It’s that time of the week again… Time for my Friday Favorites! I’ve found quite a few great recipes this week that I want to share with you, so let’s just get right to it, shall we? I love Italian food… Especially lasagna. I like to mix it up, though, so I’m looking forward to trying…
While I love vanilla extract and vanilla sugar (as I shared with you yesterday), I also love to use vanilla beans when I am baking. One of my favorite recipes is a simple recipe for vanilla bean biscotti. It may seem strange that I love biscotti so much… In fact, sometimes I can’t quite wrap…
I have mixed feelings about the time after New Years… I always feel a bit of sadness taking down the Christmas decorations. Once the tree comes down, there’s no denying that the holiday season is over. But, at the same time, I enjoy the quietness of the winter months that follow the holidays. I look forward…
Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet? I think I may actually be done… I have a gift card or two to pick up at the store next week, but that doesn’t really count, right? It’s a good thing that I have my shopping done, because now I have lots of baking to…
When it comes to dinner parties around the holidays, I am all for thinking outside the box. Turkey, ham, and roast beef are fantastic, but sometimes I think it’s fun to do something a bit more casual and cozy, especially for a small gathering of friends or family! Casseroles are a great way to keep…
A few months ago, I introduced my husband to ricotta gnocchi. I ordered it at one of our favorite local restaurants, and he gave me a skeptical look. But, then he took a bite. Ever since, he’s been hooked. The thing is, I’ve never actually made gnocchi before. Not successfully, at least. I’ve attempted to…
This time of year we start to get kale in our CSA boxes on a fairly regular basis. I know a lot of you have probably tried the ever-popular baked kale chips, and you may love them… But, I really can’t say that I’m a fan. Sure, if you add a lot of oil and…
I love to make biscotti, and I don’t do it nearly enough. Honestly, they are one of the easiest things to bake and they always make a great last minute gift when we are headed to a friend’s house. Everyone is always so impressed by homemade biscotti (and I don’t always feel the need to fill them…
I know a lot of people are cutting back on meat lately for a variety of reasons. We have significantly cut back on the amount of eat we eat in our house, as well. I feel like eating a more vegetarian, and sometimes vegan, diet is much healthier than the meat heavy diet we used…
I don’t make a lot of “regular” dinners…
I try not to make too much “blog only” food during the week, so the majority of what you see here on the site is what we’re eating. As a result, I don’t tend to make the same thing too frequently… And, I often opt for new recipes and flavor combinations.
