This macaroni salad recipe is my fresher take on the kind I ate growing up. If you’re familiar with classic macaroni salad, you know that it’s usually coated in an ulta-creamy dressing made with mayo, sugar, and even sour cream. Though this kind of dressing is too rich for me these days, there’s still a lot that I do like about macaroni salad. Diced dill pickles, vinegar, and mustard give it a tangy, briny flavor, and crisp veggies like bell pepper, celery, and onions add plenty of crunch. So earlier this spring, I set out to make my own macaroni salad […]

After some experimentation, the result was an incredibly rich, decadent, creamy chocolate frosting that’s secretly made with wholesome ingredients.

Just 1 blender, 6 ingredients, and 25 minutes required.

Easy 1-Pot Refried Beans

There’s something incredibly satisfying about refried beans from a restaurant. The crackly top, creamy texture, tantalizing salty flavor. Pure bliss.

Are they probably filled with not-so-healthy ingredients? Sure. But on occasion, such a worthy indulgence. 

When experimenting with a version at home, I was going for that classic creamy, buttery texture, and simple seasonings — sticking mainly to salt and broth. Anything more seemed overcomplicated. After all, well-salted, creamy beans don’t need much else.
