Air Fried Apple Stacks with Maple Almond Butter
Do you have more apples than you know what to do with because you’ve spent all your autumn weekends apple picking? That sounds nice, but honestly I can’t relate. I’ve never been a big orchard fruit picker unless we’re talking about picking up fruit from a farmer’s market or a grocery store. In that case, […]
Pumpkin Pie Popsicles
We’ve reached that time of year where we’re beyond Labor Day, so summer is unofficially over and we just want to be knee deep into pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING, but maybe it’s still 90 degrees outside so a PSL or pumpkin muffin maybe isn’t as appealing as it will be come October. I don’t know where […]
Chocolate Covered Cherry Popsicles
It’s a very rare occasion where I actually have enough room in my freezer for my Popsicle mold. I purchased the mold like three years ago and the first time I made Popsicles was last week. So by “rare occasion” I guess what I really mean is “almost never.” I’ve just had so much meat […]
Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
Until about three years ago I loathed zucchini in baked goods. Growing up my grandfather had an enormous garden and he grew all kinds of vegetables, zucchini included. My grandmother always used to make baked goods with zucchini in them all summer long, and it really infuriated my 7 year old self. I still ate […]
Air Fried Pickles
I swear I’m not trying to be the bearer of bad news here, really I’m not, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that we’re NOT going to have a fair season this year. Thanks so much, coronavirus. You’re a real doll. I just heard that L.A. County extended their stay-at-home orders for another three months. If […]
Strawberry Pancakes
Happy Valentine’s Day out there! If you happen to be a breakfast and brunch kind of person, this is the treat for you! If I didn’t have to work all day on Valentine’s Day I would be making these for Mike and I for sure. Maybe I’ll make them this weekend! We’re still finalizing our […]
Sweet and Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Mike and I live about halfway between Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA which puts us a short commute away from a lot of fantastic restaurants. Our first date was at a small family owned Mexican restaurant called Bueno y Sano. My favorite BBQ restaurant in the whole world is in Springfield at a restaurant called […]
Coconut Almond Clusters
Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe the day that so many people look forward to all year long (myself included) is finally here. A few weeks back I talked about how it didn’t really feel like Christmas yet. Well, it STILL doesn’t feel like Christmas to me! If it doesn’t feel like Christmas today, I’m […]
Peppermint Cookie Bark
Any kind of chocolate bark is a favorite of mine during the holiday season. As a bonus, it’s super simple to make and it’s a great thing to make with kids. It’s great for holiday bake sales and it would make a thoughtful teacher’s gift as well. So here is my spin on peppermint bark! […]
Roasted Sweet Potato Soup
Am I nuts for asking you to roast some sweet potatoes and then add them to a soup, instead of simply cooking the potatoes right in the broth? Maybe. I guess you’ll just have to trust me when I tell you that by roasting the sweet potatoes instead of simply boiling them in broth, the […]
