Here is my updated version of Butter Chicken. Last week I posted an authentic recipe, and this week I have my interpretation for you. This recipe is lighter and faster. I simplified the spice list and made this recipe dairy free. Just to be clear, this is ‘Butter’ Chicken in preparation only, there isn’t any butter or cream in this version. Both recipes are really delicious, and it would be hard to say which one is better....

This Easy Fall Pumpkin Centerpiece is a super easy DIY you can put together based on what you have in your home! This fall centerpiece came about by accident really.

This Lemon Turmeric Sunshine Dressing is perfect for meal prepping , and makes salads extra tasty! I’ve been making a version of this dressing for a long time.

This Paleo S’mores Pudding Pie is a healthier dessert perfect for any get-together all summer long. It’s also gluten-free with dairy-free options. The summer calls for a new dessert inspired by the classic s’mores combination. Last year, I did these Blondie S’mores Brownies, which have been a big hit. And so this year I decided to move on to a pie, since you can’t go wrong with either one! The almond flour and coconut sugar combine to create a crust that tastes remarkably like a traditional graham cracker crust....

What if you were just minutes away from a breakfast like this on your average Tuesday? Well, thanks to meal prepping , this can actually be the case.

Or for a meatless and vegan meal you can serve it with my Tropical Quinoa Salad ....

When it comes to side dishes, I like to keep my recipes quick and easy with maximum flavor! We mostly lean towards bowl food types of dishes for an ‘all in one’ approach.

We hiked this trail after a full day visiting most of the geyser trails....

Roasting asparagus brings out all of it’s natural goodness. It’s sweetness and flavors intensify with the heat. After eating asparagus steamed or raw for most of my life, roasted definitely bring things to a whole new level. I believe it was the Barefoot Contessa who first did Parmesan Roasted Asparagus, but who can keep track anymore? My version of this dish is so simple, that I hesitate to even call it a recipe....

Bryce Canyon might be one of the smaller National Parks, but it packs a punch and it’s not to be missed! I was surprised to hear that many people skip right over it in favor of some of the larger parks in the area. I can definitely say after hiking most of the trails that you’ll rarely find hikes like these where you see so much scenery with every step of the way!...

These breakfast bowls emerged out of desperation on a road trip more than 10 years ago, and I’ve been making them ever since! After about a week on the road you’re craving nothing more than something fresh, especially if you’ve been eating out a lot. So… my friend and I stopped at a grocery store in a small town somewhere in Montana. Selection was a bit limited but we bought a cantaloupe, and asked the man behind the counter to cut it in half for us and scoop out the seeds....
