So… I have a secret. Are you listening? Today just happens to be Alyssa (the Recipe Critic herself)’s birthday! While she’s off on an awesome cruise with her hubby, I’m going to share with you an awesome birthday treat! First of all, though, I just have to give a little shout out to Alyssa for being awesome. I’m lucky enough to be her neighbor, and here are just a few of the things I love about her:...
Roasted Carrots This is the best roasted carrots recipe! Nothing beats the natural sweetness of oven roasted carrots, which are elevated by using fresh herbs. They come out savory and delicious!

Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes Spaghetti Squash with Pesto and Tomatoes is a great summer side dish or meatless main dish recipe. If you want to add protein, cook some shrimp or chicken breast and add it on top. A few more spaghetti squash recipes I love are Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese, and Turkey Taco Spaghetti Squash Boats. Using spaghetti squash in place of pasta is a great lower carb alternative....
Is there anything better than a batch of homemade cookies? I love that cookies can have all kinds of unique flavors. There are so many ingredients to use in cookie recipes.

What Do Potato Chip Cookies Taste Like? Potato chip cookies are a fun twist on my favorite chocolate chip cookies....
Since then, I’ve been nagging my sister, Deepa, to give me her recipe, and she finally took the time out to measure everything and sent me the recipe. Seriously, what is it about steel cut oats? Is it the nutty flavor, the chewy texture, the creaminess, or all of the above that contributes to that perfect bowl of steel cut oatmeal? Normally, I love preparing my oatmeal with almond milk, but ever since my sister introduced me to steel cut oats made with low-fat milk, I’ve been hooked onto dairy milk....

To use the rest of our pumpkin, I also made homemade pumpkin puree to use in some pumpkin recipes....
I love Coconut Macaroons. They’re so delicious and easy to make. This particular recipe just uses egg whites so it’s lightened up relatively speaking. What are Rose Coconut Macaroons? Rose Coconut Macaroons are essentially Coconut Macaroons flavored with rose extract and a pinch of cardamom. The rose and cardamom are classic flavors in Indian dessert, hence the inspiration behind this recipe. What if I don’t have Rose Extract? If you are unable to find rose extract, feel free to use rose water....

Shredded Brussel Sprout Salad with Lemon and Oil Pictured below with crispy oven fried pork chops that I am sharing tomorrow, look out for them, they are so good!

Ground Turkey Taco Cauliflower Rice I love brown rice, but when I want a low-carb meal, cauliflower rice is my jam!

Spinach is such a versatile green and can be the star of the show in many different recipes! Try our favorite spinach salad, this tasty stuffed spinach chicken, or my creamy chicken and mushroom florentine over a bed of noodles. What is Spinach Pie? Spinach pie is similar to classic Greek spanakopita. The difference is the crust, and you will love both versions! Spanikopita uses flakey fillo dough, and spinach pie is baked in a traditional pie crust....

I’m still talking about that party I hosted 3 weeks ago. I made this dish for my one vegetarian at the party. The non-vegetarians were super happy with the Tandoori Chicken Tacos, so naturally I had to keep my one vegetarian friend happy too. 🙂 This dish was a favorite, and the following week I made it again for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, both of whom loved this dish. My husband who doesn’t like tofu also enjoyed this dish, so I’m hoping you will too....
One of my favorite teenage hangouts – light years ago – was California Pizza Kitchen – affectionately referred to as CPK. Somehow at CPK, our large, loud, bubbly group always ended up seated in the back corner. And somehow, I always ended up with the Thai Chicken Pizza. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. While CPK is known for their BBQ Chicken Pizza, which I do love, its their delectable Thai Chicken Pizza that has my heart....
