Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

Even though it was 80-some-odd degrees outside when I made this salad, I can safely say that I am now fully and officially into fall. My tea supply has been restocked. I got a new pair of fuzzy pajama pants. I’ve got my stack of Thanksgiving themed magazines…

Cheesy Lemon Thyme Popcorn

Oh popcorn. What a long and tumultuous relationship we’ve had. There was, of course, the early childhood stage: occasionally that unmistakable smell and sound of kernels popping on the stove would fill the house and I knew a special treat was on the horizon. Then there was the…

Peanut Butter & Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches

Don’t you just love when food gets all magical on you? I’m fascinated by watching yeast bloom, or egg whites transform into meringue. But when I read I could watch frozen bananas turn into ice cream, it just sounded too good to be true. It also sounded delicious,…

Rustic Sweet Cherry Galette

Is it bad that part of the reason I look forward to having children is that I’ll be able to cook and eat a greater variety of things? Don’t look at me like that – let me explain. Currently, it’s just the hubs and me. And hubby is…

Open-Faced Egg & Goat Cheese Sandwich

When I get breakfast at a restaurant, I want EVERYTHING. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, french toast/pancakes. All of it. This probably stems from my lack of motivation most mornings to make elaborate breakfasts at home. On Saturday OR Sunday (almost never both), I’ll make the whole shibang, sure. Otherwise……

Charred Corn Salad

Let’s consider this step one of incorporating real food back into my diet. A week of awesome vacationing/eating in San Diego was directly followed by a week of sickness/sleeping, during which the most solid food I ate was an antibiotic. Yesterday I was able to stand up long…

Pickled Vegetables

This has been an adventurous week over here. I crossed two, yes TWO, things off my cooking bucket list! Whoa – big things! On Wednesday I cleaned and prepared mussels for the first time. This one I’m almost ashamed to admit. For the amount of mussels I’ve consumed…

Mango & Jicama Salad

This salad seems entirely appropriate coming off the heels of a serious Breaking Bad addiction in this household. Super serious. Three weeks ago, the hubs innocently suggested we start watching it, probably thinking we’d be able to continue on with life as usual afterward. Oh no. In that time,…

Boozy Mint Lemonade

If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a stroll over to fantasy land for a moment. You know, the one where you have your own private island, endless free time, and people to fan you with palm leaves while you sip something delicious? Maybe we can even…

Chickpea Cakes with Spicy Herb Sauce (Gluten-Free)

Alright Patrice (my dearest gluten-intolerant friend), next time you ask me to make hummus or something with bacon, I’m making you these instead! Well, I might also make something with bacon. We can always use some bacon. Anyway, about these cakes. They’re sort of like hummus in that…
