I’m not a huge mustard fan. Like, if I’m listing off foods that I won’t eat it immediately starts with shrimp and then probably shortly there after I’ll say mustard. That being said, there have been several cases when mustard and I are “fine”. Places mustard is not okay? Hot dogs, sandwiches and pretzels. I…
I think I tend to make quinoa cakes like once or twice a year – and normally when I feel like I need to pull myself together and get back to square one. Square one being actual meals… and not sourdough toast. Don’t get me wrong toast is amazing – but there are no real…
Sometimes, I write up recipes because they are an amazing success. I practically sprint to the computer and do it that same night. I’m so excited to write it all up. Other times, I’m writing up a moderate win pretty much to make sure I do better the next time. This is one of the…
I was listening to a podcast yesterday and the person being interviewed was talking about the importance of understanding what goes into all your food. Now, I’ll admit that my diet in the last couple months hasn’t deserved any blue ribbon awards. But – when I was standing in my kitchen last night opening and…
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…
