Last week, Boston decided that it is would be summer, and that is something I can get on board with! With temperatures in the 80s, I wanted to make a dessert that would be tart and refreshing. Key lime pie is one of my very favorite desserts that I’ve never attempted in my own kitchen. I … More Lime Pie
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!)
I recently went to a fairly generic bar / restaurant near where I live. Their food is never off the charts, but it honestly always gets the job done. Sidenote: They also have some fantastic potachos that I can’t quit. I usually end up with some sort of random assortment of appetizers but on my … More Steak Tip Marinade
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
Weeknight meals tend to become super repetitive in our house. Now that I’m not on the road as much, I’ve been able to experiment with some new healthy recipes. One of the absolute easiest and healthiest ways to make a quick weeknight dinner involves “Fish En Papillote”, which is the fancy French term for fish … More Fish and Veggies in Parchment
Ever since I increased my zoodle consumption, I’ve been buying zucchinis by the dozen. While I do love my replacement noodles, I wanted to find some other ways to use up what Andrew would call an excessive amount of zucchini. I came across these zucchini chips and I knew I was sold. Back when kale chips had their … More Zucchini Chips
Typically when I think of cornbread, I think of spicy, bacony chili, football, and winter. However, there’s a whole other side of cornbread that pairs with BBQ, grilling and sunshine. Basically, I have come to realize that cornbread is the perfect year round side dish. Ever since I discovered cornbread made in a cast iron skillet, … More Cheddar, Scallion and Bacon Cornbread
Now that the sun has finally decided to show its face in New England, I’ve been spending as much time as possible outdoors. This past weekend, I went for a long run outside (for the first time since my half marathon in October!), Baxter went for a dip in the ocean, and Andrew and I strolled around … More Honey Sesame Pulled Chicken
With Easter on the horizon, I’ve been doing my best to ignore the taunting colorful bags of candy seemingly everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely destroy a Nutrageous or Snickers, but in an effort to control ingredient quality and enjoy something a TAD healthier, I bring you these almond butter cups. Most people … More Almond Butter Cups With Sea Salt
It’s no secret that I love pizza, and while I usually make it a few times a month, I realized that I hadn’t rolled out a pizza dough in waayy too long. One of Andrew and my favorite toppings is ricotta cheese. It adds the perfect creaminess that mozzarella just can’t provide. Combine that with a whole … More Sausage and Ricotta Pizza
Apparently it’s peanut butter week here on the blog, and I can’t say I’m mad. I’ve been leaning heavily on Asian flavors recently (pretty much since discovering sesame oil), and one of the things frequently in the rotation is this peanut sauce. Peanut butter is good on anything, savory or sweet, but I especially love this … More Easy Peanut Sauce
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
