Maple Pecan Scones

Apr 24, 2013 | By Melissa

Scones are pretty much my favorite breakfast food. So when my neighbor across the street had a baby and requested breakfast goodies instead of dinners, I knew immediately that scones were in her future! Lately I’ve been keen on trying things slightly off the beaten path…and getting away from all chocolate, all the time. So […]

Fudgy Brownie Buckeye Cookies

Apr 22, 2013 | By Melissa

Have you ever had a buckeye? A dense, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter ball dipped in chocolate? I must confess, I haven’t. Honestly, peanut butter desserts did not appeal to me as a kid, and I am only just now expanding my sweet palate beyond pure chocolate. Nevertheless, as I flipped through the beautiful pages of the […]

Frittata Primavera

Apr 18, 2013 | By Melissa

Recently, I’ve become pretty enamored with frittatas. With an attention-loving baby, it is definitely an advantage to have a quickie dinner in my arsenal! And frittatas are especially wonderful, since you can easily change up the vegetables and cheese. Variety is the spice of life. I originally made this recipe for a brunch with my […]

Orange Olive Oil Cake

Apr 15, 2013 | By Melissa

It’s Secret Recipe Club time again! I have wanted to try making olive oil cake ever since my mother first figured out that she was lactose intolerant. Plus, you know me: I like to throw myself into recipes that sound a little weird. So this month, when I was perusing A Spoonful of Thyme, this […]

Barley Risotto with Asparagus

Apr 11, 2013 | By Melissa

At last, at last! Asparagus is in season! Do you know how wonderful spring is to me? Don’t get me wrong…I have a somewhat masochistic enjoyment of the gloomy gray end of winter. But I am so excited to welcome back the most wonderful of all vegetables: asparagus. (Side note: Did you know that Germans […]

Curried Avocados with Mustard

Apr 09, 2013 | By Melissa

The first time I made this snack, it was out of slightly morbid curiosity. It was just so weird, and there was so much going on: avocados, chilis, curry, mustard, cilantro. I thought maybe this recipe couldn’t decide what direction it wanted to go in, so it just went for everything at once. Boy was […]

Tartar Sauce with Tilapia

Apr 05, 2013 | By Melissa

It’s Friday! Let’s make fish. Okay, so I admit that tartar sauce is not terribly sexy (the name alone is a little lip-curling). And this is not a fresh, new way to present fish. I wish I could tell you that I had a modern take on it, or that I’d found a way to […]

Spinach and Black Bean Enchiladas

Apr 03, 2013 | By Melissa

One of the unexpected perks of being a stay-at-home mom is getting to have near-weekly lunches with my foodie friend Sarah of Well Dined! Often when we get together, we view it as an opportunity to make something complicated (I think we like to show off for each other), or something our husbands would never […]
