People associate several foods with Christmas, from specific mains to the sides and the desserts. For me, I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for German Christmas cookies like these hazelnut cookies. I’ve already recently posted my vegan, gluten-free cookie recipes for Zimtsterne (Cinnamon Stars) and Snickerdoodles (perfect for enjoying year-round). Still, you can never go overboard with different vegan cookies for the holidays! Personally, Christmas is all about getting in the kitchen and baking wonderful, aromatic goodies for friends and family (if you don’t eat them all first, that is)....

PROTEIN BAGELS. Like, who am I? I could eat a bagel every day of my life if it wasn’t for those pesky little things called carbs. So we went ahead and balanced the scales a little bit by upping the protein in these quick and easy bagels and if you were to serve them with say, scrambled egg whites and cream cheese, I bet you could get around 30 grams of protein in your breakfast without even breaking a sweat!...

I’m thinkin’ ice cooooold sips of southern style sweet peach iced tea with the prettiest peachy color. Sweet tea is a BIG thing here in the south. Like if you happen to go to a restaurant that doesn’t serve ‘sweet tea’ people would throw a huge fit. I remember a time when Chick-fil-A ran out of sweet iced tea and my coworker literally drove a few miles to a different location to pick some up....

My husband is my biggest competition when it comes to this, so today when I tried to make my own; I made it when it was out of the house.

Wings are essential to any party spread! Try my Air Fryer Chicken Wings for light, crispy wings, and my Honey BBQ Boneless Chicken Wings are perfect for the whole family!

I have to start by saying that this city has never sincerely felt like home the way it has these last few days. I am so so proud to call myself a Houstonian. ?? It all started last Friday when a category 4, 130 mph roaring powerhouse of a hurricane, slammed into the Texas coast. At first, it toyed with us. A little light rain, a few cloudy days. What happened next has become national headlines....
