Spicy Hummus Deviled Eggs

Spicy Hummus Deviled Eggs
These spicy hummus deviled eggs will become your favorite! Easter isn’t a big holiday in my family, but one thing that was always on our Easter dinner table was deviled eggs.  Not a big fan of mayo, so these greek yogurt and hummus stuffed eggs are my new favorite way to make deviled eggs.

Garlicky Creamy Hummus

Garlicky Creamy Hummus
This garlicky creamy hummus is money!  You may already have the ingredients in your pantry! When the pandemic started suddenly I was gifted three hours of no commute.   I never really watched YouTube except to look up recipe ideas, or learn how to make something like gnocchi from an Italian grandmother.  But, I started watching Isabel Paige – a young woman who built a tiny...

Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa

Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa
This Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa has been made routinely in my house for 11 years.  It is so flavorful! The Baja Fresh restaurant near us closed down several years ago.  In fact the closest one to me know is in Wisconsin!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
When my husband was alive, I tried to “trick” him into eating healthier things under the guise of something else.  Like these buffalo cauliflower bites I made the other night – I may have attempted to pass them off as chicken!! My favorite story though is when I thought I could trick my husband by adding red quinoa into his meatballs and spaghetti.  I literally...
