Sweet Potato and Kale Hash
I know a lot of people who can’t stand kale. Its tough texture and bitter flavor easily turns people away. I must admit, I too didn’t love this powerhouse vegetable for a long while. I first tried it sautéed, and I wasn’t too impressed. It was coarse and lacked flavor. Unsure of what to do […]
MoreShepherd’s Pie with Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Backpacking through Europe has long been a dream of mine. When I was 13 I had a hot pink, Parisian themed room, complete with photographs of the Eiffel Tower, paintings of the Arc de Triomphe, and various other Parisian trinkets adorning my walls. Even at a young age I longed to live in Paris. Then, […]
MoreOoey Gooey Butter Cake
When a special occasion, celebration, or birthday rolls around, there’s only one dessert that will do for the main squeeze in my life. I wasn’t introduced to this delectable dessert until Jacob and I started dating. His mom got the recipe while in college and it has been a family favorite ever since. We eat […]
MoreAlmond Sugar Cookies
//UPDATE// 1/8// With no school, no work, public transportation closed, and a ban on driving in effect, Jacob and I are enjoying our first blizzard warm and cozy at home. After a morning full of homework for the hubs, and cleaning for me, this snowy day at home left me hankering for a sweet snack. […]
MoreGinger-Pear Muffins
When we first moved to Boston, three-day weekends were our golden ticket to travel. We’d leave bright and early Saturday morning and wouldn’t return until late Monday night. Whether we were headed out to the mountains, or just enjoying ourselves around town, we’d often return to work and school in worse shape than we were […]
MoreCandied Citrus Peels
Homemade food gifts have always been one of my favorite things to give (and receive) during the holiday season. My mom recently mailed me a special issue of Taste of Home magazine that solely focused on food gifts (she knows me all too well). After skimming through pages of masterfully crafted recipes, I began to […]
MoreMaple-Walnut Pie
Well friends, as of last night I officially finished my month of pie. Tomorrow is a new month, and the Christmas season will officially begin. It’s time to move on from the flavors of the harvest and delight ourselves with all that winter has to offer. I saved the Maple-Walnut pie for last for a […]
MoreBourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake (Pie)
As November comes to an end I reflect on all that I have to be thankful for. Which really, is a lot. I’ve realized this month how fortunate I really am. Too often I stress about the things that I don’t have, when really, I should be glad for the things that I do. […]
MoreMoroccan Stew
‘Tis the season for pumpkin spiced lattes, fall roasted veggies, and warm bowls of soup. Fall is my favorite to explore new flavors and recipes. I’ve enjoyed putting twists on classic favorites such as butternut squash mac and cheese, roasted veggie pizza, and beer glazed sausage and apples. We haven’t even made it through October […]
MoreOven Roasted Garlic with Basil and Tomato Sauce
The days of eating spaghetti sauce from a jar are long behind me. Spaghetti sauce was something that we used to religiously keep on hand. It’s an easy fix for dinner when there’s nothing else to cook, and plus, I am married to a carb-loving pasta eater. Seriously, he would eat pasta every day if […]
MoreChocolate Bacon Cupcakes
I’ve always been a bit skeptical about the combination of sweets and bacon. I’ve seen chocolate covered bacon, chocolate bacon candy bars, maple bacon ice cream, and most recently, a bacon ice cream sunday from Burger King. I am not really sure where this revulsion came from. Bacon dipped in syrup is one of my […]
