St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and I still have a couple of Irish recipes to share with y’all! In the spotlight today is a traditional Irish soda bread, just like it’s meant to be with its signature dense and chewy texture, crunchy crust and subtle tang from the buttermilk. My favorite way to eat it is when it’s buttered while still warm, preferably with Irish butter. I’ve also been known for drizzling a little honey on it bread, especially if I’m having it for breakfast!...

For someone that grew up in a Russian family, I don’t have many Russian recipes here on the blog. One of the main reasons is that most Russian recipes aren’t low carb, plus many are more complicated than I like to begin with. However, I do enjoy coming back to my roots and creating healthier versions of some of the dishes from my heritage. This low carb keto beef stroganoff recipe with sour cream and cream cheese is a good example of a Russian dish that does not have to be time consuming or high in carbs....

You don’t usually see me excited about a salad. Don’t get me wrong, I eat salad all the time, but as a side dish. And it’s not like I’ll go to a restaurant and be like: “I’ll have the salad because I’ve been craving it all week!”. But then the Lyonnaise Salad came into my life and all my pre conceptions were shattered! I guess it helps that there is a lot of bacon involved....

Mushroom risotto tastes decadently creamy with nutty notes from Parmesan, a floral hint of saffron, and the salty bacon and earthy mushrooms round out the umami factor. In other words, it tastes amazing. Homemade Risotto is Easier Than You Think I spent years avoiding cooking risotto because it has a reputation for being difficult. Risotto has even been called the death dish on the popular cooking competition Masterchef, because it is (allegedly) so hard to get right....

Today I’m keeping it short and sweet. Just like this Pink Kiss Cocktail! It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, and also a very easy and simple recipe. I feel like I’ve been writing these two words a lot lately.

I first baked this coffee cake a few weeks ago, when two good friends and their young children visited us in Milwaukee. I served big slices for breakfast, with a quiet aside to Mom that it happened to be a healthy coffee cake made with whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt (no need to mention this to the kiddos, of course). After devouring their slices, both kids went in for another, and the youngest did what I suspect many of us have wanted to do when facing a slice of coffee cake: he ate all of the streusel right off the top in two great, big forkfuls....

Whenever I don’t bring my lunch to work, 8 times out of 10 I would pick up a box of roasted vegetables with a large turkey meatball from the local store’s lunch bar. Let me tell you, those roasted vegetables are really good, albeit quite expensive and have a fairly limited variety. There you can find the usual roasted carrots, green beans, red onions, and potatoes. Occasionally they have sweet potatoes, zucchini and asparagus, but that’s about it....
