Baked Parmesan Kale Chips It cracks me up to see my two year old munching on kale chips and going back for seconds and thirds. Normally when she finds a leafy green vegetable on her plate she picks it out and says “yucky”, but with these kale chips, there’s something about the texture and flavor that keeps her coming back for more. What surprises me even more is to see my husband (not a kale fan) enjoying them!...

I’ve been making hummus from scratch for years, and my Amazing Homemade Hummus recipe is a must-try. That said, occasionally, I like to jazz up the flavors with creative add-ins. That’s where nutrient-dense beets come in. They’re roasted, then blended with classic hummus ingredients, like chickpeas, tahini, and garlic. Every bite is so uniquely delicious and gorgeously vibrant that you won’t want to put the pita down. Why this recipe works Adapted from my tried-and-tested hummus recipe....
This weekend has been rush, rush, rush. I was panicking all day yesterday wondering what on earth I was going to present to you. I annoyed other people into helping me think of something, which has never really happened before. Shall I let you in on how this whole blogging shebang works for me? I wake up on Monday mornings, droopy-eyed and full of bitterness about how quickly the weekend flew by, why it’s so damn cold and why I’m wearing two coats (yeah I know, what the hell, right?...

Cacio e Pepe Cheese Crisps Cacio e Pepe is an Italian pasta dish with Pecorino Romano cheese and lots of black pepper. I created these cheese crisps as a simple appetizer with those ingredients minus the pasta, but I used more Pecorino than parmesan. Pecorino is more authentic and younger than most parmesans, so it’s moister, which makes it take a little longer to crisp up. These Cacio e Pepe cheese crisps are super crispy and fairly spicy, with a good amount of pepper....
