You don’t get any more American than cherry pie for the 4th of July. I modified the recipe so that everyone can have their own ramekin of cherry cobbler. Even though I cut down on the sugar, the result was a sweet and tart cobbler leaving my kids asking for seconds. If you enjoy my […]

This simple dish tastes just like Chinese Takeout, without as much fat or oil. It’s a cinch to prepare, so it’s great for those nights when you run home only to need to run to get to meetings/events after dinner.
Homemade Caesar Salad
I got a head of farm-fresh Romaine lettuce, so I decided it was time for some homemade Caesar salad dressing. In New Orleans, I had Caesar dressing that was freshly made at my table using raw eggs.

Easy Instant Pot Chicken, Broccoli, and Bok Choy

Bananas Foster
I love this New Orleans treat, but I decided to try to make it a little healthier. The dessert was so quick to pull together. It was super tasty with my simple replacements. While I made the sauce healthier, I served it over vanilla ice cream.
