I think my mom was super ahead of the times when I was a kid. That, or I’m just catching up to her amazing thinking! Let me back up. When I was a kid, my mom used to stick vanilla beans in sugar and I thought it was the strangest thing. Little did I know, […]
I’ve made a lot of cranberry sauces over the years (tropical cranberry sauce, roasted grape, apple and cranberry sauce, cranberry orange relish) and now, I finally decided to just make a basic cranberry sauce. WHY DID I WAIT!?!? 🙂 This is so super easy, so super good and was perfect with our holiday turkey tonight. […]
If you haven’t heard, we moved to Florida a few months ago. The transition was hard, but the holidays are starting to make it joyful. For Thanksgiving, we made a BIG turkey (here’s how I made mine), but you can’t have turkey without cranberry sauce. Last year, I roasted my cranberry sauce and the year […]
We went apple picking over the weekend at Alstede Farms and have a TON of apples. They have an amazing farm where you can pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, sunflowers, veggies, do a hay ride, ride a pony…. it’s a huge place but super well run. So, we love to go there every Fall. While we picked […]
We had a lot of ribs leftover from dinner last night, so I knew I wanted to use the meat somehow for dinner tonight. But, since the meat was already cooked, I didn’t want to recook it in some kind of sauce or casserole and make it tough. So, it’s Tuesday – why not make […]
We eat a ton of hummus in our house… a TON! And it’s great because it’s so healthy and versatile. It can be used as a dip, a spread, or even mixed into muffins (yes, really! I’ll share my recipe for it soon). I think Im going to put this on my sandwich or on […]
I’m a big salmon lover. I blame my parents (they are too)! We ate it all the time growing up and while I hated it back then, I’ve really learned to love and appreciate how good it is. If you search my archives, you’ll see over a dozen recipes I have made using salmon. But […]
Summer should be all about fun and not always being stuck cooking in the kitchen or at the bbq (unless you want to!). So, today, I took my own advice and just let loose. We had the BEST day playing in the splash pads, playing in the sensory bins at the park, seeing lots of […]
With corn and zucchini in-season right now, I’m getting my fill of both of them! They make the perfect base for a chowder or salsa. But I especially love them in a fritter (and so does 1 of my girls! The other one doesn’t like when different foods touch – haaaa). So today, I’m making […]
From quesadillas to tacos, we’re still celebrating Cinco de Mayo days after it ended because who doesn’t love tacos on Tuesday?! We had a lot of leftovers from last nights cauliflower quesadillas so I wanted to use the leftovers in a new way. I used the pineapple and cilantro in the slaw and salsa, my […]
