Cooking healthy doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. 2020 has been a year of improvising like a madman (or madwoman), and this recipe is no exception. I used “salmon” fillets I got from the frozen section of the grocery store sometime… probably a couple of months ago, and I was one short. The broccoli

Sometimes, you need a chocolate hit first thing in the morning, but we all know the guilt that often follows decadent breakfasts. Worry not, I’ve got your back! These brownie waffles are delicious, fudgy, (admittedly kinda dense), and guilt-free! They’re also easy to make and, chances are, you already have most if not all of

During our time in stay-at-home quarantine, we’ve eaten a lot of potatoes. Like, if you took all the potatoes we’ve eaten since March and placed them in a pile, you could probably climb it and see into a second-story window. It’s obscene… but it’s also cheap, which is what brings us here today. Potatoes can

This is one of my favorite simple recipes. My mom used to make this granola for me when I was in high school (and occasionally when I was in college). It’s delicious, quick, and incredibly easy to make. You can also do a lot to personalize it by adding in seeds, nuts, fruits, or anything

Banana bread is one of my favorite treats. It’s just cakey enough to make my body think I’m giving it a real dessert, but it’s ever so slightly healthier for you. It’s high in fiber and a classic baked good in any American kitchen. In the past, we’ve had banana pumpkin bread, which had a

Somehow, I’ve managed to spend six years of my life with an Idahoan and almost two years living in the potato state without adding a mashed potato recipe to my blog. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t because I have some vendetta against mashed potatoes — they’re probably my favorite way to eat potatoes —

During the Great Depression, food was scarce and people had to make due with what they could get. Canned goods were extremely popular because they had long shelf lives and were inexpensive. For some people who grew up during the Depression, canned goods remained a staple in the pantry. As a kid, I remember my
