This easy, flavorful Asian Brussels Sprouts Slaw is topped with crispy baked eggroll strips from Twin Dragons. It’s a breeze to assemble and will serve as a perfect side dish for your next dinner or potluck. The very first post I ever published on my blog was for roasted Brussels sprouts. Oh my.

BLENDABELLA COCONUT THAI HUMMUS
This coconut Thai hummus has it all: it’s creamy, zesty, and loaded with nutrients. Topped with BLENDABELLA™ Coconut Thai blend, it’s your perfect appetizer. Hummus is my favorite. It’s also one of the ONLY foods my son will eat. At least it’s full of protein and fat, right? I doubt Bazooka will eat this spicy coconut…
Lentil & Quinoa Salad With Grapes, Cucumber, and Hazelnuts
Some foods and flavors are obvious matches: peanut butter and jelly (though I will admit I didn’t enjoy that combination until recently), French fries and ketchup, cookies and cream, etc. Other pairings are strange on the surface, however, but work just as magically as “the classics.” I’m talking about avocado and chocolate (like in this…
Raw Cherry Chia Seed Jam
Recently I’ve been eating fresh Bing cherries like they’re going out of style. No, really, I’ve eaten them in overnight oats, yogurt bowls, fruit salads, and by the handful. It’s a good thing, since I accidentally purchased a $16.98 bag of them. Spending $17 on fruit? Clearly I am a failure at math—because when I…
Trying New Things: Roasted Jicama Fries
One of my 30 Before 30 goals is to try at least 3 new foods. Though I’m usually game for culinary adventure, Mark and I tend to stick to old favorites when we cook or dine out. Though its seafood, barbecue, and desserts are dear to my heart, Mobile, Alabama is not an obscure foods…
Cinco de Mayo: Black Bean, Mango, and Avocado Salad
I know Cinco de Mayo isn’t a huge holiday in Mexico like most Americans tend to think, but where I’m from, we love any excuse to party. After many tequila-filled college celebrations (and today being a Sunday), we’re having a low-key “celebration” at home with tacos, margaritas, and a delicious, refreshing black bean salad. Using…
Green Eats: “Edamummus”
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day next Sunday, this week I’ll be sharing some green recipes. Today’s involved 2 of my favorite foods: edamame and hummus! Though traditional chickpea and tahini hummus will always be my favorite, I will eat my weight in almost any kind of legume dip: flavored hummus (roasted red pepper is…
CrockPot Challenge #2: Simple Pulled Pork
I really need a smaller slow cooker. We received our giant 6-quart Crockpot as a wedding gift—and I’m pretty sure it’s the one we chose for the registry. It’s come in handy for cooking large amounts of beans and such, but for two small people, it’s a bit insane. The sheer size of our Crockpot…
Cheesy baked orzo…and a kiss of fall
Pinch me, I must be dreaming, but it actually felt a little like autumn this morning! Loving the cool breeze, I took an extra long walk into work—and made sure to have lunch outside in the shade. It’s taking all the self-control I have not to break out the scarves and boots! (It will be…
Gimme the green
Brussels sprouts. Those miniature “cabbages” that have been boiled to death by generations before us. You couldn’t have paid me to eat these as a child. I literally never ate them until age 27 (I’m now 28), and I can’t recall ever seeing them on the kitchen table. Till now. Green goodness–where have you been…
