Easy Weeknight Black Bean Soup (Vegan Optional)
Easy Weeknight Black Bean Soup – a hearty, flavorful + surprisingly vegan black bean soup. Sweet, smoky and completely satisfying. Hi friends! Popping in quickly to direct you to the recipe for one of my favorite soups of the season: an easy, vegan black soup that is so loaded with flavor yet deliriously simple to prepare. This Easy Weeknight Black Bean Soup was inspired by one of the first black bean soups I ever made, back when I was home from college for the holidays and had not a care in the world but poring over cookbooks (Nigella was having … Read More
The Reverse Affogato (aka the best coffee shop espresso at home)
Meet the Reverse Affogato — dark, rich espresso topped with luscious vanilla bean foam. The perfect coffee shop espresso at home. This holiday season has thrown us so many curveballs.

It’s just too easy to make good soup from scratch.” And, much … Read More

Sweet-tart homemade cranberry sherbet topped with effervescent DASANI® Sparkling Lime for a seasonal take on a classic soda fountain sherbet freeze. This post has been sponsored by The Coca Cola Company. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I grew up down the street from an old-fashioned soda fountain. I spent countless afternoons there in middle school and high school, tucked away in the back booth with the same squad of girlfriends, giggling about boys and admiring each other’s iridescent manicures. For nearly every Friday of my freshman and sophomore year, I ordered the same thing: Cherry Amaretto, in a … Read More
