Pass the Prosciutto – Stuffed Prosciutto Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze
Sponsored Post I love a good appetizer. They set the mood for your tastebuds and get you excited for the meal to come. And if they’re wrapped in prosciutto, well… that’s just icing on the cake! Or ham on the meatball. Either way. These meatballs were crafted with Thanksgiving in mind. I stuffed some of […]
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Excuse me while I go into total Oprah-voice-mode: IIIIT’S SOOOUUUUUP SEEEAAAAASSSOOOONNNNN!!! I know I’ve expressed my soup love before, but guess what: can’t stop, won’t stop. I mean, come on! It’s everything you need in one bowl! So let’s put on some funky socks, then some slippers, and get to stirring a pot full of hearty […]
Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Shaved Fennel and Melon Salad
If you live in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, this is probably just what you need right now. A light and refreshing salad with fresh herbs and a jalapeño kick! Right?? Unless, like me, you live in San Francisco… In which case we can totally enjoy all the benefits of this salad next month […]
Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Oh, the things you can cook in 30 minutes. Life-savers, right? Well, I’m guessing that pork tenderloin doesn’t immediately come to mind for a quick dinner. It totally should! Just think of it. In less time than you would spend waiting for pizza delivery, you can make a beautifully glazed, dinner-party-worthy pork tenderloin. Thats pretty […]
Celery & Parmesan Salad
I recently mentioned my unshakable love for all things celery, and my love for Ina Garten is no secret. So when I saw her make this salad a few years back on Barefoot Contessa, it should come as no surprise that it was the very next thing I made. It was delicious. And I didn’t […]
Indian Spiced Chicken Wings
When it comes to food and holidays, are you a traditionalist or do you thrive on serving the unexpected? (Have I been watching too many Sex & the City marathons? I feel that question was worded in the style of Carrie Bradshaw…) Personally, I like to walk the line between the two worlds. Take Thanksgiving – […]
Roasted Beet and Lentil Salad
I guess I can see why some people aren’t down with beets. They’re a bit funky looking, and most people seem to have some unpleasant childhood beet memories. Just like peas, lima beans and brussels sprouts before them, beets get tossed in the mental “icky healthy food” bin without a fair fight! You can’t just […]
Cacao Nib Caramels
As soon as I poured this caramel hotness into its cooling vessel, I could only think one thing: “I’ve made a huge mistake.” (Props to my fellow Arrested Development fans) Not that I messed up the recipe or anything, I just knew I was on track to eat way too many of these caramels. The […]
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 piled up on my nightstand. Did I […]
