Dalgona Whipped Coffee

April 6, 2020 By Joshua Rief Leave a Comment

This indulgently creamy four-ingredient recipe for Dalgona Whipped Coffee is absolutely everywhere for a reason – it’s addictive!

I had no intention of sharing this recipe on the blog.

Why? It’s on virtually every site on the Internet. Seemingly every blog, every show, every YouTube channel has shared this outrageously easy recipe for Dalgona “Whipped Coffee.”

Apparently it blew up on Tik Tok (Hyphen? No hyphen? Capitalization?) originally. I’m a millennial (barely), and even I’m too old for that, so I didn’t follow it all the way back to the viral source. But I was reminded of my intention to make it over the weekend when my sister put a picture of it in our sibling group chat…and several of us proceeded to stop everything we were doing and make it immediately. That was it. We were hooked.

Weekly Menu for the Week of Apr 6

April 6, 2020 By Chelsia Rief Leave a Comment

You guys, we’re about to get into some amazing weather, according to the forecast. Listen carefully, on Thursday, we could get to 70 degrees! SAY WHAT?! I plan on wearing a dress to welcome the occasion.

Grocery shopping sure is a process right now, am I right? I’m been using Grocery Pickup (formerly Clicklist) via Fred Meyer (which is a Kroger affiliate) since it launched three years ago and have never had so much trouble scheduling an order to my groceries until now. Are you in the same boat? I basically have to have my grocery list and weekly menu planned out a week in advance, which means that by the time I go into pick up my current grocery order, the next list and menu needs to be on the verge of being completed.

It’s a lot of brain work. No wonder I’m tired of cooking and planning by Thursday.

But, hopefully these menus offer you a little bit of dinner inspo that helps make your own grocery list and menu planning a little bit easier.

12 Pantry Dinners that are Meatless

April 1, 2020 By Chelsia Rief Leave a Comment

I like to include a meatless meal into my weekly menus at least once a week. It stretches my creativity as well as my wallet because a lot of times, making a meal that doesn’t include the typical protein can be very cost effective, not to mention delicious!

I’ve gotten requests to share more vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free recipes here on the blog more often, and that is something I’m working on. However, you might notice that this recipe round up includes a variety of all of the above for you guys!

I went through all of my favorite “meatless” meals and rounded up my 12 favorites. This list does not include desserts, drinks, or sides, though. However, if you’re looking for recipes that are not just “for dinner” please check out the categories section in the recipe archive. You can look up gluten-free, for example, and it will take you to a page of recipes that are strictly gluten-free.

With that, here we go! All of these 12 recipes are frequently-requested and loved by our family, and I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!
