Despite having a rhubarb plant in my backyard growing up, I had never eaten rhubarb as the star ingredient in a recipe until this cake! Every time rhubarb season arose, my mom would cut our rhubarb and then pick (or buy) strawberries to make her pie, tart, or jam recipe. I certainly didn’t understand the … More Rhubarb Breakfast Cake
Andrew and I were laying in bed the other day trying to figure out what to have for breakfast. It was a Sunday, and we have a version of these pancakes almost every week, but we were in the mood for something new and different. We talked about different types of bread and scones when all … More ‘Everything Bagel’ Biscuits
Like many of you (I’m assuming), I have a list of “to make” recipes that’s about a mile long at any given time. The list spans from appetizers to desserts and full dinners to cocktails, and the range of healthy to unhealthy is fully covered. When it comes time to decide what to tackle next, … More Savory Bacon Gruyere Monkey Bread
In the very hottest days of summer, as much as I love chocolate desserts, I’m usually craving something a bit lighter. Also considering my wedding is about 9 weeks away (AHHHHH!!!!) I’ve been trying to make healthier desserts that don’t leave me feeling deprived. These lemon poppyseed baked donuts are almost as good as the … More Lemon Poppyseed Baked Donuts
I’m one of those people that just can’t get into the non-dairy milk options. Almond milk is just okay (not creamy enough!), and don’t even get me started on coconut milk (why does it taste so weird?). But then, a few Fridays ago, I found my answer: cashew milk! The cafe I was visiting boasted … More Super Simple Homemade Cashew Milk
During a recent vacation in Thailand and Myanmar (i.e. Burma) with my fiancé and two of our best friends, we ate a ton of noodles. We definitely had noodles at LEAST once a day if not more. For instance this delicious Pad See Ew: Like this pad see ew, a lot of Thai noodle dishes we had are those … More Burmese Coconut & Chicken Noodle Soup (Ohno Kawkswe)
I basically refuse to stop using summer produce until it’s officially fall, which means I have approximately two weeks to put peaches and berries into literally everything I make. Peaches have always been my favorite fruit, and I’m basically obsessed with this peach upside-down cake. It can be served as-is for a breakfast or brunch … More Peach Upside Down Cake
We’re caffeine spoiled, I can admit it. When it comes to coffee and tea, Andrew and I have a Keurig, 3 french presses, a Toddy cold brew, a regular coffee pot and a number of different tea makers. We also have 8 or 9 coffee/tea shops within walking distance, in case any of the above just … More Vanilla Mint Cold Brew
I apologize for coming into the new year filled with butter and cheese, but while everyone else is posting salads and smoothies…it’s not the worst to stand out from the crowd! I’ve had this quiche on my ‘to-make’ list for a couple of years, and while I was with my family over the holidays, it was … More Cheddar Bacon Quiche with Hash Brown Crust
So, early last week my blog turned one! I meant to do a whole post about everything I’ve learned and a recap of my favorite posts over the year…but here we are today 🙂 Instead of boring you with how many followers I have (not a lot) and how many posts I’ve written (same), I … More Maple Oatmeal Scones
Fall weather has arrived in New England! I’m sure within the next 5-7 days we will be into winter weather, so I’m soaking up as much fall as I possibly can in the meantime! I’m doing everything fall-related over the next couple weeks: eating apple cider donuts, picking out pumpkins, drinking autumnal beers, and wearing … More Apple Crumb Muffins
One of mine and Andrew’s go-to weeknight meals is burritos. Basically, whatever vegetables and protein can be sautéed and stuffed into a carb-y pocket is good with us. However, a couple years ago, in an effort to not eat a 300 calorie refined white flour bomb, I began a search for something healthier. These lavash wraps … More Breakfast Pizza
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I took a few days off to enjoy a family vacation down in Charlotte 😀 We had lots of good food, laughs, a white water rafting adventure, and more… Not to mention a short respite from the never ending New England winter! Now I’m back, bearing gifts of bacon, ricotta, and … More Caramelized Onion and Bacon Tart
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
Crunchy Salty Sweet
