One of my favorite dishes is fajitas, but I didn’t have any tortillas the other night when I went to make it. I didn’t want rice, so I tried out quinoa, and this turned out phenomenal. You will not be disappointed. I love quinoa because it makes a great rice substitute without all the simple…
I cannot take credit for this recipe. My husband found it on thekingofrandom.com, an awesome website full of fun science projects and household hacks. I will not be modifying the steps much, as the King of Random’s version is tried and true. He’s rather scientific about these things, dontcha know. Pour your gelatin and jell-o…

I had three sad looking bananas sitting in my fruit basket, but I wasn’t in the mood to make banana bread, so each day they sat there drawing guilt from me because I couldn’t bring myself to throw them away, but I couldn’t bring myself to make banana bread either. So I decided to turn…
When I was in college I had a Korean roommate who used to invite all her friends over and make Kimchi fried rice every Friday night. Those were good times. They were such fun people, and they made such good food! I remember trying Kimchi for the first time (and smelling it) and wondering why…
This is a great recipe for a chili cook-off.

The flavor has a little…
And by meaty, I mean amazing. This luscious, full-bodied dish has all of my favorite things combined into one bite: Italian sausage, pasta, sauteed mushrooms and onions, and rich marinara sauce. My husband loves when I cook this for him and insisted I post it on the blog. So here it is! Sautee…
I have not been able to find an ice cream substitute that I like. I mean, they’re all OK, but nothing to write home about. And then my mom brought some dairy-free chocolate ice cream to a birthday party once, I had a bite, and I HAD to get her recipe. It’s SUUUUPER easy, creamy,…
When I was a kid, we had a cluster of wild asparagus growing in our back yard. I used to sneak out and eat it right out of the ground. It was so crisp and fresh. Every time Spring rolls around I think of that wild asparagus, so I’m making a fresh asparagus salad in…
These are a perfect drink to do at a Summer party at the beach or pool, or for a child’s birthday party. I use Sprite or 7-up for this recipe, but you can also use alcoholic beverages if you like. First you obviously need some Swedish Fish… …and some 7-Up. Then just…
