Herb Butter

Nov 28, 2013 | By Melissa

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are enjoying (or soon will be) time with family and friends this Thanksgiving! For my part, we are in California with my husband’s extended family—and 35 people will be sitting down to share dinner this evening! As you may imagine, I’ve been a little bit caught up in the frenzy […]

Scalloped Potatoes

Nov 23, 2013 | By Melissa

So I have dreams of hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I love the idea of making the big meal, setting a long table, and decorating the house with festive and funky Fall items.

Mini Kale Soufflés

Nov 08, 2013 | By Melissa

Sometimes I get silly ideas. Like…let’s take this extra bag of kale greens I bought and turn it into soufflé. Easy peasy. I had never actually made soufflé before. Like any sensible person, I had a deep and abiding fear of soufflé. But then I figured that savory soufflé would be easier than the dreaded […]

Harvest Pumpkin Soup

Nov 06, 2013 | By Melissa

When I stepped outside this morning it was cold. Like…really cold. And it smelled like snow! So I made you some soup. (By the way, this soup would be awesome for Thanksgiving. Cuz yeah, it’s that time of year already! And what the heck, make a pumpkin bowl! Use it as a vegetarian centerpiece. How […]
