Every so often I feel like a bit of a genius. Today was one of those days. My husband left with the kids to go visit his parents. I was left alone to finish cleaning up the house and get some work accomplished. (Raise your hand if that’s your favorite way to spend a Saturday […]
Taquitos with Chicken, Smoked Cheddar and Pepper Jelly
Last month I received a care package from TortillaLand. Have you ever tried their uncooked flour or corn tortillas? They are our very favorite. My kids were so excited to see the packages of their favorite tortillas and immediately started making their requests. We usually make corn and flour quesadillas more than anything else because […]
Eggplant, Chard and Tomato Quinoa Gratin
Yesterday was so lovely. I spent the day catching up on a few things around the house and cooking up a storm. I received my CSA share on Friday afternoon and it’s probably my favorite share yet. It kind of bridges the grey area between summer and fall veggies. There were plenty of root veggies […]
Fig Brown Butter Frangipane Tart
So this Fig Brown Butter Frangipane Tart. It’s pretty much amazing. I fell head over heels for figs this year. I like them in salads. I like them made into jam and served with cheese…and with prosciutto. I like them in desserts. I just finally decided that I really, really like them. And now I’m […]
Peach Streusel Pie
I made this Peach Streusel Pie yesterday morning as I was listening to Emily Barker and dreaming of autumn on the East Coast. I got a taste of it when I was out there a few weeks ago. (Has it already been that long?!) My first autumn in New York was magical and folk music […]

I’ve partnered with Shirley J again. I’m excited to share a gluten-free recipe for Almond Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Mushroom Leek Sauce with you. It was a huge hit with my family. The sauce is made from Gluten-Free Whisk Bliss. One of the things that can be challenging when you’re gluten-free is modifying […]
Caramel Peach Ice Cream
Yes. I went there. Believe me when I say that Caramel Peach Ice Cream is definitely where you want to go. Pinky swear. It kinda started when we bought our first pint of the best sea salt caramel gelato we’ve ever tasted. Now you might be tired of seeing salted caramel this and that and […]
Beecher’s Raw Milk Flagship Cheese
Some people bring back t-shirts or key chains as souvenirs. In our family, it’s food – usually in the form of cheese. When I visited Seattle in August, I made sure to visit Beecher’s Handmade Cheese at Pike Place. It was very crowded that afternoon, so we just tasted a few cheeses and scooted out […]

Chewy Spice Cookies
I was in the mood for baking the other day, so I pulled out all of my baking ingredients and placed them on the counter. I wasn’t sure which direction I would go. I just felt like making cookies. The weather was cool outside. It was cloudy and raining. I could feel myself yearning for […]
