When a P.F. Chang’s opened in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas, it was A Big Deal. The two-hour wait lasted for months, and when my family finally scored a table, our server insisted that we order the lettuce wraps appetizer. She was SO RIGHT. Today’s lettuce wraps recipe is a copycat version of the illustrious P.F. Chang’s original with a healthy twist. Excess amounts of sugar are why lettuce wraps are high in carbs at restaurants....

Peanut butter makes me happy, but these peanut butter balls make me even happier. Just because they’re old-fashioned doesn’t mean they’re outdated! These classic treats are, always and forever, a favorite. They’re the key to my heart! One bite of these treats, and all my problems disappear. A sweet, salty, and creamy peanut butter dough is shaped into bite-sized balls and coated in melted chocolate. The chocolate hardens and forms a crunchy outer shell, giving the soft filling a wonderful textural contrast....

Now, one thing that is missing on my photos, is the optional sauce that I usually make from fresh passion fruit. However, I visited a few grocery stores and nobody had passion fruit.

Portobello mushrooms that are… soaked in a quick but high-impact balsamic-soy marinade (a riff on my tried-and-true Grilled Portobello Mushrooms) double stacked and stuffed with havarti cheese slathered in pesto (and more cheese) piled inside a fluffy brioche bun, and topped with grilled onions and tomatoes …tend to elicit one of two reactions. Reaction One: GIMME. Or Reaction Two: Why are we calling a portobello mushroom a burger again? Whichever camp you fall in—I grew up in the (meat) burger-loving Midwest, so even though I fall solidly in the Reaction One group, I can hear Reaction Two’s concerns—try this Portobello Mushroom Burger recipe anyway....

These potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to a special meal! They go great with Coq au Riesling, Roasted Chicken or my famous Rosemary and Garlic Roast Beef. Potatoes + Cream + Cheese. What’s not to love? This dish, in all its cheesy creamy glory, makes the perfect side dish for when you want to impress guests or a special someone! Made popular by Julia Child, this French classic shouldn’t be confused with Pommes Dauphine, which are crispy potato puffs and the subject for a future blog post....

I love pumpkin soup in all forms but this pumpkin and cauliflower soup is a serious contender for my favourite. It’s thick and creamy and since the vegetables are roasted it’s full of bold and caramelised flavours. There’s nothing like a hot bowl of soup to warm you up during winter, and this vegetarian soup will be a hit with the whole family. And although it takes a little longer than other soups because you are roasting first, it is so worth the wait....

While I’ve had New Year’s Eves that fall on both sides of the glittery skirt/sweatpants spectrum, I’ve always enjoyed celebrating it. The eternal optimist and calendar junkie in me relishes the idea of a scheduled fresh start. Plus, I’m a lover of any excuse to celebrate with some bubbly (especially Strawberry Champagne), a cheese ball, and sharing a night with a few people I care about. This year, I’ll be pouring these raspberry champagne floats when the clock strikes midnight (and maybe Hot Buttered Bourbon for a nightcap)....

(Many thanks to DREAM for sponsoring today’s post!) While I am still recovering from all the delicious food I ate at the Everything Food Conference, I am never one to say no to comfort food. Especially when it involves truffle! Okay, maybe not REAL (fresh) truffles, as my bank account is still a little sore from all the recent traveling. But truffle oil surely does the trick! And, if your bank account is a little chubbier than mine, you could definitely use some shaved truffle in this dish for an even more luxurious version....

If you are making a steak, you must try my Red Wine Reduction Sauce! This sauce is flavorful, rich, and the perfect pairing to a pan-seared or grilled steak. It uses the drippings from the steak as the base and fresh ingredients that complement each other so well to bring it all together. And, it takes under 10 minutes to make! Best Red Wine Sauce for Steak If you know anything about me, you know I love cooking steak for my family....

These easy roasted cauliflower parmesan steaks, or as I like to call them, cauliflower parm, make everyone want to eat more veggies! This simple cauliflower parmesan recipe comes together with just 8 basic ingredients and is a low carb, vegetarian twist on chicken parm. When I received my friend, Erin’s, The Well Plated Cookbook, I immediately flipped through the pages looking for some low carb options – and this one instantly caught my eye!...

This post is brought to you by Morton Salt. The truffles are dark-chocolate dipped, then topped with a crunch of coarse sea salt, one of the pro tips shared at the Morton Next Door Chef event I attended last fall. Read on for the tasty details about the recipe and the event too. Getting a homemade salted caramel sauce to a consistency that’s thick enough to enrobe in melted chocolate to create a caramel-filled truffle, yet soft enough to still melt and ooze when you bite into it, is a tricky endeavor that I’d prefer to leave to a French pastry chef....

Whether it’s sauteeing or stir frying vegetables, making them on the stovetop is often the fastest way to cook them. This tutorial will show you how to saute asparagus in just 10 minutes. The key to this simple sauteed asparagus recipe with garlic and lemon? Start with olive oil to saute, then add a lemon garlic butter at the end. (I use a similar method to make sauteed zucchini, too....

I’m going to start this post by being completely honest with you. While the chicken in this recipe is delicious, the real star here is the batata harra (or the Lebanese potatoes, if you’d prefer). Maybe it’s because I’m going through a major carb phase, but I was utterly obsessed with them! As in, I gave my husband two or three and devoured the rest of the potatoes by myself....

I believe passionately that enjoying a healthy, balanced diet should never EVER leave you feeling deprived. What inspires my recipes here (and every recipe in my upcoming cookbook) is creating nutritious meals that taste so fabulous, you forget that what you are eating is “healthy.” This Skillet Lasagna with Basil, Italian Sausage, and Butternut Squash is the perfect example. Every forkful delivers the kind of wrap-you-up, grandma’s-cooking comfort that we seek from lasagna, but the ingredient lineup is shockingly good for you (just like in this Sweet Potato Pasta)....

This post is sponsored by Dole. New year, new life! Just kidding. Same old new mom life, trying to balance motherhood with the blog and marriage while still taking care of myself. Sounds exhausting, doesn’t it? It is. My word for 2018 is discipline. It took me some brainstorming to find a word that would actually mean something I really want to achieve! We usually choose words like “happiness” or “abundance”, and while it’s obvious that we all want these things, they are not as tangible and we end up forgetting about it by February....

A chai tea latte is the perfect combination of sweet and spice in one lip-smacking beverage. It’s so comforting, and it’s the perfect drink if you need a little pick-me-up. With tea lattes, Starbucks is arguably king. Frothy milk and black tea are infused with a blend of cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon, giving you such cozy and well-balanced flavors. It smells amazing, to boot! The only problem is, these drinks aren’t the cheapest....

I don’t believe I’ve spoken about my love of K-Mart on the blog as yet? I’m absolutely obsessed. Not even moderately joking. I’ll find any excuse to go have a browse through K-Mart. I’m not sure if K-Mart in Australia is the same as America, but K-Mart in Australia is renowned for super affordable and cute kitchenwares. Which is probably why I love it so much. A few months back while I was browsing through K-Mart I found a $2 6-piece popsicle mould and just knew I had to have it....
