APRICOT CHICKEN
Growing up, this was my very favorite dinner that my mom would make (okay, it still is!). She made it about once a week, and I can’t blame her for that! It’s amazing, and believe it or not, only three ingredients! I know it sounds too …
MEXICAN LASAGNA
I first had this Mexican Lasagna at a singles ward activity in college. I had never had anything like it before, and it was love at first taste. The sauce is made up of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, chicken, bell peppers, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, …
HEAVENLY HOMEMADE ROLLS
I’m not exaggerating when I say my mother-in-law is famous for this roll recipe. My entire extended family BEGS for them any time we have dinner at her house. Any time she makes them for company, everyone raves about them, and I get asked for …

FRESH GUACAMOLE
In my family, guacamole is only ever made with fresh ingredients. You won’t find a packet of ranch or a scoop of mayo in this recipe, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re going to have to look elsewhere! We add lots of lime juice, …
MOIST LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKE
Once upon a time, my friend and I had a little cupcake business. After months of trial and error, we perfected the art of an amazing, moist, from-scratch cupcake. However, because of my cupcake success, I never really made actual cakes for special occasions! It …
KOREAN TACOS WITH MANGO SLAW
Once upon another time, I lived in New York City for a summer with my family while I interned at a company downtown. It was basically the most boring job in the world, so the best days were those in which I got to get …
PIZZA WITH ROASTED SQUASH, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND APPLES
I discovered this recipe from The New York Times a few months back, and was so thrilled about it. I liked the idea of a “fancy pizza” with something other than tomato sauce, and I couldn’t wait to try it out. For me, it was …
