Who’s never had a tamale before? I hadn’t…until last year when I made these pinto bean tamales! Maybe you don’t even know what a tamale is; that’s about to end right now! A tamale is a traditional Mexican dish of a homemade masa (corn) dough wrapped and steamed/baked in a corn husk with a filling of either meat, cheeses, vegetables, chilies, beans, even fruits or nothing at all! It’s also part of Central American, South American, and Caribbean cuisine (not just Mexican). They can be served as a breakfast or dinner meal and they’re also a common street and festival food!Read More

A super quick and easy Classic Vegetable Fried Rice recipe so you don’t need to order takeout! It’s gluten-free, vegan, top 8 allergy-free, healthy, and full of veggies! A perfect side dish for using leftover rice and transforming it into a delicious lunch or dinner!

I had this strong internal debate on whether to share a fried rice recipe or that 10-minute lo mein recipe I gave you the other week. Obviously I went with the noodles, but rice wouldn’t be far behind! They’re equally delicious and a takeout side dish essential, are they not? Beyond the debate of noodles over rice, I had 3 different versions of fried rice to show you. I’m all about the family favorite pineapple fried rice, but I wanted to give you a nice classic base recipe for takeout-style fried rice. The other two recipes are not so classic…but they’ll show up here soon!Read More

Shut the front door! I am in love! The pancake game just got taken to a whole new level in every way possible. I didn’t know it was possible to love pancakes more, but I guess it is!

Don’t worry, gluten-free friends, I just make handheld, munchable pancakes possible!Read More
