You know I love pasta, it’s such a great meal for any day of the week and you can go in so many different directions with it. Today’s pasta is super creamy made with goat cheese which is such a delicious ingredient. I love traditional cream sauces like an alfredo but making a roux can…

Cream Cheese Alfredo
In keeping with the healthy-eating theme from my last post (Chipotle Caesar Salad), here is another lighter version of a classic. I made alfredo pasta, but you won’t find any heavy cream or butter here. You can happily eat a bowl of this alfredo without feeling heavy or weighed down. Scroll down to see the…
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Hello hello and welcome to week 2 (of 2) of fall themed recipes on my blog! This week, my special ingredient is PUMPKIN which I think is the food most associated with the season. You already know how much I love squash but pumpkin sort of hits differently. It’s so creamy and sweet but a…
Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
About a month ago, I made these cheesecake bars (link here) which were absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a tasty and not too unhealthy cheesecake, you should make those. *The recipe I used calls for lemon (juice & zest) but I just omitted those for a more plain cheesecake. I couldn’t get that…
Cheese Platter
I know a cheese platter is more of a dish to serve to guests/for a party, but since the pandemic, it’s just been my parents and I. We decided to make one anyways as a nice snack on the weekend. A cheese platter can be as simple or elaborate as you wish, but you need…

Lemon Cucumber Cupcakes
I know my first 2 cucumber recipes were a little more traditional, this last one was definitely out of the box. I really wanted to see if there were any recipes that used cucumber in desserts. There were surprisingly more recipes than I thought there would be. I ended up choosing this cucumber and lemon…
