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’m in denial that it’s already the end of August…but since we’re nearing the end of summer, I may or may not be going a little overboard on the summer produce. I’m basically putting blueberries in everything until the very last blueberry is grown this year. This recipe is kind of a combo situation. I healthified … More Blueberry Banana Bread
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
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
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
After making what has now become my go-to cornbread recipe, I found myself with an excessive amount of buttermilk in the fridge. I also received a bundt pan awhile back (Thanks, Gen!) which I’d been meaning to use, but somehow hadn’t. I knew that a buttermilk bundt cake was in the cards. And though it’s … More Raspberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake
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
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
