If my husband hadn’t already proposed to me 10 years ago (I said yes), he probably would have proposed on the spot after eating this burger. For reals. This is that kind of burger, friends. We’ll be celebrating Independence Day in the U.S. next week and I bet if you put this on your menu […]
Beef and Root Vegetable Stew with Best Ever Mashed Potatoes
I tend to write a lot about my husband on here. I can’t help it. He’s such a part of the magic that happens in the kitchen. When we started dating, I was just learning how to really cook and appreciate good food. He’d grown up eating foods I’d never heard of or would have […]

Gorgonzola Stuffed Meatloaf
This recipe for Gorgonzola-Stuffed Meatloaf is a good one! We love meatloaf around our house. I think there needs to be a meatloaf comeback of sorts. I grew up loving meatloaf and therefore make it very often for my own family. A lot the time I hear groans from friends and family members who do not […]
