I don’t think I need to convince anyone about why soups are a perfect dinner option when the weather turns cold. They are simple to throw together, warm, and comforting. My favorite part though? The aroma that fills the house as a soup slowly simmers. It just makes everything feel extra cozy. This soup especially […]
Maple, Pecan, and Oat Scones
Scones have become a favorite weekend breakfast item in our house. They come together quickly and the variation options are endless, making it a great canvas to experiment with seasonal flavors. This maple and pecan version is a fall favorite. I opted to let the pecan and maple flavors shine, but a little cinnamon or […]
Toasted Croissant Sandwiches
When we visited Amsterdam last year, there was a little bakery by our Air BNB that we would buy pastries from every day. We didn’t intend to visit the bakery quite so much, but each morning we found ourselves craving another ham and cheese croissant. A classic ham and cheese croissant was my inspiration for […]
Breakfast Barley with Honey Roasted Plums
Lately I’ve been trying to use a wider variety of grains in cooking and baking. Using different grains revives mundane dishes, and becomes a way to add different flavors and textures than your go-to carbs of choice. If you haven’t tried barley before, its slightly nutty, chewy, hearty, and filling. Breakfast might not be the […]
Roasted Tomato Sauce
If I had to pick only one cooking method that I could use to prepare vegetables, roasting would definitely be it. Throw a baking sheet full of veggies in the oven, forget about it while you get some other things done, and come back to a pan filled with produce that your whole family will […]
Plum Torte
At first glance, when I saw the recipe for New York Times famous plum torte by Marion Burros, I was surprised by the thousands of rave reviews. The recipe looks good, but is deceptively simple. But I trusted there was a reason for the hype, and I am glad I did. My mind is moving towards […]
Bacon Jam
Have you ever heard of bacon jam? If not, it’s about time you did. This balances the lines between sweet and savory and tart and salty perfectly. Spread it on sandwiches, spoon it over toast, dollop it on salads, or just eat it by the spoonful. It does take a little time and some occasional […]
Cherry BBQ Sauce
My 9 year old has become a self proclaimed BBQ sauce expert. We don’t even have it around all that often but he would dip everything and anything in BBQ sauce if we did. So when he saw me making my own BBQ sauce to use for our dinner rather than his favorite pre-made, he […]
Strawberry Magic Cake
Magic cake, or custard cake, is one of those recipes that you just really don’t think will work. One of those fun things to try with kids after you see it on pinterest or instagram, but, inevitably disappoint. One batter that magically cooks into differently textured layers? Seems too good to be true. Except somehow […]
Grilled Zucchini & Lemon with Ricotta
“I haven’t even tried this yet, and I already know it is going to be in my top five favorite vegetable dishes”. That is what Trevor told me as he watched me make this, and his prediction came true. Grilled garden fresh zucchini is amazing on it’s own, but add this simple dressing and creamy […]
Mini Vanilla Bean Scones
Flakey scones and biscuits don’t have to be hard. The key to layers and layers of buttery, flakey deliciousness is very cold butter and a good way to incorporate it into your other ingredients without melting it. I’ve used various methods before, including a food processor, pastry cutter, chopping butter and then cutting it in […]
Grilled Lemon & Asparagus Potato Salad
Not a fan of classic potato salad? Try this version! Rather than the standard heavy mayo based dressing, the dressing for this recipe is olive oil, mustard, and lemon juice based, with just a touch of mayo to add some creaminess. I shared this at a small outdoor BBQ with another couple and assumed we […]
