Let’s talk about really easy, elegant appetizers. Appetizers that look like they took a lot of work, but in fact, took you about 5 minutes. Appetizers that are amazing and yummy and full of butter and cheese. Like appetizers should be. Because it’s appetizer season! (Around our house, we readily agree that the only reason […]
It’s a snow day, so you know what’s on the menu at my house: grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s the perfect comfort food! I have so many memories of eating this meal as a child, especially after traipsing around in the snow on a winter day. My mother would stand at the stove and […]
This chili is stupendous. It really is. And I absolutely love that it’s basically a complete meal in a bowl! It’s got whole grains, protein, veggies, flavor for miles… I’m not going to go on and on about it, because you should really just grab some pots and spoons and make it!
This pregnancy has definitely done something to my taste buds. For weeks I cringed at the thought of an egg (used to be one of my favorite foods). I suddenly find myself interested in eating Chinese food (one of Dave’s favorite things), and I have discovered a love of potatoes! I have held a grudge […]
I know I was right in the middle of sharing the saga of making a wedding cake…but then I remembered what time of year it is. That’s right. Thanksgiving is coming. And during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, I like to focus on delicious side dishes and breads and pies…because let’s face it: vegetarians […]
As a vegetarian, I often miss out on foods that other people rave about. Sometimes there is an easy substitution, like a delicious veggie burger. But sometimes, as with pot pies, I more often find that vegetarian versions are disappointing or weird than satisfying and comforting. No doubt, to turn a meaty classic into a […]
The weather is finally cool. Every time I look out the window, I can see a light drizzle of leaves falling from the maple in my front yard. It’s FALL!! Which, of course, means it’s finally time for heartier, creamier food. It’s time for mac and cheese. And what could be better than topping our […]
Sarah and I have been making lunches together for quite some time. And yet…we hardly ever make sandwiches. A classic lunch food, completely ignored! I completely love sandwiches (what’s not to love about food layered between slices of bread?) and yet, I struggle to feel at all original or creative when it comes to making […]
Are you overwhelmed with tomatoes yet? Overflowing with bell peppers? I really prefer to eat the bounty of summer produce I have been bringing in from my tiny garden and the farmer’s market raw. In their most honest and nutritious and juiciest form. But really…how many tomato sandwiches can one girl eat? (In case you […]
I am not going to wax poetic today about beautiful cherry tomatoes or caramelized onions or intensely cheesy biscuits. I am just going to tell you to go make this tomato cobbler immediately. Very hearty. Very flavorful. Very simple. Go!
