delicious seasonal eats
One of my favorite new-to-me food trends this year has been cauliflower rice or couscous. I am 100% a fan. I started making this Moroccan Spiced Cauliflower Couscous in the summer and I haven’t stopped! We LOVE it. Like a whole bunch. Each time I give it a new little twist depending on what I […]
Some kids (my kids) request pizza for their birthday dinners, but not me! I requested sloppy joes. I’m not sure what it was about sloppy joes that I loved so much. We always ate them on buns with a thick sliced of cheddar and squirt of ketchup on top, and a side of oven-baked tater tots. Favorite […]
Ding, ding, ding! I think we have a winner! A few weeks ago, I received a whopping 5 pounds of Peter’s Caramel in the mail from Gygi. When that much caramel is staring you down, the problem isn’t what to make with it; it’s what not to make with it. After we carved off more than […]
Fall is just flying by. How is it already nearly the end of the month?! Our new place has so many windows and our yard and our neighbors’ yards have so many trees. I’m sitting in my office now admiring the different fall colors I see out my window. As much as I love warm […]
When I was growing up, we had this step-by-step cookbook that I loved to look at. By the time I was 8 or 9 years old, I was teaching myself how to cook. I was an avid reader anyway, and cookbooks were as intriguing to me as The Baby-Sitters Club series. I devoured both as […]
I’m just going to say this: I am so proud of this pear streusel pie. I know it’s only the middle of October, but you guys, I’m already planning my Thanksgiving menu and this is on it! I love Halloween, but Thanksgiving is like the marathon I’ve been training for all year long. I’m lacing […]
Fajitas have long been a favorite dinner of mine. My mom used to make them several times a year when I was growing up and we always looked forward to Fajita Night. There’s just something wonderful about the sizzling hot filling rolled into a soft tortilla with an array of favorite toppings. It had been […]
October is my favorite month. I know I’m not alone in that sentiment – what’s not to love? Gorgeous fall colors, beautiful weather, and a bountiful harvest. It doesn’t get any better! I spent last week in The Bay Area (more on that later!) and really enjoyed experiencing a week of California-style October weather and […]
I know it seems kind of silly now, but for a while I was a little embarrassed to admit how much I like applesauce. I would “buy it for my kids” or make it from scratch on occasion, but it was always “for my kids.” Then it dawned on me that it was really a […]
Yep. It’s October, but I’m squeezing in one more peach recipe before they are gone for the year. As quickly as peach season arrives, it also ends. Sad, sad, sad. I was horribly disappointed to find the local farm I have been visiting sold out of my favorite variety of peaches within just a few […]
