a peek into the process: First, I steam the cauliflower briefly so it’s soft enough to smash […]

Chocolate and peanut butter is always a good idea and when you add “easy” into the mix you’ve scored the perfect dessert choice. Chocolate peanut butter bars are so versatile-pile them up with some berries and other treats on a platter for dessert or keep them in the freezer for a after school treat for […]
