News — Holiday

Thank you Libby’s Vegetables for sponsoring this post. The holidays may look very different than past years but they just got easier using Libby’s Vegetables for fun, easy, fast dinners! I still have vivid images in my mind of my mom slaving in the kitchen for hours. Libby’s Vegetables have made cooking for the holidays a whole lot easier without skimping on satisfactory flavors and texture! I set my kitchen timer when making these dishes and had everything finished in less than an hour (about 50 minutes). Let’s make together this One Hour Holiday Dinner (delicious honey-glazed ham and sides!)...

After polling my Facebook friends, I learned quite quickly – most of us are changing up our 2020 Thanksgiving plans.  And many of my friends are cooking Thanksgiving for the first time ever.  You’ve got this.  Really.   There are many ways to cook a turkey, and I’ve tried them all, with varying results.  We’ve roasted, grilled, fried and smoked our Thanksgiving birds.  But, when it comes down to it, I’ll do it this same way every time.  Maple Spiced Grilled Turkey Breasts forevah.

These Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pies with Frosted Cranberries are perfect for a small Thanksgiving celebration!  Rather than making a...

It’s definitely October, but here in Los Angeles it feels like summer is never going to end. We’ve suffered another heatwave this week and I am craving a change in the weather. I remember feeling antsy about the lagging change in seasons when I lived in Chicago, too – for the opposite reason of course. A snow shower in late April would completely crush my spirit. It’s pretty ironic how excited I am for cooler weather when that’s all I wanted to get away from most of my adult life. All of this is to say, this Vegan Apple Cider...

Hi there! Seeing this post after Easter? No problem! These cookies are super fun and easy to bake up ANY time of year. Simply leave off the Easter decor on top...and switch out sprinkles to seasonal colors like red, white, and blue for July 4th...or red and green for Christmas. Once you make these colorful cookies once, you're going to want to make them again and again! Easter is tomorrow, and our celebration this year is going to be a bit different -- and much smaller -- than we're accustomed to. That calls for something cheery to eat! My Confetti Easter...
