A food blog for the rest of us
I’ve always been a big fan of chocolate baked goods. Chocolate cake, cupcakes, and definitely chocolate muffins. They’re kind of like a cupcake, but acceptable for breakfast? HECK YES! Count me in.
Now, in all honestly, these double chocolate muffins are amazingly rich, and so tasty. They’re so moist and tender, and have a fabulous texture.

Now that the weather is warmer, we’re eating a whole lot differently. Like these Pineapple and Shrimp Stuffed Avocados. I don’t know about you, but when the temps are in the 90s, the last thing I want to do is cook on a hot stove, or use the oven.
These Pineapple and Shrimp Stuffed Avocados make a great lunch or light dinner. Even better, they’re perfect for entertaining. These Shrimp Stuffed Avocados look so elegant, but your guests will never know how easy they are.

A lot of people say that Italian food is life. I can’t say that we disagree. Now, that’s not to say that we don’t love all kinds of food here.
We just know that Italian food has a special place in our hearts. A great pasta dish, an amazing red sauce, or a fab caprese salad is a staple of a lot of entertaining menus. Colavita is here to help!

If you’re in a dinner rut, these maple balsamic pork chops may be the perfect new dish to try. They’re packed full of flavor, and take about 20 minutes to make. Yep, you heard me correctly. This pork chop recipe can go from ingredients to “dinner is ready” in 20 minutes.
They’re so quick and easy, these Maple Balsamic Pork Chops are a great option for an after work dinner. Pair them with Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts for a great meal.

I love deviled eggs. Seriously. They’re probably my favorite dish for holiday get togethers, and really, I could be happy just having them and dessert. These spicy avocado deviled eggs are a great twist on the traditional version, but still taste amazing.
Our version has a distinct adult flair with the addition of some unexpected spices. They’re low carb, keto friendly, and paleo approved, too!

I am going to admit something that’s not very popular. Are you ready? I am a huge fan of Brussels sprouts. Scandalous, I know. They’ve always been something that was on our family table, and no one had issues with them. These Pan Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze are going to make you fall in love, too.
The combination of the smoky roasted Brussels sprouts, and their natural sweetness coming out, paired with the slightly tangy balsamic glaze really makes this a dish worth trying.

We all love pasta and red sauce, don’t we? So often, though, we’re tempted to take the shortcut and just buy a jar of sauce at the store. While that’s fine and dandy, we can really do so much better. This chunky, meaty Bolognese or spaghetti sauce recipe is something you’ll make again and again.
Wanna know a little secret? It’s fairly easy to make, too. Takes some time, but it’s sooo worth it!
…
We all know and love the traditional Hot Toddy, don’t we? It’s that classic cocktail that we drink during the winter, or when we’re starting to get sick.
Well, this version replaces the whiskey with cognac. The result is an amazingly luxe drink that feels completely different.

With the winter upon us, and flu season in full swing, sometimes you just want something that’s warm and cozy. For many people, soup seems to hit the spot perfectly. This low carb Daikon Noodle Soup recipe may be just what the doctor ordered. Whether you’re sick or not!
Daikon are a type of Japanese radish that is a winter crop. When paired with earthy mushrooms and sweet, caramelized onions, it really creates something special. Even better, this soup is Keto friendly and Whole 30 friendly, too. Perfect if you’re eating low carb.

We all know and love The Pioneer Woman. Her down home style and easy, approachable recipes have made her a hit on both the internet and on the Food Network. She has a ton of cookbooks, and even has a kitchenwares and home accessories line.
