Chocolate Whoopie Pies With (Honey-Sweetened!) Raspberry Buttercream Filling

Here are two facts: 1) Holistic Squid will never be a site devoted to baked goods. 2) If you find a sweet treat here, it’s because it’s really, really good. I don’t know how bakers do it. I nearly killed myself perfecting these chocolate whoopie pies – or more specifically, the honey-sweetened raspberry buttercream filling.

Savory Fish Pie with Cauliflower Crust

Being married to my very own Bloke for almost a decade, I’ve learned quite a bit about British culture. Don’t tell my relatives, but some of it I just don’t get. Fawlty Towers, mincemeat pie, and pathological politeness (if you know what I mean, you know what I mean) all cause me to raise an eyebrow

Easy Homemade Ranch Dressing

I don’t know about you, but I think homemade ranch dressing is one of those good ol’ American comfort foods that makes everything twice as good. It’s a lovely dressing for a simple mixed green salad, and, of course, ranch makes an awesome dip for veggie slices, indulgent fried foods, and even sandwiches. I worked for

Kale and Sausage Soup

In a few weeks it will be the one year anniversary of launching my Real Food Meal Plans. Oh, boy has it been an adventure. In the beginning, I didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into – a huge weekly commitment of testing recipes; compiling shopping lists; writing recipes and cooking time lines; and

Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Sauce

As a REAL food foodie, I get super excited by the challenge of taking classic comforting junkie foods and transforming them into nutrient-dense dishes that aren’t lacking in deliciousness. Sweet potato casserole makes a perfect candidate. You remember this holiday side dish, right? Sweet potatoes so sweet from marshmallows that you can only eat a

Veggie Quinoa Cakes

One of the biggest challenges of eating real food is the inconvenience factor. You know – those moments where you’re so starving and the easiest thing to do is rip something out of a package and chow down. Or stop at a drive through to scarf down a burger, fries, and milk shake. Or (historically

Wild Mushroom Ragout Over Baked Spaghetti Squash

This mushroom ragout is one of the best things I’ve eaten lately, and that’s saying a lot. I haven’t always been a fan of edible fungi. Mushrooms were always way out of bounds for me as a kid, but somewhere in my early 20’s I fell in love with their earthy, savory deliciousness. During my

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies With Maple Cream Cheese Filling

Today I’m sharing these fun pumpkin whoopie pies with maple cream cheese frosting – a grown-up version of my favorite childhood baked good. As you may know, my baking skills are less than expert, so luckily this recipe is super easy and pretty fail-proof. The whoopie pie (also know as a ‘gob’) is a Pennsylvania Dutch

Brown Butter Sage Marshmallows (The Perfect Sweet Potato Casserole Topper!)

I’m not one for fussy food, but sometimes holidays call for elaborate and fun surprises. That’s why I was so thrilled to find these brown butter sage marshmallows from BraveTart in planning this year’s thanksgiving menu. The original recipe calls for corn syrup, but I knew from past experiments that both honey and maple syrup make

Moroccan Lamb Stew

I have never met a one pot meal that I’ve loved quite as much as this Moroccan lamb stew. You can throw these ingredients in the slow cooker in less than 20 minutes in the morning. The tempting aromas will waft through your home all day, and when you sit down to this melt-in-your mouth meal at

Magical Chili and The Elk Hunter

Back in Pennsyl-tucky – as I like to refer to my home state when I’m referring to its redneck ways – hunting is a way of life. My grandpa had a hunting camp deep in the woods where I learned to shoot a BB gun (at a tin can). It was considered an excusable absence

Homemade Caramel Apples from Scratch

Growing up in the Pennsylvania, there were certain things that made fall fall – sweater weather, bon fires, hot cocoa, technicolor leaves, hay rides, and everything apple and pumpkin. While autumn cues aren’t quite the same here in Southern California, there’s no reason not to indulge in a treats like homemade caramel apples while walking
