Technically, these are called “beet pickled eggs” but it might be more accurate to call them “gently beet pickled eggs”. But they look great right? Look at those beautiful pink edges. I had inadvertently did not respond to the family text chain about what I was brining to Easter dinner. While I often ask others…
It feels like a lifetime since I wrote here – and nothing like a good seasonal baking event. Last year I made hot cross buns and I never like to make the same thing twice. I wasn’t sure how many ways you could mix up “hot cross buns” but I do know that you can…
I made funfetti cinnamon rolls… because I’m a giant adult. I was invited – or I invited myself, it’s hard to keep track – over to a neighbor’s house for dinner this weekend. They were already covering the pizza and salad – so I wasn’t sure what to bring. They have two adorable little girls…
I can’t even pretend that this is a meal I would have selected on my own. While I’m normally on board for trying almost any type of ingredient (I currently draw the line hard with sardines), cabbage just isn’t the type of thing I pick up – ever. Not for any good reason either. It…
Despite my love of grocery stores and cooking, there is something incredibly appealing about how meal delivery services package and send their meals. After getting about one million offers in the mail, I decided to try out Blue Apron recently. I was in a bit of a cooking lull and it was only $30. While…
Probably about 6 years ago, I made my first chicken tagine. I’ve always reflected positively on that meal. The flavors of a tagine are just incredible – and really all without my favorite sins of salt, butter, or cheese. I tore out this chicken tagine recipe from Real Simple relatively recently and got around to…
For like the last 10+ years I’ve made Irish Soda bread each year for St Patrick’s Day. I’ve really pared back the baking in recent years – but there were some years that I shipped out 8 or so loaves. This year I think I only have 4 loaves on my list – and one…
I think sometimes when people think of banana bread – they get this visions of a dense banana loaf with nuts. While that isn’t a terrible thing by any standard, it’s always nice to try something different. Let’s give banana bread a refresh. Maybe it’ll be the new scone? Probably not. I was home sick…
One of the best parts about living in the North End was being close to Haymarket. While the produce was not always amazing, being able to buy bargain priced vegetables was amazing – especially for soup. Appearance does not matter when you are putting blending that right up. Soup tends to be a really affordable…
I remember riding the train home one January night and seeing this tweet from my favorite weather man suggesting that February could be a very snowy month. Shortly after that it feels like it started snowing and barely stopped. It wasn’t quite like the winter of 2015 – but for the past two weeks it…
