I love everything that my friend Pamela Salzman creates – I just wish we lived closer so we could film more Instagram recipes together! I also love anything that mimics the flavors of pizza without the loaded heaviness and carbs, so when Pamela posted this I knew I had to share it with you. These are […]

crispy and cheesy smashed cauliflower

Move over junk food, these craveable cauliflower bites may just take the place of loaded cheesy snacks. Made with just cauliflower, seasoning and cheese, these come out so crispy and flavorful I’d probably recommend doubling the recipe. Here’s a peek into the process: First, I steam the cauliflower briefly so it’s soft enough to smash […]

Rosh Hashana Roundup: Jewish Apple Cake

read the post

Rosh Hashana (AKA the Jewish New Year) and all of the fall Jewish holidays always creep up so quickly and so surprisingly despite having them etched solidly into the calendar. Funny huh? It’s probably the combination of just exhaling from summer holidays, then jumping back into work and school routines but simultaneously being occupied with […]

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 […]

Peach Cake

A few years ago my friend Susi Dokken taught me how to make her melt-in-your-mouth gluten-free plum torte. So, when I had summer peaches laying around I just swapped the plums for the peaches and dare I say… I might be in love with this peach cake even more?? Thanks to a lovely amount of […]

As a sun lover and outdoor enthusiast, I’ve always cherished the warm embrace of the sun’s rays on my skin. I was that girl baking in a bikini on the beach, addicted to the tan lines and my skins “healthy” glow. However, my perspective on sun exposure took a significant turn in my 40s when […]

The last time I made my Frozen Watermelon Mojito the crowd went a little wild.

Gooey, flavorful, light and satisfying. Need I say more? The original inspiration for this recipe came from one of my visits to Canyon Ranch. They serve their version of this bread every morning at their rocking breakfast buffet (I don’t recommend eating this daily, it’s extremely hard to resist). Here is my spiced up gluten-free […]
