I have no luck with growing tomatoes in my garden (with the exception of golden cherry tomatoes that grow like weeds). I get 100% full sun in my back yard, and the plants usually dry up and the tomatoes split before they ever ripen... Part of that may be my ...

It's Friday again... Good Friday, to be exact. So, I thought it was only appropriate that I pick a few Easter dishes for this week's favorites. If you're still planning your Easter menu, or if you just want to make a few fun treats, these recipes are for you! ...
Chai Spiced Roasted Almonds
I really enjoyed my spicy cocoa roasted almonds a few weeks ago. They were a great, relatively healthy chocolatey snack... Better than the other chocolate alternatives around the house! So, I stocked up on a bunch of almonds again this week to make another batch of roasted almonds. This ...
Roasted Winter Vegetables with Goat Cheese
One of the dishes I was served by Chef April Bloomfield at the Spotted Pig on my trip to NYC was a wonderful root vegetable soup. The soup she prepared was simple, but very flavorful, allowing the flavor of vegetables to stand out. Ever since, I have been in the ...

I'm in a fall-inspired comfort food mood... Can you tell? I blame it on the weather. We went to Boston this past weekend for a short vacation. Well, we picked the wrong weekend. It was cold and windy, and it even snowed a bit on Sunday. We were afraid we were ...
Roasted Eggplant and Squash Pasta
During the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid, I was determined to use up the two bags of Wacky Mac (multi-colored rotini-like pasta) that were hanging out in my pantry. I'm not exactly sure what I thought I was going to do with them when I picked up two bags at ...
