Considering this coming weekend in the Northeast is about to be pretty cold and rainy, I figured I’d share a recipe for this super simple french onion soup. It’s not fancy, but it definitely gets the job done! In a heavy-bottom pot, add in olive oil and then onions and turn the heat to medium. Stir … More Easy French Onion Soup
Pretty much anytime I’m in a mall, I’m about 50% focused on shopping. The rest of my brain is reserved for locating the nearest Auntie Anne’s and ordering pretzel nuggets with cheese sauce almost instantly (even better when I can sniff it out). If I had known, all these years, that I could make an … More Soft Pretzel Nuggets with Cheese Sauce
Happy new year! Over the past two weeks, I’ve been in New York and Maine for Christmas, and celebrated the new year in Boston with my sisters, brother-in-law, and niece and nephew. I hope you all had wonderful holidays as well! Now, down to business 😀 Last year, I told you guys that my ‘resolution‘ … More Spinach Pie
I debated whether or not to share this recipe. In fact, I don’t even know if you can call it a recipe…since it’s basically just a few ingredients layered in a baking dish. Then I thought about how delicious it was and said, yup, it’s a winner. So today I’m sharing an extremely straightforward and … More Easy Bean and Cheese Dip
One of my favorite bloggers, Joy, recently posted that she was going to take part in a body ‘reset’. Basically, followers spend 20 days with no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I’ve been a little excessive lately, since I’ve been traveling a lot to NYC for work (and there’s literally no bad food in NYC), … More Almond Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates
One of my favorite things to grow in my garden (thanks to Andrew who has the green thumb in the house…) is basil. Not only is it easy to maintain, but it grows super fast and tastes good in just about every dish. As a result of the field of basil growing outside, I find … More Pea Mint Pesto Crostini
I’m back! Work got a bit crazy last week, with an unexpected trip to NYC, so unfortunately I had no time to cook. But after an amazing and long Memorial Day weekend I was able to whip up some awesome recipes I can’t wait to share with you guys! A couple weeks ago, I found … More Deviled Eggs (and Special Sauce!)
Quite recently, I discovered sesame oil. I’m not sure what took me so long to finally buy it, but I’m so glad I did. Sesame oil is a dark brown color, and has a very intense and nutty flavor, and you only need a tiny bit to impart a ton of flavor. It works extremely well … More Asian Turkey Meatballs
The Super Bowl is upon us. Andrew and I will (hopefully, depending on this teeny tiny blizzard) be in Aruba for the game. He will be watching his beloved Patriots, while I am off catching rays and sipping on mai-tais. This is not to say I’m not into sports. I actually love them, but the sadness I’m feeling from … More Upscale Pigs in a Blanket
Is there anything better than a big pile of risotto? Well, probably…but it is so good. I think a lot of people think risotto is difficult to make because it does require a bit of attention, but if you can stir a pot, you can make risotto. This risotto is one of my favorites because … More Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Risotto
