Crock Pot Chicken and Lentil Stew
A few weeks ago my blog turned 4! Four whole years of teaching myself to cook and building my confidence in the kitchen. Over the course of almost 200 recipes I’ve built a battery of weeknight dishes, learned how to prepare healthy lunches for the week, experimented with the instant pot, and become more and […]
Paprika Beef Chili
Recently on a pantry clean out I found FOUR containers of paprika. FOUR! So – I set out to make a few dishes with hearty servings of this spice in order to whittle down my stash. The first dish I made was a paprika roasted sheet pan chicken. I had high hopes of this one […]
Lemon Garlic Hummus
Ok people, it’s a HEAT WAVE up in here. My house was built in 1910 and back then New England didn’t get to 98 degrees in August so I don’t have any air conditioning beyond the window unit that we’ve installed in our bedroom. I’m sitting here with a fan literally in my face as […]
Pesto Gnocchi
It’s Marathon Monday here in Boston, a day where the city pauses and the entire 26.2 mile race course is filled with cheering crowds. Today the weather for the marathon was abysmal, but that didn’t stop runners from charging ahead. Many folks in Boston have a specific intersection that they call their own for watching this race, but […]
Rosemary Garlic Salmon and Brussels Sprouts
Last weekend I traveled to Connecticut for a weekend of bridal pampering and planning for one of my best friends who is getting married in August. We visited the stunning vineyard where she is getting married, had her hair trial, and ordered her shoes, all while the Maid of Honor and myself (matron of honor) […]
The Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic Experiment
March sure has come in like a lion. First, we are getting a puppy! Our endeavor has been a rollercoaster, mostly due to my allergies which limit the pooches I’m able to snuggle. When we stumbled across the Bernedoodles (Bernese Mountain Dogs bred with Poodles) we fell in LOVE but countless breeders only had puppies […]
Tomatillo Chicken and Rice [Instant Pot]
Sunday dinners are a special time of the week. It marks the end of a restful weekend and indicates the transition back into the work week. For food lovers like myself, Sundays are often filled with meal prep and the opportunity to make a large batch of food that can be reheated throughout the week. […]
Spaghetti with Clam Sauce
‘Plan to have no plan’ was the theme of our date night this weekend as the hubs and I went out into the world and saw where the day took us. We browsed the aisles of a favorite local bookstore then sipped on warm tea as we shuffled about town in single digit weather. We […]
The Beef and Broccoli Experiment
As you may know, us living on the East Coast were just clobbered by a massive storm that was characterized as “bomb cyclone” Grayson. Boston simultaneously experienced the highest recorded tide at the height of this storm which led to water flowing down subway stairs and inches of standing ocean water filling downtown streets where […]
