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…
Despite being January, there has been essentially zero snow in Boston this year. By this time last year I had gone cross-country skiing at least 3 times. This year = zero. But tonight… it is snowing … even if just for a few hours. Whenever it snows, you should almost always eat baked cheese and…
A few weeks ago I spent the weekend at my parents house. While the original purpose was to make sure that my brother ate all of his meals and walk Ruby May … it ended up also being filled with tons of time in front of the tree. The tree is in very close proximity…
I’ve been wanting to make raviolis for quite a long time. I first attempted them back in 2010 from scratch… without pretty much any kitchen equipment. It didn’t go terribly but it also wasn’t a raging success. Ever since then, the closest I’ve gotten to fresh pasta was making gnocchi. Given that I haven’t acquired…
