Blueberry Hand Pies was the first bake along recipe that I tried and I am sure glad I did! I have been wanting to participate in King Arthur Flour’s Bake Along since they started it in 2016. I am sure this will be one of my favorites of the many bake alongs I plan to […]
Green Bean Casserole
Everyone needs a few good casseroles in their repertoire. Green Bean Casserole should definitely be one of them. This version is a little different than your traditional green bean casserole. Ok it’s a lot different, but it tastes so good. Red bell peppers add a pop of color and flavor to this dish while bread […]
Cauliflower Tacos
I love it when I know a recipe is going to be great before I even make it. That is how I felt when I decided to make cauliflower tacos. Because why not? I love cauliflower for so many reasons and one of those reasons is that you can pretty much make it taste like […]
Homemade Flour Tortillas
Making homemade flour tortillas is so incredibly easy and way better than anything you can buy in the store. By the time it takes you to read the list of ingedients in the shells you can buy, you would have already made your dough. You can do so many things with homemade flour tortillas. Burritos, […]
Peach Cream Tart with Raspberry Hearts
Peach Cream Tart was one of the first desserts I made as a young, aspiring home cook. There was a time when the only channel my TV knew was Food Network. I did a lot of recipe testing back then. Most of them resulting in failures. However, the more I tried, the more successes I […]
The Best Homemade Buns
I find bread making to be extremely rewarding. Therapeutic even. There is something about a finished bread recipe that comes out great that really puts a smile on my face. Homemade buns were one of the first yeast recipes I attempted. When I was finally able to make them without killing my yeast twice each […]
Cream of Wheat Bread + Video
Cream of Wheat bread was the first bread recipe I ever made and I still make it to this day. It’s amazing, especially with chili or navy bean soup. I found this recipe on a website that is no longer active, but I managed to save this recipe. I love Cream of Wheat. Growing up, […]
Marbled Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
I have loved cheesecake ever since I can remember. What’s there not to love?? Fluffy, thick, sweetened cream cheese, pretty much. YUM! I love a classic New York style cheesecake, but I love a nice flavored cheesecake as well. Whether it is chocolate cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, caramel cheesecake or a fruit topped cheesecake. I don’t […]
Crispy Fried Cauliflower + Video
Cauliflower is a vegetable that is fairly new to me. We never had it growing up and I didn’t even know it existed until 1 year into college. Now, I absolutely love it. Everyone else in my house….not so much. Me, I can eat it steamed with some salt and butter and be happy as […]
Navy Bean Pie + video
If you have ever tried a bean pie and you didn’t grow up eating it like my children, chances are you remember your first bite. You might have even said “No thanks” after being offered it the first time. Of course, you were glad you changed your mind! Bean pie is so good. It sort […]
Goat Cheese and Tomato Tart
I remember my first experience with goat cheese like it was yesterday. It was on a pizza with roasted red bell peppers. So good! This goat cheese and tomato tart is so easy to make and its one of my favorite go to sides. It’s super fresh and just delicious. I love making this tart […]
Butternut Squash Muffins + Video
Butternut Squash Muffins are probably my favorite muffin. They are fluffy, moist, sweet and have that hint of spice that you sometimes only get during the holidays, but crave all year. They are also very easy to make. Mix your wet, add your dry, bake, butter, devour. Because it’s my favorite ingredient to work with, […]
How to: Freeze Fruit for Smoothies
I love to freeze fruit for my smoothies. Smoothies are a great way to intake fruit during the day, before a workout and even after a workout to refuel. It can also be a satisfying breakfast when you and the children are running late to head out of the door. If there is a certain fruit […]
