These last few months I’ve had a goal of expanding our breakfast options, and preparing breakfast more often. Luckily my little one loves eggs and most breakfast type foods, because sometimes the rest of the day she won’t eat anything but mac n’ cheese. By cooking breakfast more often I’ve been able to make sure…
Wonton Chip Nachos
Almost every year, my family ends up at someones Super Bowl party. Personally I’m not huge on football, it was fun to go to games in high school…because that’s what you and everyone else does in high school. So I still attend these parties for the same reason I did back then. The socialization and…
Honey Ricotta Biscuits
Biscuits are such a fun canvas to play with. They are delicious, buttery, and can take on so many different flavors. This round of biscuits is a little sweet and herby with the softest texture from the ricotta. My family loved them with jam and butter or just an over easy egg. A great biscuit…
Blackberry Lemon Bars
Even I can’t deny it anymore, I obviously have a thing for blackberries and have added them into quite a few of my recipes now. Can anyone really blame me though? The flavor is so wonderful and versatile. The sweet little berries pair well with so many flavors. In these lemon bars the sweetness of…
Butternut Squash Galette
Galette: Essentially a pie made with no pie dish, can be savory or sweet. As usual I won’t write much, because the recipe is the most important part, but I will say I’m so glad I had to think hard on a vegetarian dinner recently for a few out of town friends that came for…
Sausage Gravy and Biscuits
I know we’re past the holidays now, but my Christmas morning breakfast is still a great weekend breakfast for the many cold days still. It’s always such a disappointment to remember that the snow and ice doesn’t end with Christmas, so here’s to a warm weekend breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. For the…
Fig-glazed Bacon Sticky Knots
I love brunch. I love it for many reasons. I have time to enjoy coffee and wakeup before making it. Savory items galore, mixed in with a bit of sweet. This recipe falls on the sweeter side…but with BACON. After making this recipe you will only want bacon that has been coated and roasted in…
Simple Cranberry Sauce
The cranberry sauce I make around the holidays is super simple, sweet, and tangy. It’s exactly what you want to bring a little color and acid to your Thanksgiving plate and leftover turkey sandwiches. I also LOVE a little bit of this orange cranberry sauce on a crostini with goat cheese, add a little pistachio…
Dark Chocolate Pie
Pie is my favorite dessert during the holiday seasons. I almost never eat it any other time of year. I think twice I’ve made a fruit pie in the summer, and it was great but nothing like this dark chocolate pie that I make during Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is a lot of nostolgia tied…
Thanksgiving Shopping List
Last week I went over a few different recipes for the big Thursday in November, Thanksgiving! Below is my grocery list for the following dishes, all serving about 8-10 people, and making 2 pies…because more pie is always better. Herby Thanksgiving Stuffing Soft Rolls Turkey Turkey gravy Cranberry Sauce Dark Chocolate Pie (watch for the…
