It’s a tradition for me to make birthday cakes for my friends and family, and this year Zach gave me a fun challenge of making a cake inspired by his favorite snow cone: a lavender lemonade flavor. I am so incredibly proud to share this recipe with you all. It’s tangy, floral, sweet and so …
Let’s all take a moment to thank Gigi Hadid for inventing pasta! Ok I’m obviously kidding, but she did share her recipe a while back for a vodka pasta sauce that casually went viral. With everyone under the sun taking a stab at the recipe, I wanted to share my version with you all. Honestly, …
Here’s my latest result in my adventures of trying out ingredients I’ve never used before. Harissa is a Tunisian (located in the northwest region of Africa) hot chili pepper paste, but it’s got a deeper flavor than your regular chili paste. It’s got earthy notes from the spice blend and roasted red pepper flavor, with …
Cream puffs (or pâte à choux if you’re feeling particularly french today) are often perceived as a fancy foo foo dish. Don’t get me wrong, I feel very luxurious when I eat them, and serving them to friends and family usually gets a few oohs and ahs. But these little puffs are deceivingly easy to …

After a holiday season full of indulging, it’s hard to get back on track when all I’m craving are cookies, holiday feasts, and junk food galore. Here’s a soup that’s comforting, warm, and surprisingly thick and smooth (title of my next R&B album?). It’s packed with butternut squash, lentils, and kale which in my opinion …
For the first time, I decided to take on Julia Child’s classic Boeuf Bourguignon recipe. I started making this recipe tonight full of hope; browning the beef, prepping the veggies, and as soon as I was ready to put it in the oven … it refused to turn on. I felt like I was having …
This recipe has only 5 ingredients for 1 delicious dinner! All done on one sheet pan, the teriyaki sauce goes so well with the sweet and filling sweet potatoes and zucchini. Minimal ingredients and minimal clean up make for maximum delicious.
You know I’m all about recipes that are fast, easy, and delicious. These Cinnamon sugar protein pancake muffins are sure to please the whole gang! The protein pancake mix is made with whole grain and packs 16 grams of protein per 2 muffins, which is pretty awesome if you ask me! I made these into …
