Yesterday was Halloween and we had so much fun going trick-or-treating. But now our cabinets are FULL of candy! While eating the little chocolates all night long sounds great (especially York Peppermint Patties with a glass of Pinot Noir – it’s amazing, trust me), I wanted to make some kind of cake with them […]
Just the sight of sugar coated cranberries reminds me of the holidays. They’re just the right amount of tart surrounded by the perfect amount of sweet. And the best part is they can be used in anything from drinks, to table decorations to the tastiest of cakes and muffins. This basic muffin recipe is enhanced […]
I was walking through the supermarket the other day and saw a bag of fresh cranberries. They were screaming to be picked up and baked into something delicious, so I grabbed some pears, brought them home and made this cake. The base layer crust and the crumble topping are made at the same time. […]
Here’s an easy dinner that can be cooked all on one-sheet pan even with three different cooking times. Just prep each stage as the prior one is cooking and it’ll all be done at the same time. Cuts down on dishes, work and time. And you end up with a super healthy and super easy […]
This super easy pasta dish doesn’t need exact measurements as it can be reduced or doubled (even tripled) as needed. This will be a huge Halloween party hit and it’s super easy to make. Even the littles will love it! If you don’t want to bother making the eyes with cheese and olives, you can […]
I can’t help but think of Thing from The Addams Family when I see these creepy hands coming out of my pot pie. Well, they’re not that creepy – I traced Amelia’s hand so they are a little more cute than creepy. The pot pie filling is made pretty quickly on the stove and instead […]
I’m really enjoying making all of the Halloween food this week and so is Amelia! She’s never eaten so much food and it’s all because she is so into Halloween this year. She’s going to be a “friendly ghost” so I’ll have to do an extra special ghost something soon (more on that another day). […]
On to day two of our Halloween week and we’re having the most delicious brains!!!! Just kidding, it’s spaghetti squash bolognese, but you can easily fit this into your Halloween party and dinner menus. It might even excite your kids to try something new! This is a low-carb, fully balanced dinner with all the sauce, […]
Stuffed spiders…. mmmm! That is, if they’re really just portobello mushrooms and not real spiders. Ha! These have crunch. Creaminess. Zing and all sorts of amazing flavors. They have a lot of steps but it’s worth it. You can clean the gills out of the mushrooms or not. I do. It just depends on your […]
Don’t tell my Gram this, but Mark Bittman has the best banana bread recipe. He used to write recipes for the NYTimes and I love every single one of them. He really understood how to combine flavors in just the right way but also always kept it simple. This is his banana bread recipe that I […]
