There is snow in the forecast for this week, but I can't wait for spring to come. Whenever we get closer to a change in weather, I find that all I start wanting to cook is food of the upcoming season. This recipe is a reflection of that desire for the freshness of spring, with […]
Citrus Italian Sodas Two Ways--Grapefruit & Blood Orange
A few months ago we got take out from a local Italian restaurant. Although Trevor and I liked it, Thompson seemed pretty indifferent about the food when we ate it. Since then though, he kept telling us we really needed to go back and get dinner from there again because he really loved it. A bit perplexed […]
Blood Orange Yogurt Bread
I have fond memories of Valentine's day morning growing up. My mom would always leave us a little Valentine's Day gift, card, and box of chocolates outside our bedroom doors for us to find in the morning. Breakfast usually consisted of pink and/or heart-shaped pancakes and strawberry milk. I have kept up similar traditions with Thompson, and […]
Saltine Toffee
I have always been a little bit obsessed with sweet and salty combinations. Salted caramel. Bacon and maple donuts. Sea salt topped chocolate chip cookies. Kettle chips with cookie butter (just trust me). I can't get enough of them. This saltine toffee speaks directly to my salty/sweet loving heart. The best (or potentially worst) part of this […]
Pot Roast with Balsamic Dijon Sauce
Yesterday when Thompson came home from school, he told us that they talked about Groundhog's Day in his class. I asked him to tell me about it, and he said, "It is a special day to celebrate groundhogs. Oh and there was no shadow so spring is coming soon". That last part was really the only […]
Parmesan Salad Cups
It is always nice to have a few reliable entertaining recipes in your repertoire, especially those that seem more impressive than the effort needed to make them. This has become one of those recipes for me. Salad can sometimes be tricky to dish up when you are balancing a plate full of food and a line full […]
Roasted Tandoori Chicken and Broccoli
Lately I have noticed that Thompson has started to get a little pickier about trying new foods. And not even new foods, but just new recipes. Even if it is something he normally loves (like chicken and broccoli), if it looks or smells a little different, he tells me he knows he won't like it. […]
Simple Freezer Tomato Basil Sauce
One of the only ways we can have a homemade dinner on the table most nights is by having a well-stocked freezer. I have mentioned it before, and plan to do a series of posts more about it soon, but freezer cooking has become a necessity in our house. Because I didn't want to eat heavy, casserole-based […]
Green and White Pizza
Of all the times I have made resolutions to eat a little healthier, I don't think my goals have ever included giving up pizza. I just love it way too much. Pizza usually gets a bad rap because it is cheese and sauce laden, but it doesn't have to be that way. With multigrain crust […]
Chicken, Kale, and Lemon Soup
I always crave warm and comforting foods when it is cold out, but after the holiday season, I also want something that isn't too heavy. This soup is just that. It is simple and clean, but not short on flavor. What I love most about this soup is that blending the onion and olive oil […]
Potato and Scallion Frittata
Frittatas are one of our favorite fast dinners. They can be made quickly, and are one of the best ways to make use of whatever leftovers you have in the fridge. If you don't have a leftover baked potato on hand like we did, you can use an unbaked potato. Just cook the potato slices in […]
Soft and Chewy Ginger Cookies
Ginger cookies are a nostalgic holiday treats for me. Growing up, one of our good family friends would make them as part of a treat plate they would give us every Christmas. I don't love ginger normally, but every Christmas when I taste them, I remember how much I really do like ginger when it […]
