Parmesan Cashew Crusted Salmon
Writing today while standing up at my kitchen island with a sleeping baby strapped to my chest. How do other newborn parents find time to write and keep up with blogging? I have ideas swirling around in my head but L’s nap time is precious and each minute must be utilized with great intention! Naps […]

Creamy Pesto Spaghetti with Fresh Tomatoes
Well, it’s been almost a month since I last posted and in that time we have welcomed our snuggly, curious, and lovable son into this world! Liam was born on 7/13/19 (all prime numbers!) at 4:17 in the morning. He was born 7lbs 11oz and 20 inches long, 48 hours after my water broke. It […]

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 […]

Farro and Mushroom Stuffed Acorn Squash
This is my 100th post, and I am SO happy that it gets to be this delicious dish. Last week, while on vacation, I had lots of time to catch up on reading some of my favorite blogs and cataloging ‘things to make.’ During that process, I stumbled upon this amazing recipe from Figs and […]

I first sprayed the mushroom with olive oil and seasoned it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then I […]

The Spinach Artichoke Dip Experiment
Those of you who are also teachers and/or work in schools know how special the first day of summer is, and today, we celebrate with the cheesiest spinach and artichoke dip in all the land! Surprisingly, I’ve never made spinach artichoke dip, despite the fact that I tend to hover near it at parties. After […]

One Pot Pasta
I came home ravenous last night after my first real run of the season. It felt great to get moving again but I needed to make something that was fast, easy and hard to mess up so that I could engage in some necessary r&r. In previous weeks I’d seen a few recipes for this method […]

Basil & Parsley Pesto
With LOADS of fresh parsley this week I was excited to make a sauce that I could freeze and/or keep in the fridge a bit longer than the fresh herbs would survive. After browsing through several recipes I landed on this one that was an equal ratio of basil to parsley. I’m going to keep […]
