CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Chicken Noodle Soup has long been the frontrunner in comfort foods. Not only is it warm and delicious, but the ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that can actually help ease the symptoms of a cold. Major win on all fronts, if you ask me! This recipe

TOMATILLO LIME RANCH

I feel like everybody and their mom has a recipe for this stuff. I’ve tried a whole bunch, and this one is my personal favorite. Give it a try if you still haven’t found one that makes your taste buds sing! I’m not going to pretend 

4-INGREDIENT CHEWY CARAMELS

4-INGREDIENT CHEWY CARAMELS

I used to shudder at the thought of making my own caramel. I had experienced far too many failed attempts at it thanks to unclear recipes and it scared me to death! Luckily, my mother-in-law is basically a caramel-making-professional, so I enlisted her help in

Every single birthday, my husband requests this cake. He can’t be convinced to choose anything else, and I really can’t blame him. It’s also my go-to whenever we have company over, because it’s so quick and easy. This cake is tender and fluffy but also

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, KALE, AND LEMON

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, KALE, AND LEMON

I crave this dish at least once a week. It’s originally the product of weeknight desperation when we were low on ingredients. I started experimenting and came up with this. The beautiful thing about Italian sausage is that it’s so flavorful on its own that 

AMAZING COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

AMAZING COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

This is one of those recipes our Dad gets full credit for discovering and perfecting. One thing we have learned throughout the years, is that if he tells you a recipe is amazing- IT IS. I am ashamed to admit that it took me a 

COPYCAT CAFE RIO SWEET PORK

COPYCAT CAFE RIO SWEET PORK

It has been over 15 years now since our dad first made Cafe Rio pork for us. Having grown up overseas and outside of Utah, this was a specialty meal in our house. We couldn’t just drive over to the closest Cafe Rio; if we wanted
