Favorite Flourless Chocolate Cake
Decadent and delicious, this flourless cake will be a special addition to any holiday table and is also a good option for those who need a gluten-free dessert. When it comes to chocolate cake, I’ve always preferred light and fluffy over rich and dense. When my husband and I married, I wanted a chocolate…
Mayo-Free Cumin Lime Slaw

Immunity Boosting Smoothie
Looking for some immunity boosting magic? If you’ve skimmed a newspaper or tuned into the morning news (anyone else a Hoda fan?) even once or twice over the past few weeks, you likely know this is the worst flu season in years. As if that’s not enough, there’s a severe upper respiratory infection and a…
(Slow Cooker) Ginger Curry Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes
Easy to make and deeply satisfying, a simple adjustment makes this soul-warming soup vegan-friendly. A few weeks into my son John’s first semester at college, a friend asked him to sign a Meatless Monday pledge. He figured one day a week without meat wouldn’t be too hard, so he put pen to paper.

Crunch Salad with Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Store the base mix in the fridge for crisp, wholesome salads at the ready. For a satisfying, complete meal, simply top with a favorite protein. I recently read a magazine article that proposed tossing the kale from your refrigerator, forgoing roasted Brussels sprouts at your favorite restaurant, and sliding your avocado toast into the…
Roasted Feta with Honey
A dear friend called this delicious appetizer easy but “showy,” and it’s a perfect description! As the New Year approaches, it’s natural to ponder our hopes and dreams and to consider the multitude of resolutions we could make (and possibly break) in the months ahead. It’s also a good time to look back…

Spinach & Artichoke Egg Casserole
In the last week alone, I’ve received quite a few reader requests for more low-carb, protein-rich meals. It seems we’re all in the same boat–and that boat has an endless supply of sugary cookies, creamy dips, and salty snack mixes. Tis the season! So I decided to take inspiration from a party staple–cheesy, gooey, baked…
Easy Hand & Body Sugar Scrub
This customizable, boutique-worthy scrub is effective, economical, and smells good enough to eat. It also makes a thoughtful gift that can be made in minutes! Dry, cracked, or otherwise flaky skin isn’t the most exciting topic of conversation, although I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who deals with it. But guess what?…
Homemade Cold Remedy
The holidays are full of family, friends, and good cheer. All the fun and festivities, however, seem to go hand-in-hand with a present none of us want—the common cold. There’s no joy to be found in the common cold, and I’ve long been intrigued by any home remedy that claims to alleviate its symptoms. Several…
