I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to guilty pleasure food I am ALL about french fries. Specifically, McDonald’s french fries…but let’s not tease ourselves. Obviously fries are one of those things you ‘should have sparingly’, so I’ve done a bunch of research to figure out how to make delicious fries at … More Crispy Seasoned French Fries
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
When it comes to making biscuits, there are a million tips and tricks out there promising to give you the flakiest and lightest results. After making many, many biscuits, following a variety of these tips, I’ve found the three essentials things that make the perfect biscuit: 1. Cold butter – this is crucial to getting … More Buttermilk Biscuits
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
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
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
I’m aiming to bring you 3 delicious sweet treats this week in honor of the sweetest holiday of them all (quickly approaching!). Valentine’s day treats often come in the form of chocolate, as will the other treats I post later this week, but for my first nod to V-Day, I bring you bread. This isn’t … More Brown Butter and Cranberry Studded Bread
In an effort to recover from the delectably cheesy situation I forced you all to see earlier this week, today I come in peace, with this healthy take on banana bread (with just a teeny smear of butter…) Since Andrew and I drink a ton of smoothies, we always have bananas around. I despise bananas … More Healthier Banana Bread
I’m sorry. I know I’m supposed to be posting green smoothies and vegetable-heavy salads, but after making these game-changing waffles, it would be wrong for me not to share with you. As I mentioned in my pancake post I’m definitely a savory breakfast girl. Andrew and I got a waffle maker last year, and ever since … More Savory Cheesy Cheddar Waffles
When I think about what my dream Saturday breakfast or brunch would look like, 95% of my thoughts immediately head in the direction of savory and salty things like bacon, eggs, hash browns, and anything cheesy. However, every once in awhile, I’ll catch myself off-gaurd and crave fluffy, delicious pancakes. Usually, for me, pancakes just don’t satisfy my … More Banana Protein Pancakes
