Leeks 101 and A Leek-Goat Cheese Tart
I promise I’m almost done posting recipes with goat cheese in them. I just love Chevre too much, that’s my problem. And as you’ve seen, we have been eating a lot of it lately. We also love leeks. My husband requested a savory tart and I knew that leeks and goat cheese were the way […]
Avocado, Grapefruit and Goat Cheese Salad
We’ve been eating a lot of salad the past few weeks. I just can’t get enough! I recently bought a few grapefruits and wanted to put it in a salad. They were so bright and juicy, and sweet. Citrus and avocado in a salad is a classic pairing. Yet, my husband was a little skeptical… […]
Crustless Potato and Ham Quiche
My husband really loved this “quiche”. I made it up as I went according to what I had in the fridge. Certainly you could substitute any ingredients you like or have on hand. Just make sure to use half-and-half or cream, or the quiche won’t be as custardy. We ate it with a loaf of […]

Spicy Baked Zucchini Wedges
I made this recipe for Spicy Baked Zucchini Wedges up as I went along and they turned out great! Like most of my recipes, there is a lot of room for interpretation and experimenting. I made these with Mexican spices – ancho chili powder, adobo seasoning, and ground chipotle. That chipotle makes them extra spicy! You could […]
Kitchen Q&A: Glazed Lemon Cookies
A reader question came up regarding the recipe for Glazed Lemon Cookies. “Can you make the cookies without a food processor?” YES!!! And I do apologize that I neglect to add alternate directions for some of the recipes. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t have a food processor myself and I felt slightly […]
Have You Tried: Cultured Butter
I didn’t even know what cultured butter was exactly until I was watching my boyfriend, Andreas Viestad make some on an episode of New Scandinavian Cooking a few years ago. (I LOVE THAT SHOW.) Here’s the skinny on the butter– Lactic bacteria is added to the cream and then the thickened cream is churned into […]
Peanut Butter Torte
I don’t think I really need to say anything about this Peanut Butter Torte. The picture above should speak for itself. Okay, but this is me. Of course I have something to say! I love peanut butter and chocolate. I haven’t met very many people who don’t. Hard for me to imagine! I took this to […]
Frozen Lemon Mascarpone Cheesecake
Hmm…what do you do when your friend is moving and gives you a bag of lemons from her fridge, and you happen to have a tub of mascarpone that’s about to expire? You make a cheesecake, of course. That is, if you also happen to have a pint of heavy cream and a bar of […]
Craving: Trader Joe’s Graham Crackers
Mama likes her snacks. (Especially pregnant Mama.) And when I was at my favorite place in the entire world (besides my bed), I couldn’t help myself. I bought a snack just for me. I never do this because I’m trying to keep my weight gain in check, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. They don’t always […]
