Spiced & Spiked Apple Cider
Apple cider can be wonderful on its own, but why not jazz it up with some warm spices and then spike it with your choice of spirit?
Blueberry Galette with Hazelnut Crust
This rustic blueberry galette is one of my summer go-tos because there’s no fussing over the crust decoration, you can use fruit past its prime, and there are no special dishes required.
Instant Pot Risotto with Sweet Potato + Lemon
Much to my surprise and delight, the texture and ease of making risotto in an electric pressure cooker are fantastic!
How to Make Pasta with a Machine
Fresh pasta is one of my favorite things to make. It’s relatively simple, but it takes a little practice. It’s one of those things you have to get a feel for… but a pasta machine definitely makes it easier. For a long time, I rolled pasta by hand (I know…), but I finally got a machine!
#ProjectPantryPurge
I recently admitted to myself that I have a problem… a grain problem. No, I’m not allergic to grains or cutting them out of my diet. I have a problem hoarding grains, pasta, and dried beans in my pantry!! After posting about it in my Instagram stories and getting lots of responses, I realized I’m not alone.
Strawberry + Balsamic Galette with Pistachio Crust
The nutty pistachio crust is easy to make ahead, and the berry + balsamic combo is super flavorful. Plus, “galette” is a code word for “imperfect pie”–the more rustic, the better!
Egg + Asparagus Tea Sandwiches
I recently hosted a tea party baby shower for two pregnant friends, and these egg + asparagus sandwiches were a big hit! Along with scones, tea, petit fours, and mimosas, I made a selection of finger sandwiches. I was planning to make a classic egg salad, but I was running short on time and made a deconstructed version instead.
Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas
Not sure what to make for Christmas morning breakfast or a holiday family brunch? Here are a few of my favorite dishes:
A Small-Batch Gift Guide for Food Lovers
Food gifts are some of my favorite gifts to give, especially ones that are handcrafted and thoughtfully produced. As a lover of food myself, I decided that the best way to put together a gift guide was to make of list of food-related gifts I’d love to receive!
My Seasonal Thanksgiving Table
Here’s a selection of seasonal side dishes, drinks, table decoration ideas, and a couple of good-any-season desserts that I like to bring to Friendsgiving and family Thanksgiving.
Flourless Chocolate Cake
This is one of my go-to dinner party desserts because I almost always have the ingredients on hand: eggs, sugar, chocolate, and butter (plus a shot of flavored liqueur if it suits the mood).
Salad of the Month: Kale + Sweet Potatoes with Cornbread Croutons
I’m usually on salad duty for family gatherings, and Friendsgiving this weekend is no different. Kale packs a nutritious punch during a time when we’re eating lots of sweets and treats.
