This is a perfect crust for sweet and savory pies. I’ve used this recipe for my Apple Pie and Chicken pot pie. I was very disappointed with the pie dough they have at the store - so thin and still soggy after I baked. The worst! This makes “two disks” - enough crust for your…

This is a recipe that has taken me quite a few times to master but I finally figured out the avocado to non-fat greek yogurt ratio. What's great about this is that it not only lightens up your normal guacamole dip, but it also doubles it in size. #yaaaas Guacamole is fun, you can add all…
Hello my friends, it has been too long but the accidental hiatus is (hopefully) over.

I made this cake for my friend Emily's birthday last weekend and felt like getting creative since she is quite the hostess. In honor of her royal themed birthday, I knew I had to make a cake fit for a queen and wanted to do something different. Naked cakes are very in right now and also…
Shrimp Tacos don't need a long introduction. I haven't done too much with shrimp in the past so when my grocery store had a killer special on fresh shrimp, I decided to get outside my comfort zone. Frozen shrimp works as well, just make sure you de-thaw before you cook. This recipe is an easy base for the…
"Extra, extra, pico, please", is my only request, every time I eat Mexican, since as long as I can remember. Sometimes, I even look forward to the pico more than the actual meal. I love everything about pico de gallo, the freshness of the chopped veggies, the bursts of flavor.. pico is just awesome. I am…
