Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Bars

June 28, 2023 by Gina + 13 Comments

Fudgy Tahini Brownies

June 26, 2023 by Gina + 1 Comment

Few things come out of the oven better than a warm pan of brownies. Now which kind of brownie is open for debate. I personally love a fudgy brownie with a slightly crinkly top.

Chicken Flautas

June 6, 2023 by Gina + 1 Comment

I absolutely love Mexican food. Call these flautas or taquitos, whatever you like, but definitely add these chicken flautas to your to-make list. Salsa verde chicken with melty cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla is a winner. We all need easy recipes for busy weeks. Or just days when we don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. Now that it's summer, I think we are looking for
