One of the things I love most about the D.C. restaurant scene is the variety of mocktails available at many of the city's best restaurants. Whether you're pregnant, sober, participating in Whole30, or trying to avoid a hangover on a weeknight, skipping the alcohol doesn't mean you have to skimp on a delicious drink. I really enjoy fresh and fruity cocktails, so I crafted up two recipes that use ...

Southern Living’s White Chocolate-Dipped Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
In my experience, sometimes baking is best left to the pro's, and who better to turn to than Southern Living?

Southern Living’s Peppermint Bonbon Cookies
Bonbons and the holidays go hand-in-hand, and this year, I'm sending some extra love to Southern Living for their oh-so-decadent Peppermint Bonbon Cookies.

I decided to whip up a batch when I was working from home and, while no part of the recipe is particularly difficult, I highly recommend taking these on when you ...

Oven-Roasted Green Beans Two Ways
When it comes the the holidays, sides are just as important as the main dish, right? I think so, too. That's why when I was working up a healthier alternative to green bean casserole for my Thanksgiving menu, I crafted up two recipes. And since I couldn't decide which was better - why not do both? I knew I wanted to incorporate almonds, so I grabbed a bag of Trader Joe's pre-cut green beans ...

Fall Squash Frittata
Just like Ellen's Grab + Go Egg Cups, combining eggs with veggies and/or leftovers lurking around in your fridge is a smart way to cut down on food waste.
