I’m getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week! Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening. I’m not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned and had it written with a…

Mac & Cheese with Baked Heirloom Tomatoes
It’s rough being married to a food blogger… Just ask my husband. Honestly, though, he’s a really good sport when it comes to my food blog. He is willing to try just about anything I make, and rarely complains about things that don’t work out as planned. He also puts up with my constant photographing…

Hearty Mac and Cheese
This weekend, I was reminded that it is still winter. Sunday was a cold, windy day with flurries flying in the air – a perfect day for macaroni and cheese! When I make macaroni and cheese, I often add cooked butternut squash. It helps to thicken the sauce and makes the dish just a bit…
