It’s Farmer’s Market Day! Which means I come home with a bounty of the freshest fruits and vegetables. This week, we bought extra because I seem to be back on a soup making kick, so I wanted to make sure I had enough to make everything. I always have a Vegetable Lentil Soup on hand, […]
I never really liked potatoes growing up. My parents would microwave them and they would come out unevenly cooked, dry and tasteless. But when Trevor and I were dating (many moons ago!), we were in England and he introduced me to the joys of a Jacket Potato. In the US, a Jacket Potato is called […]
Artichokes – the beautiful edible flower part of a thistle plant. They have three main parts: the external leaves (tough and mostly inedible), the choke (the furry stuff inside) and the heart (the most delicious part of the entire artichoke – one bite of this is worth all the work)! They are healthy (if you don’t […]

The viral Tik Tok cinnamon rolls – they use store-bought cinnamon rolls but with a homemade cooking sauce. Decadent? Very! Sweet? Incredibly! Healthy? Definitely not. But what cinnamon rolls are? I wanted to make something special for breakfast over the weekend and this recipe kept popping up in my feed. So I decided to make […]
Did you know blueberries are little tiny super fruits? They’re low calorie, and high in antioxidants. They can help the inside of your body (like your bones and digestion) and the outside (your skin)! They’re pretty amazing fruits for being so tiny. I guess good things really do come in small packages. Today, I decided […]
Tuscan white beans – a staple in Italian cooking. They are packed with flavor and protein. And they cook up quickly so they make for an easy, healthy option during the week.
