With Easter coming up, I wanted to share a couple recipes this week that would be perfect for an Easter brunch! I pretty much love lemon poppyseed anything, and these are no exception. The muffins are fairly dense, reminiscent of a pound cake, and the tart lemon glaze on top finishes them off just right. … More Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
With Easter on the horizon, I’ve been doing my best to ignore the taunting colorful bags of candy seemingly everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely destroy a Nutrageous or Snickers, but in an effort to control ingredient quality and enjoy something a TAD healthier, I bring you these almond butter cups. Most people … More Almond Butter Cups With Sea Salt
It’s no secret that I love pizza, and while I usually make it a few times a month, I realized that I hadn’t rolled out a pizza dough in waayy too long. One of Andrew and my favorite toppings is ricotta cheese. It adds the perfect creaminess that mozzarella just can’t provide. Combine that with a whole … More Sausage and Ricotta Pizza
Apparently it’s peanut butter week here on the blog, and I can’t say I’m mad. I’ve been leaning heavily on Asian flavors recently (pretty much since discovering sesame oil), and one of the things frequently in the rotation is this peanut sauce. Peanut butter is good on anything, savory or sweet, but I especially love this … More Easy Peanut Sauce
It all started so innocently. I was on the hunt for the perfectly chewy/crunchy/soft peanut butter cookie. The result of all this ‘research’ was WAY too many cookies at my disposal. So, it really was only a matter of time before ice cream made it’s way into the picture. Now, most people will think that this recipe … More Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
On the weekends, when I have no where to be, and am not rushing to consume something as quickly as possible, you can pretty much count on me making some sort of hash. Some days it’s as simple as sautéing up some diced potatoes (ok, technically that could be considered home fries…), other days I throw … More Sweet Potato Hash
When it comes to weekday mornings, I definitely struggle to keep things exciting. Nine times out of ten, I’ll make a smoothie or just grab a protein bar and call it a day while I’m running to the car 10 minutes behind schedule. However, in an effort to get a little more variety into my … More Nutty Vanilla Granola
Scones, or triangular biscuits, are one of the things that I make all the time. You need very few ingredients to put them together (usually items found in the pantry and fridge), you can go sweet or savory, and you really can’t mess them up. For this version, I combine frozen strawberries with white chocolate chips, … More Strawberries and Cream Scones
Risotto is one of those dishes that I think most people can get behind. It is rich and creamy, and there are a ton of variations. It goes really well with seafood, poultry, or red meat, and it is easily made vegetarian (I shared my pumpkin and goat cheese risotto recipe last fall) without compromising any flavor. … More Spring Risotto with Seared Tuna
