My vegan bestie and I decided to jump in and try them all. The internet can be a magical place, right? Who knew a shipment of beans would be so exciting... look I’m almost 40, I’ll take my kicks where I can get them.

Food has a way of bringing you home sometimes. I grew up eating this version of Fideo with meat, making it a main dish rather than the traditional side dish.

I love Chorizo! I grew up eating it. But healthy it is not... and that is where Trader Joe's Soyrizo comes in.

I'm not a believer in denying myself food I love, but even I can admit that sometimes I over indulge, eat too many carbs, have too many fried things.

I love the way certain foods can take you back in time. Most of my memories of my grandmother (who is still alive and kicking at 93 years young) involve cooking.

These tall, fluffy buttermilk biscuits are the things dreams are made of. My favorite part of making biscuits is breaking them in half after they come out of the oven, that explosion of warm steam, yum!

I discovered a version of this dish years ago (thanks to my big sister) from Rachel Ray. The original had a few hard to find ingredients and unnecessary steps, so I’ve definitely messed with it a bit through the years to make it my own.

I love Macadamia nuts, but geez y'all, they're expensive. So when I came across these candies on the aisle at Costco, I knew these were the answer. Chopped up and put into a simple cookie recipe, these are the perfect blend of salty, sweet and crunchy.

You guys, these are delish! Great crust, cake-like centers, not too sweet and the perfect amount of mint. It’s about to get chilly here in DFW, and that makes me want to bake!
