Happy Monday, everyone! I hope your week is starting off sweet. It should be, because it’s National Oatmeal Cookie Day!
In honor of this very special, once-a-year occasion, I thought I’d share my remix of the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie: my Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie recipe!
These are excellent to make the night before a study session, when you know you will have a large group of people at your place, or when you know you’re going to pull an all-nighter and will need some quick energy at the ready. (more…)

Yep, that’s right. Today is National Pistachio Day. Thank you to The Nibble, by the way, for posting such an awesome national food holidays calendar. I like to check it out from time to time to see what upcoming foods or dishes are being honored, so I can help celebrate on Kitchenability. Like, with the pistachio. Seriously.
Pistachios are my favorite nut. And I firmly believe it isn’t possible to eat just one. Have you ever tried? Impossible! They are just too good. And, eating a bunch of pistachios is actually okay — as long as you don’t eat the whole bag — because they contain fewer calories and more potassium and vitamin K per serving than other nuts. (more…)

This past weekend I had the honor of helping to host a baby shower for one of my dearest friends. I cooked all of the food at the party, and man did I cook!
I made a lot of different appetizers, including several items from Kitchenability 101, like my Sweet Chili Cranberry Meatballs, Pigs in a Snuggie, asparagus wrapped in bacon, and Mediterranean pasta.
I also made cucumber tea sandwiches shaped like owls to fit with the party’s theme. Everyone loved them! (more…)

Once it’s cleaned and all ready to go, I didn’t want to leave you hanging without any tips on what to do next, so I’m also including one of my favorite snack time artichoke recipes. (more…)

My best friend has a lot of food allergies and is restricted from eating certain things like dairy, soy, and wheat — to name a few. So, since she’s so limited, we decided to make our own granola bars, fruit roll-ups and rice krispie treats — all made from ingredients she can eat. (more…)
