Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Syrup
It’s no coincidence that the header on this page features lemon zest. My addiction to lemons is real, recognized and wholeheartedly accepted. This latest episode in lemon mania comes from way back in the good ol’ days (A.K.A. the ’90s). If you’re new to this particular recipe, let me introduce you to the lightest, fluffiest, […]
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 […]
Bourbon Pecan Pumpkin Cheesecake
This recipe has been in the works for a loooong time. I had to make sure it was just right for you guys! So over the course of a couple of years, I’ve been enduring the difficult task of making (and eating) this cheesecake. It’s been rough. I can’t lie – it was delicious right […]
Cranberry Ginger Relish
Oh, heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy guys! So I haven’t touched this blog of mine in over a month, AND I’m bringing you cranberry relish after Thanksgiving. I’m super on top of things. No worries. During that month I packed up all of our crap, moved to a new city (again), unpacked said crap, hosted Thanksgiving, and then galavanted […]
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 […]
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 teenage stage. I was responsible for more […]
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, so I set out to try it. […]
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 picky. So when it comes to making […]
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… there’s always oatmeal or something. Allow me […]
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 enough to leave the house, so I […]
