Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
As with all things parenting, there is far too much information out there. Camps of people who adamantly swear that their seven step method is sure to cure any sleep challenges, or that certain activities are the best brain boosters. Over our last 6 months of new parenthood we’ve walked cautiously and occasionally unsteadily through […]
Steak Cobb Salad with Quinoa
2019 is back in action and this year will be a year of slowing down, noticing and celebrating small joys, and of course adding new recipes into the portfolio! Taking a mini internet hiatus over the December break gave me some much needed time to pause, reflect on, and notice many of the positive things […]
Bacon Mac & Cheese with a Chipotle Panko Crust
Yes, this dish was as good as it sounds, and yes, we had it for dinner between TWO thanksgiving feasts! On Thanksgiving day we visited my sister-in-law’s parents. Friday was Snacksgiving 2017, which featured this here mac and cheese, and then Saturday was Thanksgiving with my fam. Families and holidays can be filled with […]
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
This here blog – my little corner of the world wide web – turns 2 today! While many celebrate birthdays with cake, I’ve decided to treat my savory loving self by cooking Ina Garten’s Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. I’ve prepared her recipe here as written (only swapping pancetta for bacon) because why alter […]
Loaded Twice-Baked Potatoes
There is a deep joy that comes with seeing friends who you’ve known for many years. This afternoon I had brunch with some of my college friends and we laughed, we drank, we reminisced, and we put a lady-vacation onto the calendar. Anyone have suggestions for Montreal or Quebec? We are heading there in April! […]
Cider-Braised Brussels with Bacon
Happy Halloween! This recipe comes 100% from Eating Well magazine. I rarely cook and post a recipe without making any changes, but when this issue came in the mail I knew I needed to cook this as-is. My blog here is my online ‘recipe box’ – my place to store all of the things that […]
The Harissa Breakfast Bowl Experiment
Harissa, I’m in love! Over the course of the last year I’ve eagerly saved several recipes that highlight this North African hot pepper paste such as The Book Cooks’ one pan roasted chicken. Some reading led me to the fact that each brand can have a slightly different flavor, and so I picked up a […]
Potato Skins
“Just show up.” It is this simple mantra that brings me back to my computer after a decent hiatus. That, and an energizing conversation with a close friend who has started his own blog that explores school desegregation and/or resegregation happening across our country today. As our friends munched on yummy appetizers and watched the […]
The Quinoa Breakfast Bowl Experiment
Quinoa for breakfast (such as this) keeps popping up in my life and it seemed about time to give it a go. We are huge quinoa fans and regularly have it for lunch and dinner – in casseroles, as a side dish, on top of a salad, etc. Without enough ingredients to truly follow […]
