I’ve made many, many rice krispie treats over the years, and without fail every time they end up being kind of crunchy and frankly not that enjoyable. I came across this trick which incorporates sweetened condensed milk and I was blown away with how absolutely delicious and soft these remained over time (let’s be honest … More Brown Butter Soft Rice Krispie Treats
If you’re on Instagram, and follow a minimum of one food blogger, chances are you saw THE COOKIES last year. Alison Roman developed these cookies with a shortbread base and chocolate chunks, which are cut from logs and rolled in sugar before baking. So, being a diligent food blogger, I made them…I made them again, (just … More Toffee Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies
In a shock to no one, I’ve found it extremely hard to get out of my holiday eating routines. Obviously each meal should have a dessert! And a bag of chips before bed…wonderful! HA So I’m making every attempt to find creative and fun (lol) ways to bulk up my veggie intake. Trader Joe’s had … More Sugar Snap Pea Salad
During the hot summer months, almost every night of the week, Andrew and I will sit on the patio outside and grill anything and everything in our fridge. Recently, we had some corn on the cob and instead of just grilling it and eating off the cob, I decided to whip up a salad using … More Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad
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
I don’t know about you guys, but my weekday lunches are typically whatever sad leftovers remain from the previous night’s dinner. Every once in awhile though, I make something for dinner that I’m pumped to have the next day for lunch. This easy Greek lentil salad is one of those things. In fact, it actually … More Greek Lentil Salad
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
Even though spring has finally arrived, the northeast obviously didn’t get the memo. So until we actually see some greenery, I’m still 100% on the comfort food train. I’m not the biggest eggplant fan, but we’ve been trying to eat less carbs lately so I figured it was worth a shot. I’ve gotta say, you … More Healthy Eggplant Rollatini
As I do every year when the super bowl and oscars are approaching, I’ve been thinking about the most important part of either of these events: the food. Yes the outcomes are “important”, but regardless of who you want to win…grazing around a table for hours is something everyone can get behind! In my opinion, … More Buffalo Artichoke Wings
Lately, Andrew and I have started incorporating one meatless or vegan meal into our weeknight repertoire. Typically that means we focus on legumes like lentils or beans, so when I found this recipe for a coconut chickpea and sweet potato curry I was sold instantly. Not only does it come together pretty quickly (the active time … More Chickpea & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
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
One of the most satisfying things in the world is discovering that something you’ve bought 1,000,000 times is one of the easiest things to make in your own kitchen. I mean don’t get me wrong, I always knew pickles were just cucumbers soaked in vinegar (for the most part…), but I just never took the … More Bread and Butter Pickles
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
