Have a foodie in your life? Or maybe you’re the foodie and everyone is like, what do you want for Christmas? Here are a few things I’ve found on the web and beyond that I have been loving (and perhaps adding to my own list!). Hope your fellow foodie heart will like them too. 1. These mini latte […]
We’re going retro on this post and I love it. The Holiday Cheeseball is a classic, like bacon and dates, shrimp and cocktail sauce, chicken on a stick with peanut satay. They all say “grab a rum and coke and take a deep breath”. They’re not new ways to wow people but rather old favorites […]
Are you in as much shock as I am that Thanksgiving is next week? Luckily my first attempt at getting ready for it was this easy Cranberry Pear Chutney that is LOADED with flavor. It also nicely solves the whole cranberry debate: We think the pilgrims used them, so we have to have them, but how? Cranberry bread? […]
Anyone need some comfort food? I know I do. There is no doubt that this week has taken a psychological toll on everyone. I think it is good to go back to the simple things that help us care for ourselves and each other. Somehow, despite the discord out there, and all the things we wish […]
We are so in my favorite food season. Roast all the veggies. Make all the soups. And get together with people and huddle around a fire place or table or couch. This dip is one my friend brought to a party and it was so different and yummy I had to grab the recipe. Luckily […]
Now that the leaves are starting to look like the color of pumpkins, I am so excited to share this recipe that I actually guest posted on the Ella Claire Blog last year. It is so so good. I found this recipe in Ruth Reichl’s food memoir Comfort Me with Apples (a sequel to Tender […]
Happy fall weekend everyone! Can you even believe how gorgeous it is outside? I am pretty sure God decided to balance out our everlasting winters with just magical fall weather in New England. I feel like I am inside of a magazine (probably Martha Stewart’s? Maybe Real Simple?) every time I go outside. Yesterday our good friends […]
I know everyone is doing everything FALL, and I am marinating in this gorgeous time of year too. But I am also saying goodbye to one of loveliest parts of summer: fresh garden produce. Specifically tomatoes. And we still have so many! I have been thinking of ways to really capitalize on the […]
Dear Fall, Even though your gorgeous weather means we are all outside for sports every afternoon, and my slow and easy dinner time is gone, you are still my favorite season. And I am determined to enjoy your flavors and bounty even in this super busy time. That’s why I see a whole lot of sheet pan dinners with […]
I was tempted to title this post ‘Lasagna so easy a kid can make it’ because: I love cooking with my kids, so when I was playing around with this recipe, which was trying to be a twist on a pork ragu in a lasagna (minus the wine because, kids) I asked Lucy to help me […]
