My husband, Trevor, is from England, so we tend to make more traditional English foods when it comes to the holidays. This is one of them – braised red cabbage. It’s like a warmed, slightly pickled cabbage, with a little sweetness. Pickling is really common to do to foods far up North so it’s no […]

Vegetable Lentil Soup
It’s Fall, ya’ll! October is here and so are the warm comfort foods. Soups and stews, breads and casseroles and all the delicious desserts. It’s truly my favorite season! I’m kicking off this month with a yummy lentil soup! Lentils are often confused with beans, but they’re actually a legume. They are one of the […]
Turkey Shepard’s Pie
Over long holiday weekends, I like to make dishes that I can leisurely cook and that take too long to make during the week. Generally, something tasty but needs a bit of cooking time and love. So this past Labor Day weekend, I made lots of bbq food but wanted to also make something we […]
Sheet Pan Chicken Breast With Potatoes and Cabbage
The other day, someone on our local Buy Nothing group* was giving away her weekly garden veggies she grows. She grows SO much and can’t eat it all, so she gives it out to her neighbors. I never ask as I want to leave the food for those in need. But no one wanted her […]
Healthy Pasta Primavera
Morning, friends! How’s everyone doing today? I woke up craving vegetables, so it’s that kinda day. 🙂 I’ll throw some in my morning smoothie or toss some spinach and onions with a scrambled egg to help but I know I’m going to need to load-up on more throughout the day. So I’m going to make […]
Fresh Tomato Salad
Oh summer, I love you and your abundance of fresh tomatoes! Small ones, big ones, multicolored ones – I love them all! There really is nothing better than a fresh, juicy tomato. When I eat tomatoes, I usually just pop them like candy. I could eat a box in a day. But every now and […]
Chicken, Chickpea & Spinach Curry
Hi, friends! This week, I’m really feeling the Indian food. I haven’t yet found an Indian restaurant around here that really speaks to me, so I’ve been trying to learn more about how to make it myself (you can take a peak here at some of the other Indian dishes I’ve made recently). Sometimes, that […]
Carrot Slaw with Cranberries, Toasted Walnuts & Citrus Vinaigrette
Happy New Year! It’s that time of the year where the holidays are now over and I’m trying to clean out the fridge from holiday food to balance it with some healthier options. Anyone else tired of holiday food?! Samesies! Ok, back tot he recipe – so last night, I made these AMAZING Lobster Tails. […]
Roasted Chicken, Apple & Delicata Squash
Delicata squash. The creame de la creme of squashes! It tastes like a squash married a sweet potato. Funny, I know, but so so good! It’s soft, too, but not too soft. You can even eat the rind! Its beautiful fall colors compliment any dinner plate. And it’s beyond easy to make. Just slice, season […]
Quick Homemade Pickled Cucumbers
Half sours are my favorite pickles! They’re just a little bit briny and not strong like a dill pickle you’d get in a restaurant or from the supermarket. They have the perfect crunch, the perfect spice and they’re the perfect size! When I was a kid, we always went to the pickle man who kept […]
