Every Wednesday, Thompson has blueberry muffins at his preschool, and every Wednesday morning, he is still excited about that fact. I have mentioned his love for blueberries before, and it hasn't died down yet. A few weeks ago he was dragging his feet getting ready for school, telling me he just didn't feel like going […]
Honey Candied Pistachios
I always love having something a little crunchy and a little sweet to add to my salads, and these honey candied pistachios are perfect for that. If they make it long enough to go in a salad, that is. We have a hard time not just snacking and eating the whole bunch as they cool. […]
Roasted Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream
Nothing says summer to me more than homemade strawberry ice cream. The pink peppercorns in this ice cream add a subtle and slightly floral flavor to the classic. Try to make this with enough time to chill overnight. I have tried to rush the process before, and the texture and flavors don't end up as […]
The Best Potato Salad
Potato salad is one of those things that can be really great, or, well, really not so good. I have tasted many a disappointing potato salads. Whenever I try some, I always measure it up against my sister's recipe. She made this for a family 4th of July shindig a number of years ago, and […]
Sticky Balsamic Ribs
Summertime is in full swing and somehow it is already pretty much July. Which also means it is almost July 4th! This week, I will be sharing some of my favorite summer BBQ recipes. First up--these sticky balsamic ribs. Just trust me when I say you won't ever need another rib recipe ever again. This […]
Parmesan Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
This appetizer has become quite the favorite in our family. My sister, who is an amazing and professionally trained chef, first made them for us one Christmas, and now she will be stuck making them for us forever when we all get together. On the holidays when we can't make it back to my hometown, […]
Slow Cooker Non-Refried Beans
These homemade "refried" beans are SO MUCH better tasting and healthier than their high sodium canned counterpart. Not only that, but they freeze really well, so they are just as convenient as store bought. I often 1 ½ times the recipe (that is what will fit in my crockpot), then divide them into 1 ½ […]
Sweet Potato Oven Baked Chicken Strips with Spicy Honey Drizzle
A few years ago, Trevor and I were at a restaurant and I kept telling him that the chicken I was eating tasted familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. He tried a bite and without hesitation said, "chicken nuggets dipped in honey". And I realized he was spot on. Obviously, the dish […]
Crème Fraîche Au Gratin Potatoes
If I had to pick my last meal, au gratin potatoes would have to be on the menu. If they weren't so cheese/cream/butter laden, I would have them all the time and never grow tired of them. Since they are such an indulgence though, they are all the more special on the occasions I do […]
Oatmeal Wheat Pancake Mix
If you have a little boy who loves to request pancakes on the busiest days (maybe that is just me?), then this recipe is perfect for you. It is easy to put together, and we always have some on hand in the fridge and/or freezer. They are hearty without being heavy and healthier than most […]
Massaman Curry with Beef
Thai is one of our favorite take out foods to order. We have been to many Thai restaurants over the years, and I judge them based on my favorite Thai dish--Massaman Curry. Sour, spicy, and a little sweet, Massaman has become a comfort food for me. The other week I was feeling a little under […]
Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Muffins with Salted Maple Butter
This may just be my new favorite muffin recipe. I made these for an after school snack the other day and we all sat around the table eating way too many as we talked about our day. I rarely eat muffins for breakfast, but I haven't been able to resist these each morning. Not only […]
