We went apple picking this weekend at a farm about an hour west of here, called Alstede Farms. We go every year and love it – they have hay rides, animals, pumpkin (and other veggie) pick-your-own and of course and abundance of apples. We love Honeycrisp and Gala, so that’s what we picked for our apple […]
The weather has been teasing us here in the Northeast with cooler Autumn weather. Yesterday morning, is was 59 degrees when I went out for my morning run and I knew right then and there, it was going to be a good night for chili. But with Matilda popping out a new tooth every day […]
Whole chickens were on sale this week and if there is anything my mom taught me, it’s to not pass up a good supermarket sale! So, I bought the chicken and built the meal-plan around it. Since I’m all about using my Instant Pot these days (honestly, I was skeptical about buying one and it […]
During the school year, I make soups once a week. They make so many extra meals and freeze so well. Fast forward to summer, and I don’t want to eat a hot bowl of soup that often. There’s one exception – when I can use fresh summer veggies, like corn and zucchini. Jersey corn is […]
Today, I was at my friend Su’s house and she made lunch for everyone. If you’ve followed along with me over the past year, you know Su makes the BEST spring rolls. I was lucky enough to have them again today and felt so inspired by lunch, that I made a dinner with many of […]
I have made a few different versions of sweet potato soup over the years, but a coconut curried version is by far my favorite. It has the right amount of creaminess to compliment the spice and it’s warming yet not too spicy all in one bowl. While I tend to eat this in the colder […]
In warmer months, we tend to eat Indian food every month. It’s the kind of food that warms you from the inside. But once Spring and Summer come around, we tend to want lighter foods. I’ve been on the hunt for good Indian recipes that are lighter so we can keep enjoying the Indian foods […]
It’s no surprise that I love soup. I eat it every week, sometimes everyday in a week. But soup doesn’t have to be textureless or tasteless. In fact, it can be quite robust and flavorful. But the bigger the flavors, the longer it takes to cook, right? Nope! Not if you have an Instant Pot! […]
There’s a little sandwich shop down the road from us called Mr. Wraps that we adore for quick weekend lunches. Trevor’s favorite sandwich from there is the BBQ chicken wrap. It’s jam packed with bbq chicken and rice. He was craving it this weekend, but we didn’t have a chance to get it. So, I […]
