Apricot Chickpea Salad
So, I’ll be honest here in saying that I never really buy or use apricots a whole lot, and I’m not entirely sure why either. They taste good, fresh or dried so it’s not that I don’t like them. I just never really think to use them. But, this salad dressing just sounded really good to me for son reason or another. It’s sweet, but tangy, and yet has just a little bit of a kick from the ginger in there. It’s really one of my new favorite things on the planet.
This salad is a really good mix of textures and tastes. You really won’t miss meat here. And you won’t miss the dairy either. Somehow everything else going on really keeps you from focusing on what’s not there so that you instead focus on what is there. And that’s a lot of goodness!…

Halloween is coming! And I couldn’t be more excited. For a long time now, Halloween has been my most favorite holiday, but I’m having to make a few changes to my usual routine lately since we’ve got a sensitive stomach in the house. I bought a plastic brain mold at the end of last year with the intentions of using it for a few things. A brain cheese ball was at the top of the list!
With dairy-free being the name of the game, I set out to find a way to make a cheese ball dairy-free. And you know what? It’s way easier than you might think. There are a lot of options out there for dairy-free alternatives. All the way from milk, to cheese, and even cream cheese…
Read MoreCrispy Baked Chicken Taquitos
I love taquitos. You know the ones. The ones in the freezer section that you bake at home and end up with a plate of several perfectly rolled crisp taquitos loaded with beef, chicken, or beans and cheese. My problem though has always been that they were almost impossible for me to get right at home. That is until now.
Did you know that there is a trick to making them? My problem in the past has always been that the tortillas split and crack down the sides while baking. And let’s face it, there isn’t much worse than a cracked taquito! Well, I’m happy to say that I’ve learned the trick and will share it with you…
