“Spaghetti” doesn’t happen often around here and every time I make this recipe for Quick Bolognese Sauce I ask myself why. Its like one of those basic recipes that I forget to come back to. But just yesterday, as the leaves began to fall a bit, I took a break from grilling and salads and lightness galore and ended up with this pot of gold on my stove. Continue reading
So you may remember this mess of an experience I had trying to create a solid “crumble” recipe. It failed. And that was most definitely not my first and last attempt at getting it right.
But finally, I am satisfied. I surrender to the fruit crumble madness that has taken over my home. Which is, likely, a good thing. My children aren’t too thrilled about it, but any more taste testing of these different recipes and chances are they’d turn into walking, crumbly, fruit humans. Continue reading
So there’s delicious. And then there’s these. Beyond delicious. Indescribably delicious. So delicious you’ll make them for your kids and fight them for the last one. So please, those of you without wee ones, make these. Make them all for yourself. Eat them all to yourself. And think of me. Continue reading
If you are a fan of the Larabar you’re going to love these. After years of buying them I decided to try to make them myself. The ingredient list on the bars is so minimal I knew it had to be a simple task; I just couldn’t fathom spending the money on those things. A couple years ago I began trying different quantities and I think Ive got the perfect combination down. I prefer to roll them into balls because its so much more simple than cutting them into solid bars without crumbling. You’ll almost always find these in our fridge as they are such an easy, quick bite to grab on your way out the door. And they suffice wonderfully for a sweet fix, too. Continue reading
Alright, friends. We are going to have a little chat. Are you comfy with your grill? Do you use it? I have talked to so many of you lately that are intimidated by the grill and my current mission in life is to make that go away as quickly as possible. Please, all I ask is for you to learn how to start up your grill. Thats it. Thats all you need.
Grilling is a giant time saver for me during these warmer months. You throw your food on for a super quick sear and really, thats it. Starting your grill is the most difficult part and once you have that figured out you’re left with nothing but charred, smokey, fresh flavor for the rest of the season. Think of it as cooking on your stove with a cast iron skillet or really hot pan. Only outside. Can you beat that? I think not. Continue reading
This rice could basically serve as breakfast, dessert or dinner. It’s rich and sweet with a hint of savory…I can’t tell you how well I devour this stuff. Serve it for breakfast instead of oatmeal. Or throw a little ground cinnamon and a tad maple syrup right on top for a healthy, hearty dessert. But for dinner? Aye yaye yaye. It’s the perfect compliment to any meat or veggies from the grill. Mix the smoky grilled taste with this sweet, creamy side and its a match made in heaven. Continue reading
This is an absolute must for your Sunday meal repertoire. Ina Garten is a complete go-to for me when I need a solid recipe that is no fail. She never disappoints. This is a version of her roasted chicken. I simply add extra veggies to make this a one-pan meal and it comes out positively perfect. Every. Single. Time. The roasted veggies get caramelized and incredibly flavorful. My belly would be in heaven just eating the slightly crispy onions alone. And the chicken? Well. Theres a good chance you may never purchase a store-prepared chicken ever again. Continue reading
Dare I say it, friends? It is nearing that time of year again. School is about to begin which means less time for preparing meals or, for some families, even enjoying meals together. School, activities, work and everything in between all come together to form one big blob of chaos, for most. I’ve had quite a few requests for crock pot recipes to help ease into the chaotic evenings and this pulled pork is a total winner. Continue reading
