Fancy BLT with Balsamic Mayo
When I was a kid, my father played in a bowling league and every once in awhile I would tag along. I wasn’t really interested in bowling, what I was after was the crinkle cut french fries and toasted BLT. To this day I still associate crinkle cut fries or what I call bowling alley…
Roasted Peppers in Arbequina Olive Oil
I spent most of last week laid-up in bed with a sinus infection, streaming back-to-back movies, on a soar throat diet (ice cream pints) and wearing the same yoga pants for possibly three days straight. It may not have been my most productive week, but I did manage to find some inspiration while in my…
Peanut Butter, Banana & Honey Stuffed Almond Crusted French Toast
Weeknights can be crazy sometimes they can be downright insane. Many times after a full days work, be it in the office or attempting to clean the house while keeping little ones busy, it’s hard to find that final push to make dinner. All of us are looking for ways to make life easier and…
Coconut & Green Tea Ice Cream
Ice cream is awesome! Homemade ice cream is awesomer! Yes, homemade ice cream can be somewhat time-consuming, but allow me to explain why it’s worth the effort and awesomer than store-bought ice cream. (I am fully aware that “awesomer” is technically not a word.) Creaminess to the max! Peanut butter swirl with pickles? Ok! Because you…
Sweet Pea Pesto & Pancetta Gnocchi
Over a year ago we cut the cable. I found myself spending way too many hours watching The Real Housewives, both new episodes and rerun marathons of episodes I had already seen. I was literally wasting away watching 40-year-old woman drama, cat fights and extravagant spending. It had become a problem, so I petitioned…
Sriracha Glazed Chicken with Pickled Plum Salad
Notice anything different? I’ll give you a minute to figure it out. If you haven’t figured it out yet you and my husband should meet. I could paint a wall bright purple and it would take him a week to notice. And, no I don’t think I am exaggerating. In addition to moving servers…
Grapefruit, Avocado and Lump Crab Salad with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette & Coconut Chips
Spring is springing or trying to spring under a layer of snow in some parts. I sorry for those of you who still have snow on the ground and I am really, really sorry for those of you who just got more snow on the ground. But, don’t worry I got your back. Maybe spring…
Elvis Blondies : Peanut Butter, Banana, Bacon and Chocolate Blondies
You may be thinking, “Hey! didn’t you already post these?” or “I saw these, but when I went to get the recipe your site disappeared!” It’s been a little bit of a crazy week over here. Thanks you all of you awesome people I grew out of the shared server I was on and had…
Civil War Recipes: Irish Stew
Slowly but surely I am still working my way through my Civil War Recipes cookbook. This time I thought I give something savory a go. This recipe reads super easy, but it goes against everything I want to do when making stew. Normally when I make a stew or anything that is braised in…
Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Pound Cake
Have you ever had a bite of cake that makes you moan with joy and satisfaction? I know you know what I am talking about. That one bite that throws open its arms of dessert love beckoning to eat more. Telling you that you can’t stop with just one bite, you have to have it…
Naan Bread with Curry Butter, Yogurt Dip and Spicy Hummus
I have a love hate relationship with daylight saving time. I love the extra hour of sunlight, but I hate loosing an hour of sleep and the week it seems to take for my body to get back in time. Even though I really wanted to sleep in I got my tail out of bed…
