So, there's an old saying... When it snows in April, make yourself a big old pot of Chicken Veggie Noodle Soup. Or something like that. It did, indeed, snow in my part of the world this past weekend. It was kind of pretty, in the way freshly fallen snow always is. But mostly it was cold...and wet...and the type of precipitation I firmly believe we should be well beyond at this point in the year. Mother Nature's something of a rule breaker, isn't she? Anyway, seasonally ...
Triple Coconut Muffins
Happy almost Easter! There's something about springtime and coconut recipes that go together, ya know? If you're a coconut lover, these Triple Coconut Muffins are going to be your new favorite thing.

I've tried making my own hummus several times and none of the ...

Let me start by saying I don't even like chocolate cake that much. I know - kind of weird, right? Because how could ...
Radish & Pine Nut Salad
Radish & Pine Nut Salad is a fresh salad recipe that pairs crisp radishes & toasted pine nuts with a bright, citrus-y vinaigrette. Radishes, radishes...what to do with a bunch of radishes? That's what I was asking myself as I browsed the organic produce section at our new fancy, shmancy grocery store. The display of radishes just stood out to me, something about that pop of bright reddish pink (or is it pinkish red?) against all that green. I struggled for a minute there in ...
