Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays to cook for each year. I’m not quite sure why but I think it has something to do with the fact that tequila becomes a serious option as an ingredient… and I can’t say no to that. While I’ve always been intimidated by a theme party,…
I find it so comical that people don’t like to cook for themselves – and by themselves, I mean “cooking for one”. Some of my most favorite meals have been cooked in small batch style. Just me trolling the internet for an idea, roaming the grocery store, and then patiently waiting until the meal is…
I haven’t done as much cooking as I would expect recently… but this week I did make a beautiful BLT. I’ve loved BLT sandwiches since birth and truly believe they are the best sandwich. In honor of the sun returning to Boston with some degree of consistency this week, I imagined a great afternoon sitting…
My interest in making scones might be getting a little out of control – but I really won’t apologize for it. Scones are rising to the top of my list recently. It feels like you can put almost anything in them – which is why I like them so much. Kind of like the pizza,…
The winter is finally almost coming to a close but there is still a bit more time left for soup. Two years ago, it feels like all I did was make soup … and this year not so much. While I’ve been cooking a little bit more than the writing lets on, there has been…
A couple months ago, I was regularly crushing chocolate shakes every day. It was a pretty good routine. I would make them in the morning before work, toss them in the fridge, then savor them in the afternoon instead of a bag of Goldfish. Because of this, I started buying bananas… which I really don’t…
I never ever aspire to be a vegetarian. I don’t even think I could date a vegetarian. But, sometimes there are some really winning recipes out there specifically crafted to be just that… meatless. This is one of them. Vegetarian Shepherd Pie. I first made Shepherds Pie back in 2013. I was shocked at how…
Homemade granola is something to file under: “way too easy” and “never buy store version again”. I can almost guarantee that I won’t stick to that promise… but homemade granola is beyond easy. It is also super quick. I’m not sure why, but I had it in my head that making granola would be slightly…
It’s been about a lifetime since I wrote something up. While it’s been a busy couple of weeks, I honestly think part of the reason is that my computer is dying. Ugh. It’s hard to want to write things when sentences take twice as long to write… and not because I’m distracted. Either way, I’ll…
In the effort to get caught up previous recipes … here is another one. Almond Blueberry Scones. I made these on my first vacation day in December for some of the girls that I work with. See they were all still working hard, while I was wearing leggings and going to a spin class. I…
