I’m not sure when I became a fan of gingersnaps, but it most certainly hasn’t been my entire life. So, any time I have the opportunity to try a ginger cookie…. I will. My default favorite are the Trader Joes version. They are delightfully small but have chunks of ginger in them. So what makes…
Cold weather immediately calls for chili. I like chili for the meat and the comforting meal. I’m not in it for the spice or heat. I am however completely in it for the shredded cheese. It’s like the “make your own sundae” of soups. I did a sweet potato and kale soup at some point…
It’s soup season! My life is a little different these days so I don’t necessarily need “travel friendly” meals like soup as much – but it is just so hard to fight the urge to make soup. When people say they don’t like cooking for just one person, I feel like they haven’t tried soup…
At some point before Thanksgiving I discovered the “Great British Baking Show” on Netflix… and since then I haven’t really looked back. I like it so much that I won’t watch it as I’m falling asleep because I need to pay attention to who is star baker and who doesn’t quite measure up each week. …
I haven’t been cooking nearly as much in recent months so when I saw my friend Becca was coordinating a cookie swap…. I signed up fast. I needed a push to experiment… and what better than to try and impress strangers via the mail. This recipe is a combination of two forces. One? I did…

It really feels like a lifetime since I did a recipe post – but here we are … and I have one. Actually I have several but here is just the one I can write up right now. This recipe also comes with me admitting something. I might like Oreos. I’m always a proponent of…
I am by no means striving to be a vegetarian. But, i guess this qualifies as a vegetarian meal – and i didn’t hate it. i actually liked it. On Sunday morning I was getting ready to make my grocery store list for the week. I popped over to Food52 to see if there was…
The weather today screamed for soup – and so I made ramen. Saturday was a completely gorgeous day. I checked out two trails, had a turkey sandwich picnic, and cleaned out the garden. Home run of a day. But today I woke up to gross sleet hitting the windows followed by copious amounts of rain. …
I was headed to the grocery store this weekend rather casually and figured I should grab something for dinner. In an effort to prevent a lot of aisle wandering and salty snack purchases, I grabbed a sticky note to make a list. And in that minute I dreamed up this recipe for a seared fish…
