Don’t waste those delicious pumpkin seeds when you’re carving your pumpkin. Spice them up with sweet or savory spices for an instant amazeballs recipe. I used to carve pumpkins and roast the seeds with my mom as a kid. Over the years, I tossed them with all sorts of different spices. This year, I’m sticking […]
A vichyssoise is a soup usually made with leeks, potatoes, and cream. While it’s typically cold, it can be served warm, like this one. It’s a fancy sounding soup that’s actually quiet easy to make. It’s a one-pot wonder soup as it’s all made in the same pot, making clean-up a breeze. And, everything about […]
I hate eggplant. HATE! But this is the only eggplant I’ll eat and everyone in my family agrees! So, I can’t help but be excited to tell you about our vegetarian dinner tonight – eggplant parm melts! They are crunchy from the panko, so you don’t need to fry them (of course, you can if […]
Come Fall, I like to make a soup every week. It’s a bit of comfort food + soup is a great way to get more fruit/veggies into my life. And, kids surprisingly love soup too. If you make it fun to make with them (my daughter LOVES peeling onions, which is great because I hate […]
I made this for dinner (again) tonight and it’s so so so so so good. You can really use any seasoning, too, because like most squash, acorn squash is a blank canvas and absorbs the flavor you put into it. It’s super tender and full of flavor. It’s the perfect Fall side dish.
My husband, Trevor, LOVESSSSSS honey mustard. It’s a weird obsession that we non-honey-mustard-loving-people don’t understand. Never-the-less, I made some homemade honey mustard to cook this chicken and apple recipe in and it’s tasty! The honey really makes the mustard less sharp which we both loved. So maybe all I needed to be converted was a […]
Some people say the ‘purgatory’ refers to the red hot sauce and others say it’s because of the spicy red pepper. Either way, this dish is dynamite. I somehow made eggs taste like pasta in this homemade sauce and it was absolutely divine. Use a good crusty bread to soak up the sauce – you […]
Baked potatoes are one of those foods that transport me back in time. I remember eating very plain, baked potatoes with a dollop of sour cream as a kid (and not loving them). So when I went to college, I topped them with anything and everything I could (and didn’t love them that way either). […]
Apple season is here! And everyone always wants to create sweet dishes with all the apples – apple cake, apple muffins, even apple sauce. But, you can make savory dishes as well! This salmon dish uses fresh apple cider that you can get at any supermarket or apple orchard after you finish apple picking. It […]
