I can't stop thinking about this dish. I've been craving it since it was gobbled up. I served this as an alternative to traditional candied yams at Thanksgiving this year. This dish will NOT be exclusively served for Thanksgiving my house! I can't wait to make it again. Have you cooked with plantains before?? I love them for their variety and nutrition. Variety because I get bored always eating the same 'ol thing. Don't you?? Think of … [Read more...]
Creamy Pesto and Pasta
It's that dreaded question... "What's for dinner?" Listen for the dramatic "Dun! Dun! Duuuun!" to follow. I've been known to make things complicated before. To lean toward elaborate dishes. Impressive. Fancy. Because when I have time to blog, I usually also have time to cook. Let's be real, I started food blogging when I quit my full time job at the end of October 2013. I had lots of time then because I intentionally took time to myself … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Menu – Recipe Roundup!
Soooo as I mentioned in my last post, I wasn't able to share with you Thanksgiving recipes (besides BreakingFall, the best cocktail ever) before the holiday. Working a new full-time job and moving on top of trying to have a life and take some time for myself won over stressing out. So alas, this will turn into a Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup... a recap of this year's menu, and the best Thanksgiving Menu Plan for years to come!! I'm … [Read more...]
Southwestern Shepherd’s Pie
Ok, so Thanksgiving was yesterday and all I gave you before the big day was a cocktail recipe. Yes, count it, that's ONE holiday recipe. And a cocktail at that. Sure, it wasn't just any cocktail, but BreakingFall - a bourbon cocktail recipe bound to blow your socks off. Literally. Ok not literally. But just make it. You'll thank me later. So... I'm a bad blogger. I had the best of intentions to get my recipes posted two weeks before the big day. … [Read more...]
BreakingFall – Bourbon Cocktail Recipe
I. NEVER. In my wildest dreams. Would have imagined. That my first cocktail published on this little 'ol food blog would be a bourbon cocktail. Heck, I barely know the difference between whiskey and bourbon. I know enough to know they're related, how's that?? Whiskey/ bourbon makes me shiver. To me, it's like vodka and gin because when I take a sip of any one of those three liquors, I shudder. I swear they send shivers down my spine. I'm … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Bread with Oat & Seed Streusel Topping
So you know what's funny? Not this pumpkin bread. It's light and cakey! Not crazy sweet, but oh so addicting. The topping, oh the topping. I love a streusel topping. On a muffin, pie, bread, cobbler, you name it. That crumbly topping. Ugh. My fave. This one's filled with healthy seeds like flax, chia, and pumpkin seeds. Woop! Woop! But what IS funny is this. I love food and cooking and eating. And guess what. The population I … [Read more...]
Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Soooo this week is a tragic for me. It's the first week that I officially feel chilled to the bone. Ok, ok so calling it a tragedy is probably a little dramatic, I know. I know. I just looove the heat, the sun, a beach, the pool, that whole scene... like no other. So when I'm faced with the fact that fall and soon winter are serious events, I get a little sad. I despise being cold. When fall weather hits, and my hands and the tip of … [Read more...]
Sous Vide Salmon with Lemon Miso Sauce
Let this be the first of many sous vide recipes. Have you heard of this thing?? It makes you look like a pro chef! First off, I'm guessing most of you reading this don't own a sous vide cooking appliance. Don't worry. You're normal. I didn't even know what it was until Santa brought it for Christmas last year! Let's make sure you know that you totally should still make this Lemon Miso sauce and put it over salmon -- I mean, hello, … [Read more...]
Tropical Cashew Cream Strawberry Smoothie
I've been soooooo into smoothies lately. That is a weird thing for me say, because I'm finicky when it comes to smoothies. Too thick? Can't drink it. Protein powders with weird textures? Can't drink it. Tastes weird? Can't drink it. Too cold outside? Can't drink it. Smoothie not cold? Can't drink it. Geeze! Goldilocks much? So for me to be into a smoothie? Big deal. I'm clearly particular. Here's what I've found helps me to make a … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Sage Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Pumpkin and sage are one of my faaaav flavor combinations. Every fall, I bring it out in my cooking! No but seriously. Let me explain... So there's this old Rachel Ray recipe where you make a pumpkin sage sauce and serve it over penne with sausage. I looooved it when I made it. Making it sort of became this fall tradition of mine. … [Read more...]
