Ratatouille

May 23, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Yes, ratatouille is a meal and not just a movie. I am always looking for some easy recipes that are also pretty to look at. We all eat with our eyes first, so finding something that is appealing to the eye is always important when I am coming up with dinner. I started making this […]

Poke bowls at home

May 17, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

Many years ago I believed that california rolls were “sushi”, along with all the other terrible rolls covered in sauce, mayonnaise and tempura crunch. I have since seen the light and corrected my wrongs. Sushi is now in my diet at least once a week along with other raw fish dishes. Obviously, poke shops are […]

Kladdkaka (yes.. it’s a real thing)

May 14, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

I always use to be a serious dessert lover. Especially anything chocolate. Over the past few years I’ve sort of stopped enjoying chocolate in the same capacity. However, when that hankering for something chocolate kicks in, I’m desperate to find something to satisfy. Sometimes I’ll make a molten cake since it is easy to make […]

Deviled Egg

May 10, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

Anyone who doesn’t have a secret love for deviled eggs, quite frankly, I don’t trust. I feel like they are definitely a staple of any pot luck, Easter, or church get-together. The one thing I will say about deviled eggs is that peeling one sucks. Whoever signs up to bring these is a real hero. […]

N.Y. Cheesecake

April 23, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

It was my sweet neighbors birthday last week, so naturally I had to make something for her! Since she is my neighbor, she gets to try a lot of things so I had to rack my brain to figure out a dish I have not made for her. While thinking on it, it dawned on […]

strawberry breakfast bars

April 19, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

The grocery store was having a mega sale on strawberries, so naturally, I purchased way too many. We definitely eat a lot of fruit around this house, but not enough to go through the amount of strawberries I bought. I am always trying to think about different breakfast items for the girls to eat, as […]

Monster Cookies

April 17, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

There are two kinds of people in this world: 1. People who like soft, delicious, chewy cookies, and 2. those who like crunchy cookies. I’m not going to say which is better, but there is obviously only one good kind of cookie. One of my favorite cookies is an oatmeal raisin. I know these are […]

Egg Yolk Ravioli

April 12, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’m not going to lie; I love an egg on just about anything. On a burger. On some pizza. On top of some toast with avocado (I’m such a millennial). On top of pasta. So.. why not inside of pasta. Growing up, I have always loved ravioli. It was always the dish I ordered when […]

Blood Orange Cake

April 9, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

I completely forgot that I had bought blood oranges to add to my watermelon radish salad.. good thing it was beautiful and didn’t need them. So, I had them hanging out in my fridge waiting to be used with no real purpose. My original thought would be to squeeze them and make a lovely blood […]

chickens: fondant ones

April 3, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Since I am a glutton for punishment, I decided to add to my schedule making dessert for Piper’s 3rd birthday. It just so happened that it coincided with the Easter party at their preschool as well, so I felt like the dessert needed an extra little flair. Over Christmas, I first began experimenting with fondant. […]
