Soft ginger snap cookies remind me of home and Christmas time with family. This cookie recipe has been passed down to me from my mom who got it from her grandmother so it’s been passed through at least 4 generations of my family. Whether you call them ginger snaps, molasses cookies, or chewy ginger cookies, this recipe is definitely a keeper.

This comforting Italian recipe is one of my favorites that my mom used to make for us. It’s garlicky and delicious but super simple to make! My favorite combination.

This simple and sweet cocktail recipe is perfect for a Fourth of July party or any get together where you need a light and refreshing drink. Made with ingredients that you might have on hand (like I did), it doesn’t follow any traditional cocktail rules. Serve it in whatever glass you like. I made a little pear slice garnish but I think it’s pretty enough without one too!

This healthier version of chicken chimichangas isn’t deep fried like they are at any Mexican restaurant you would order at. These are loaded with veggies and can even be made vegan or vegetarian (see note below). I pride myself on making comfort foods just a little bit healthier by pumping up the nutrition and cutting back on unnecessary additives.
