Crave-driven recipes and lifestyle inspiration.
Despite some of our favorite retail stores skipping Thanksgiving to advertise for the Christmas/Hanukkah season, one of my favorite holidays is upon us. This year, I’m sharing the ultimate stuffing recipe with hearty bread and a whole bunch of pork and sage breakfast sausage.

By the end of 2015, my dad will have accomplished three very exciting things – attended the Super Bowl, attended the World Series, and have one of his best recipes featured on Lana del Crave. This recipe deserves all of the ‘fame’ it will receive from this post, as these classic dill pickles are delicious and so easy to make. After getting this authentic recipe from a Russian Jewish client, my dad has since made these pickles a staple in our family.

Happy Super Bowl weekend! Did you guys know Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest food day in America? Next to Thanksgiving, of course. The new and improved Lana del Crave is up and running so my first order of business is to share this delectable dip with you folks.

With 2015 in full effect, and a tropical vacation creeping up quickly, I’ve been doing my best to stay away from grains, sugar, and dairy. Following various Paleo recipes found on Pinterest or in cookbooks has allowed me to do this easily (at least, during the week when there’s no temptation for Saturday/Sunday brunch).

A couple of weekends ago, we celebrated my mom’s birthday with a family brunch at my sister’s house. As this was just a few days after everyone’s New Year resolutions had begun, my sister and I were in search of healthy recipes. She had the eggs and bacon covered, so I decided to bake muffins.

Cauliflower is extremely trendy these days. Packed with fiber and antioxidants, it’s understandable why people have been replacing starchy potatoes with this delicious alternative.
