Nine times out of ten on my weekly grocery runs, I consistently grab the same veggies. You can almost always find: spinach, broccoli, and brussels sprouts in my cart. Last week, we started getting some warmer weather in new england, and the thought of turning on the oven and roasting veggies was NOT an idea … More Shredded Brussels Sprout and Lentil Salad
When it comes to cocktails, there are only a few things I look for: gin or vodka, citrus, and herbs. Whether its a greyhound, a g&t, or a gimlet, I’m a happy girl. When I was in Myanmar, we visited The Strand hotel, which is basically the only place in the country where anything is … More Gin Basil Smash Cocktail
After coming back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Thailand and Myanmar, Andrew and I have found ourselves being much more adventurous in terms of flavors and ingredients that we cook with. Since eating so much good food across the globe, I realized that despite some differences, we all essentially like and eat … More Baby Bok Choy & Rice Noodle Bowls (with Teriyaki Steak Tips)
When this post is published, I will be en-route to enjoying 15 days of sunshine and lots of delicious food in Thailand and Myanmar. Andrew and I have a habit of taking vacations during the Super Bowl, so it’s usually, on at a very random time of day (in this case, 6:30am!!) and we’re typically … More Coconut Mojitos
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’ve been having a serious heatwave in New England (I think the whole northeast has, actually), and the last thing Andrew and I want to do in the 90+ degree heat is turn on the oven. We finally visited a local farmer’s market last weekend (after talking about doing it basically all summer…), and found … More Heirloom Tomato and Corn Salad
Rule #1 of summertime desserts: must include fruit…preferably berries. Obviously this rule is completely optional and not really a rule at all, but this recipe is so delicious you should just go with it. I was definitely intimidated by lemon curd, since I’d never made it before. But, once again, I found myself with a ton … More Blueberry Lemon Curd Shortbread Bars
Last summer, I helped recipe test for a local blogger, writer, curator, food gift maker, Maggie Battista (she is the brains behind Eat Boutique). Her cookbook, Food Gift Love, which was released last fall, focuses on giftable foods and drinks. She provides simple recipes along with wrapping instructions for each. I’m a huge believer in gifting consumables, so … More Nectarine Strawberry Almond Crumble
Ever since we adopted Baxter, I’ve been trying out dog-friendly recipes for him to try here and there. Usually he eats them up, sometimes he spits them out, and occasionally he looks at me like I’m crazy and have offered him poison. I’d been seeing a lot about the benefits of coconut oil for dogs*, … More Fido Friendly Freeze-pops
When I first started my blog, I shared a brussels sprouts recipe that, at the time, was one of my very favorites. While I do still eat a ton of roasted brussels sprouts, I’ve fallen in love with eating them raw. Shredding the brussels sprouts (by slicing them into julienne strips) gives them a super palatable texture … More Brussels Sprout Salad with Grapes & Almonds
When I came across this recipe a few years ago, the first thing I noticed was the name. I instantly knew that this had to make its way into my kitchen. It’s easy to put together and requires mostly pantry ingredients, and I was super impressed with the results. It is reminiscent of a light … More Blueberry Boy Bait
