Asian Slaw

Per usual, we love sauce and double the dressing for our slaw. Nut allergies? Leave them out.

Recipe

Creamy Cesar Salad Dressing

Add everything to a bowl and whisk it all together, or throw it all into a mason jar and shake. If it is too thick, add a little water.

Recipe

Cranberry Basil Sangria

This is a great option for the winter months. Garnishing with fresh cranberries gives it that holiday feel. You can omit the wine if you want to make this a mocktail or substitute cranberries for frozen blueberries or raspberries.

Recipe

Easy Vodka Sauce

So easy and so good. Any pasta works, but we prefer either gnocchi, rigatoni or penne.

Recipe

Blood Orange Margarita

If you are lucky enough to find it, there is blood orange juice! Buy it, use it and enjoy the ease of making this without squeezing oranges. You can also substitute regular oranges or orange juice.

Recipe

Spicy Thai Noodles

It’s like eating great takeout but much better. This meal comes together so quickly that it’s a perfect weeknight meal. Make extra – it’s good the next day.

Recipe

Quick and Easy Paella

The best part of this dish is, hands down, the crispy rice at the bottom – make sure you scrape that off into your leftovers. You can also forget your candles. Your house will smell much better with this.
