Homemade pumpkin gnocchi? With sweet potato? Yes, please! I love fall. It’s my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather (most of all) the changing leaves, and the classic fall flavors and foods. I love all the dishes between salads of summers and the stews of winter. Apples, pecans, and everyone’s favorite — pumpkin. [...]
There are a lot of ways to make a tuna melt. But the best tuna melt? That’s this one right here. There’s no mayo or onion and celery in this staple sandwich. Instead, there are some roasted tomatoes, lots of good sharp cheddar. All tucked between thick-sliced sourdough bread that’s pan-fried in butter. It doesn’t [...]
A chocolate fudge mug cake that works?!? I save recipes every single day. Many are dinner recipes, but the majority of the recipes I save are desserts. I have dessert recipes saved from years ago that I’ve never made, and will continue to save them to this day. The reason I don’t make them is [...]
Cheddar Parmesan sourdough anyone? Homemade bread can be intimidating. It doesn’t have to be of course. There are super easy loaves that you can make with little equipment. Then there is sourdough. Making a sourdough starter is a labor of love, for sure. It requires patience, commitment, and lots and lots of flour. I have [...]
The time for an easy vegetarian tortilla soup is now. The weather we’ve been having has not been different from any other year, but that doesn’t mean it’s not irritating. It makes it hard to plan meals when one day it’s 90 and humid and the next is 45 and rainy. Luckily, my pantry is [...]
I love making garlic bread in the oven. Sometimes, I make a quick and easy version. But sometimes, a meal calls for something a little…extra. Extra garlic, extra prep, and extra deliciousness. This is the bread for that meal. It starts with making some garlic confit. This may sound scary — it’s actually pretty simple. [...]
I love tuna, and tuna salad. But trying to find a tuna salad recipe without mayo is pretty abysmal. There are lots of mayo substitutes — Greek yogurt, sour cream, tofu (yes, really!) But I’m not trying to find a tuna salad recipe without mayo that is creamy or anything like that. I’m making the swap [...]
Blue cheese scones anyone? I love scones but typically steer more towards sweet than savory. But what about sweet and savory. That’s what you get here with these blue cheese scones. I came up with this idea after having a blue cheese and apple scone at a local bakery. It was delish, and I was originally [...]
I debated what to call this soup. For many reasons. But finally settled on the best creamy tomato soup. Is it the best creamy tomato soup? Maybe, maybe not. But it was delicious and reminds me of a fun time in the past. A few years back, my husband, a friend, and I went to [...]
I know that you don’t need another chocolate chip cookie recipe. There are a million out there. But what about one made with both milk and dark chocolate, browned butter, and coffee? With a topping of crunchy sea salt on top. One that you don’t need a mixer for. This recipe is extra special. It’s [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
