I am so excited to be sharing these super yummy Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings with you today. These wings are baked not fried, but you cant even tell the difference. They turn out super crispy without frying them. Great as an appetizer on game day or entertaining, or serve as a main dish with a big salad. Steaming the wings first assures that they stay moist. You can even be done the day before then all you have to do is bake them and toss them in the garlic Parmesan mixture. I recommend you double the batch because these will go super fast. INGREDIENTS 2 lbs chicken wings 4 tablespoons olive oil 4 tablespoons of butter 2-3 heaping tablespoon of garlic 3 heaping tablespoons of chopped parsley ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese INSTRUCTIONS Place a 8-quart saucepan with a steamer basket with 2 inches water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add wings and steam for 10 minutes. Remove wings and place them on a cooling rack placed on a baking sheet. Put th

Since going gluten free my doughnut dreams have been somewhat shattered and my relationship with these baked goods have come to a stand still as I have yet to find a doughnut that tastes like the Krispy Kreme’s I used to devour and love.

I had to satisfy my doughnut cravings somehow and this was the perfect flavour to do it with because let’s be honest these nutty caramel chocolatey rings scream deliciousness. Not only are they naughty and totally scrumptious, they’re raw, vegan and made with good for you ingredients. What more could you want? With a soft nougat base, chocolate coating and caramel drizzle, these rawified snickers doughnuts are totally scrumptious.

Since discovering Northwest Wild Caught Salmon earlier this year, I’ve been having fun finding different ways to prepare and enjoy this lovely fish.  I was lucky enough to pick up some nice sockeye salmon at Sam’s Club. This week Stuffed Salmon was on the menu at home, and I decided to try something a little different with the stuffing using cream cheese in my stuffing mix. My Stuffed Salmon is a great way to turn an ordinary night into a special occasion and is great for entertaining as it can be made up ahead of time and cooked before your guests arrive.  You may also try stuffing a whole side of salmon and roasting it for a buffet.  It will look spectacular! I love recreating restaurant style dishes in my home and sharing them with my friends. This easy to make Stuffed Salmon with Cream Cheese and Crabmeat will wow your family and friends. INGREDIENTS 4 salmon fillets 8 ounces of crabmeat drained well I used claw meat 4 ounces cream cheese softened use regular not whipped 1 large eg

Like this amazing and crazy-easy to make Strawberry Peach White Wine Slushie.  Not only is it easy, it’s relatively health-conscious too, as far as bevy’s go; made from only white wine, frozen fruit (no sugar added), and ice!

The idea of vegan cheesecake is nothing new and we owe it to the brilliant creator who experimented using cashews in place of dairy for that thick and creamy consistency of all that is cheesecake. Normally I shy away from cashews and high fat desserts/food in general but we have to live a little (or we’ll go crazy!) and with special occasions such as Thanksgiving – a day that’s cumbersome enough for vegans – I’d say it’s a perfect holiday to thoroughly enjoy and be grateful for all the yumminess available to us. Share plant based desserts like these Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes with family and friends. Show them how delicious this way of eating can be. Eat mashed potatoes with vegan butter because it’s comforting, not because it’s fattening. I love these Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecakes because they’re the perfect little treat for fall parties or just to have something sweet on hand. Simple, rich, pumpkin-spiced, creamy and not too sweet, they hit the spot and give you the comf

What is pimento cheese? Pimento cheese is a treasured Southern dish. It is sometimes referred to as “the pâté of the South”. The base of the recipe is pretty simple – shredded cheese is combined with mayo and diced pimentos . Everyone has their own little variation though – some people use different types of cheese, add spices, or even bread and butter pickles (yuck!). My recipe, the one I’m sharing with you today, includes diced jalapenos, white pepper, and celery salt. My personal favorite cheeses for this dish are sharp cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar. It is best to buy block cheese and shred it yourself. Store bought shredded cheese is full of preservatives that alter the taste. Tillamook makes an excellent version of both cheddars. One of the simplest and most popular ways to serve pimento cheese is in a sandwich. Traditionally, white bread is used and the only condiment is mayo. The pimento cheese sandwich is undoubtedly the most popular item at the Masters golf tournament
