Who didn’t love dirt dessert as a kid? These dairy free dirt cups are so easy, and they’re guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. To make them dairy free, I used a basic dairy free pudding recipe, with just a few simple ingredients – dairy free milk, cornstarch, sugar and chocolate chips. Once the pudding was nice and thick, I layered it with crushed sandwich cookies and gummy worms. For all the chocolate lovers out there, I have ..read more

Why you’ll love this dairy free birthday cake I can’t even begin to tell you how perfect this birthday cake is. It’s the most requested birthday cake in our house, and I’m sure that once you give it a try, it will be yours, too.

When we’re having something a little more exotic, I love adding za’atar seasoning to cucumbers for a little extra pop. The flavor pairs nicely with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, so I often pair this specific salad with my Greek chicken me ..read more

Why you’ll love these hot honey lemon pepper wings I’ve always loved a lemon pepper chicken wing, but these might be the best I’ve ever had.
