I was at the farmers market the other day getting some fruit and veggies and saw a new cheese vendor. He was selling fresh burrata and I simply couldn’t say no! It’s so creamy and delicious and you can make the BEST side dishes with it. So I decided to buy it. But then I […]
All over the country, people have been cooking and baking for their holidays this month (and there are a lot of holidays to celebrate)! We are a Hanukkah-Christmas house, so it feels like we’re celebrating the entire month of December! With Hanukkah being over and Christmas happening now, I like to make some of my […]
Trevor’s mum, Lorraine, makes sausage rolls for Christmas ever year and I dream of them all year round! They’re flaky and savory, and have that Christmasy flare to them that make you want to eat the whole tray before any party begins. They do take a little work to make, but they’re so worth it! […]
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 […]
The holiday’s are here and I am in love with all the happiness, the gatherings and the food! Candles are burning, the oven is going and I am cooking cooking cooking away! My parents are visiting this week and I’m making my Dad’s favorite steakhouse dinner tonight. Steak, green beans and these stuffed mushrooms. Now, […]
*** This festive treat was featured on Twinkl here as part of their Christmas recipes campaign.*** Easy. Simple. Scones. These are a sweet treat on a cold morning with a nice cup of tea. They are cakey, but with a little crunch and a little chew. They are sweet, but not overly sweet. And they […]
The end of the year is here! I cannot even believe it! 2021 was another whirlwind of a year – nothing boring about it! Well, it’s time for Christmas, so here we go! Lots of dinner ideas. Lots of appetizers/side dishes/snacks and even more dessert ideas. Oh, and I threw in a few Christmas morning […]
Can you believe it’s December?!?! Where did this year go?! I feel like I say that every year, and yet here we are again. The holidays are in full swing which means I’m making and buying cookies left and right! Cookies are the perfect thing to have on hand when family and friends come to […]
Red & Green – the colors of Christmas. This is such a fun time of year to make festive food. And a double bonus, it really can be healthy! Just by using some beets and their greens, you have an easy lunch of side dish and it’s jam packed with flavor. When you’re roasting the […]
Stuffing – in my world, it’s not a family fav. But it’s such a staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas time, that we had to find a way to make it delicious. It’s usually pretty mushy and can even be bland, so when I found this flavor-packed, fruit and veggie stuffing all made into a tight […]
