If you follow my blog, you know I’m not a vegan. But it’s a popular diet in Finland and I have a decent handful of friends here that are vegan. I’ve been trying to find and create vegan recipes that *ahem* actually taste good to someone who isn’t vegan. These vegan breakfast oat bars taste…

Garlic butter Roasted Chicken Thighs are a staple in our home. So easy to make and don’t take much time. It’s an easy throw together protein for a busy weeknight meal. Endless options for things to pair it with too. Some of my favorite sides are this jalapeno creamed corn, garlic red mashed potatoes, or these…

Grain bowls have become a popular thing in my house for dinner recently. They’re easy to customize and it is seriously fun for me to create new flavor combinations. Salmon is relatively inexpensive to buy here compared to where I’m from in land-locked Utah so I decided to try a grain bowl with it! It’s…

I don’t think I’ve met a tres leches cake I didn’t like, but this coconut tres leches cake is really high up there! Apparently I’m really into trying to make every flavor of tres leches cake now or something. Anyone have any other idea for a flavor of tres leches cake I should create next?…

This 1-pot Rice and Orzo is like eating a bowl of Rice A Roni except even more delicious, totally from scratch, and healthier. Leave out the chicken to make this into a side. Change the veggie to your kids’ favorite! Bake it at the end for melty cheese on top or don’t bake it for…

Ground Beef BBQ Sandwiches are such a great weeknight meal. From start to finish you can make this in less than 20 minutes. That’s about as fast as making a box of mac & cheese! These look like a sloppy joe but taste more like a BBQ sandwich. Makes a lot so you can either…

Chocolate tres leches cake came to be because of a predicament. My husband wanted me to make my tres leches cake (if you haven’t tried my original tres leches cake then you should definitely do that!) but I wanted a chocolate-y dessert. So I decided I’d just try to make my original recipe chocolate. And…

We love Indian food at our house and chicken coconut korma so I’m always trying to make new recipes based on our favorite restaurant ones. Surprisingly, Indian food is really not all that hard to make from your own kitchen. My other favorite Indian dishes are Indian Butter Chicken, Easy Chicken Tikka Masala, and of…
