Chocolate Cookie Bomb Sundaes
Around this time last year, I attempted to make hot chocolate bombs from scratch because I thought it would be a piece of cake and I would save myself a ton of money by making them myself. Have you finished laughing at me yet? I don’t think my kitchen has ever humbled me any faster […]
Ode to the Ugly Kitchen
It was a gloomy, overcast November day when we knew officially that Mike would be moving back to Connecticut from his year spent working and living in the suburbs of Boston. At that point I had already scoped out several potential apartments for us to look at together, and we hopped right to it. We […]
Orange Creamsicle Smoothies
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate citrus season? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that citrus fruit is the best part of winter. There’s nothing quite like biting into a sweet, juicy orange to really brighten up those cold, drab, dreary winter days. Right? Right. I’ve been […]
Red Potato Pizza Soup
That’s right, I’m back! I’m thinking maybe at least one of you noticed that I took a little hiatus from my food blog at the tail end of 2021. Starting in October our lives got a little crazy around here. First up, we took a road trip around about half of the country. We’re in […]
Overnight Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie
When I made this recipe for the first time a few weeks back, I made Mike taste it and he immediately asked me if I could just make a big vat of this every single week for him. So, this smoothie recipe is a good one in case you needed me to interpret Mike speak […]
Zuppa Toscana
Have you shifted into soup mode yet? I’ll be honest, I could eat soup year round and be totally pleased about it. It’s mostly because my office is kept to a balmy 55 degrees or so (I’m joking but I feel like I’m not far off with this guess either) during the summer months, so […]
Iced Pumpkin Spice Lattes
October starts tomorrow so WELCOME TO PUMPKIN SEASON BABY. Ehhhh who am I kidding, every day of the year is pumpkin season in my heart, mind, and belly. Now, don’t get upset that this is a recipe for lattes but there is absolutely no coffee anywhere in sight. It’s no mistake. But I detest coffee […]
Classic Slow Cooker Beef Stew
A few months back I was SO excited when I got some stew meat in my ButcherBox. Things like beef stew, pot roast, and traditional cheeseburgers were all foods that I did NOT grow up eating. I’m not sure if you remember or not, but in the 1990’s there was a huge marketing campaign against […]
Taco Stuffed Pepper Chips with Nacho Cheese
The September challenge for Blendtec ambassadors is dips, sauces, and salsas. I know you don’t care, but I do, and this month’s challenge is where the inspiration for this recipe came from! So thank you, Blendtec, for being amazing as usual. Something I didn’t know until I made this recipe is how perfect the “batter” […]
Pumpkin Muffins
You know all those fall recipes that call for some pumpkin puree, but you don’t need the entire can of pumpkin puree, so you put the rest into a glass container in the fridge and then you wonder what the heck to do with it? I’m here to help. I had some pumpkin leftover after […]
