When you think Valentine’s Day, soup isn’t the first thing that comes to my mind. Well, maybe it is but some would say I’m not normal. 🙂 With my love of soup at an all time high, I wanted to make a soup that really screamed romance or sexy or Valentine’s Day! So, I made […]
Trifle is one of those quintessential British desserts that generally makes an appearance at parties. It always looks more complicated than it is to make, but it’s not! You can just let your friends and family think it was hard to make! Haha! This trifle only needs 4 ingredients: store bought angel food cake (of […]
When I was thinking of a recipe to make with the turkey stock I made from yesterday’s Christmas turkey, I thought making my go-to chicken/turkey noodle soup would be easy and straight forward. But, the creative juices were flowing, so I decided to make dumplings instead of using noodles. And boy, was I right. This […]
In England, kids leave a mince pie out for Santa on Christmas Eve, unlike in the US where we leave out cookies. Since Amelia & Matilda are American & British, we leave out both! Santa is very lucky when he comes to our house!! Mince pies are often mistaken for savory pies in the US, […]

A few years back, I went to this ugly sweater party and someone made a Chex Party Mix It was nothing fancy but everyone loved it. Call is nostalgia, but everyone gobbled it right up. Fast forward to now, and I wanted to make something like that for Amelia’s lunchbox and a holiday party we […]
Another week, another soup! My favorite! This one is a good refrigerator dump – empty whatever you have in your fridge into the pot and you have one amazing soup! This one shines using the colors of Christmas, and is light enough to eat anytime of year. I used fresh cherry tomatoes today, but usually […]
