Ombre Crepe Cake with Vanilla Pastry Cream and Raspberries


Making a crepe cake has been at the top of my baking bucket list for a long time. When Lindsay at Love and Olive Oil did a kitchen challenge for crepe cakes, it was just the push I needed to make it. I finally got the perfect opportunity to make it when I had a couple friends over. That meant enough people to help me finish off the cake.

Roasted Vegetable Soup with Herbed-Parmesan Croutons


As much as I hate to admit, winter is here. This will be my third winter in Michigan and I've decided that I have a love-hate relationship with this season in the Midwest.

Roasted Tandoori Chicken and Vegetables with a Tangy Cilantro Dip


A roasted whole chicken is one impressive dish. It gives off a classy, kitchen pro vibe and if you get it right, it is definitely a showstopper. The best part is that it actually isn't that hard to make!

Quinoa Crusted Chicken Parmesan with Cheesy Zucchini Rice


Here is the story of my life... I try to lose some weight, I start working out, I eat healthy for a couple days. And then bam! I make something crazy fat like this delicious chicken parmesan with cheesy zucchini rice. All that work down the drain.

Does this happen to you too? I can't help it... I'm just too much of a foodie!

My excuse this week was that I breaded the chicken parmesan with quinoa. It's no secret that quinoa is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. So, I have to say, it was a pretty good excuse.

Black Bean and Quinoa Veggie Burgers


I'm not a meat person. I don't like to cook it, I don't like to smell it, and I definitely don't like to eat it. 

That's why I'm always looking for vegetarian dishes that are just as filling, healthy, and of course, delicious. And these black bean and quinoa veggie burgers definitely hit the spot.
