French Onion and Portobello Soup with Melted Gruyere Baguette Slices
Stay warm fellow east coasters! We’re cozy in front of the warm, crackling fire while the aroma of this soup meanders through our home. A hearty and comforting hot dish with a glass of pinot noir for dinner is just what this snowstorm requires. We’ll be popping some popcorn and finishing the evening with the highly appropriate feature [...]
Sausage and Peppers
Avert your eyes, fellow vegetarians. I’m making sausage and peppers in the name of love. It’s my husband’s most favorite meal…ever. I know most vegetarians are vocal in their opinions and will often have meat free homes. Not me. I like to let people do whatever makes them happy and this dish makes my family [...]
Vegan Sloppy Joes: Slow Cooker Special
Apparently, when I hear the words, “Super Bowl” and “slow cooker” my mind explodes into brainstorming fireworks. I love slow cooker recipes, so when given the opportunity to flex my slow cooker muscles as part of wayfair’s Super Bowl Snack Off, I only had one problem. Which favorite recipe of mine would I submit? It was [...]
Roasted Jalapeño Cream Cheese Bites
It’s the coldest it has been here in over two years. Also, Superbowl season is upon us. What does all of this add up to? Hot and spicy bite-sized game day food, of course! I need a lot of flavor when it gets this cold out and football just compliments that fact beautifully, making it that much easier [...]
Hot Curried Carrot “Getting Better” Soup
This weekend I experienced an atrocious illness plagued upon us. I don’t know what it was. Maybe the flu? Whatever it was, this thing, (we’ll call it “the beast”) managed to infiltrate our home and demolish every one of us, one by one, for several days each, before we were able to return to a mediocre level of normalcy [...]
Crimson Crepes Fines Sucree
I tend to hibernate during this time of year. Not in the sleeping sense; But, rather in the “I don’t want to go anywhere because it’s cold and snowing and everyone’s sneezing and coughing all over the place” sense. I prefer to take care of my sick kids and husband, (they’re always sick [...]
Mini Quiches
My boys won’t eat quiche. I’m not sure if the problem is in the name alone or that they don’t like anything made with visible eggs, but either way, there’s more for me I’m ok with that. This mini quiche recipe makes five (yes, only five and exactly five) mini vegetarian crustless quiches packed with golden melted onions, baby broccoli [...]
Momma’s Boozy Christmas Rum Cake
We’re still rolling on Christmas enthusiasm here since there’s plenty to go around. The kids and my mom are trashing the house and playing, as new and awesome gear tends to call upon one to do just that. Yeah, we made out pretty well; Particularly the kids who received just about everything they could have possibly asked for, [...]
Chocolate Orange Pie (Basics IV: Orange Curd + Graham Cracker Crust)
Aside from the word “curd” grating my senses on every level, I find the topic one of importance for my basics series. Yes, that’s right I said curd. Curd is the word that sounds gross, but is not. It’s actually quite awesome and tasty when you think about it, and though it might need a new name, it [...]
Pie Crust: Basics III
If there’s a massive frozen turkey sitting in your freezer and you plan to cook it for Thanksgiving, you should probably go ahead and start thawing. I also recommend brining it in a flavored, non-acidic salt solution. I don’t claim expertise in the meat department, of course, but I do know that a bloated turkey will [...]
