My favorite way to eat fish is baked in a foil pouch. It keeps the fish tender and moist, plus it makes a pretty awesome sauce to go over a starch. I like couscous for this dish since it soaks up the flavor of the sauce. There’s a few components to the dish and several steps,…

Recipe: Swirl Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Walnut Crust
If you like cheesecake that isn’t too sweet or drowning in topping, this recipe is the one that you’re looking for. Compared to others, the cheesecake layer is thin and fluffy.

Recipe: Cake Mix Black Forest Cookies
Two older ladies rent a house next door and they know I love to bake. Every once in a while, they would load up on cake mix at the grocery store and bring me a few boxes. While I’m appreciative of the gift, I’m never quite sure what to do with the cake mix. The obvious…
Recipe: Pixie’s Easy Hummus
I am a hummus fanatic. I like to eat it as a snack with veggies or crackers. If I’m out of salad dressing, I like to put a few dollops of hummus into my salad. I also like to use it as a sandwich spread since I do not like mayonnaise. Hummus is also part…
Recipe: Cold Quinoa Veggie Salad
Quinoa is one of my new favorite things to make. It’s like couscous, but nuttier. It soaks up the flavor of what ever you’re cooking it with. It’s very filling. It’s delicious hot or cold. And it’s quick and easy to make! I’ve made this salad many times before. When I’ve brought it to potlucks, there…

Recipe: Tea for Sickies
Being sick totally sucks. Being sick while working sucks more. Being sick while working on a holiday weekend and there’s no one to cover for you is the worst. I’ve been trying to fight off a cold since for a week. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful. Since I’m sick and have had very little appetite…
Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake with Almonds
I had baked a bunch of things last week and took pictures of them so I could post recipes on my blog. But when I sat down to actually post one of them, none of them seemed interesting to me anymore. I was complaining to a friend about it and she asked what I wanted…
Recipe: Balsamic Basil Honey Dressing.
I have a confession to make…. As much as I love cooking and baking, I am lazy. Especially after working and commuting, I don’t want to stand around in my kitchen and cook something. So my ultimate lazy meal after work ends up being salads. Just wash the veggies, chop and slice them up, toss…
Recipe: Chicky Peas and Macaroni Salad
I like the idea of macaroni and potato salad, and sometimes I’ll even eat it. But I do not like mayonnaise – at all. There’s something about the smell and the taste of it that just doesn’t appeal to me. I was looking on The Simple Veganista at a recipe for a vegan lentil loaf that my…
