Recipes
Lemon Spaghetti
When it comes to pasta John likes the simple approach. If he had it his way he would be satisfied with a bowl of pasta noodles with olive oil or butter along with salt and pepper. With Spring in full swing I wanted to find a way to kick this recipe up a notch and …
Healthy Instant Pot Lentil Soup
I was introduced to Lentil soup last year and couldn’t believe how flavorful it was and making it in the Instant Pot was a breeze. John recently got me the Step by Step Instant Pot cookbook by Jeffrey Eisner and his Lentil Soup recipe is delicious! I still can’t believe how easy and fast meals …
Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Biscoff Truffles
I really don’t think it can get any better than the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and Biscoff. So when I discovered this truffle recipe I made a few tweaks to incorporate the Biscoff and you truly have what I like to call, a match made in foodie heaven. Who doesn’t love truffles? I made …
Overnight Blueberry Oats
Breakfast is a meal I try not to skip, so when I find a recipe that ups my breakfast routine everyone wins. Overnight oats have become quite the sensation and very popular in the last couple of years. If you Google “Overnight Oat” recipes you will likely be overwhelmed. I ran across this blueberry recipe …
Easy Smoked Bacon
I love the saying, “Everything tastes better with bacon“. It’s so true, any excuse to add bacon in a dish and everyone wins. I ran across a tip years ago that cooking bacon in the oven vs on the stove is better. It doesn’t make a mess and if you are able to elevate the …
Cashew Chicken
I’m a huge fan of the Pioneer Woman and her Cashew Chicken is a tried and true recipe that I love to make and enjoy 😉 Every time I make this I forget how easy it is to prepare. It’s a hybrid of a chicken and rice dish with a slant of Asian flavors. The …
Vodka Brined Smoked Salmon
The best Christmas present we bought each other was a Camp Chef Pellet grill. I still can’t believe we waited so long to jump on this bandwagon. We had a charcoal grill that was left untouched for over 2 years, mostly because it was a lot of work to cook anything. We were inspired after a …
Buttermilk Biscuits and Gravy made Perfect!
Making buttermilk biscuits from scratch is something I have never done however recently I made it my mission to find the perfect recipe and learn how to make them. I think I found a winner. Over the holidays I decided to try out this recipe for Christmas breakfast. I have a close friend who grew …
Roasted Vegetable Soup with Pesto
If I was introduced to this recipe as a child, I’m pretty sure vegetable soup would be my favorite food group. I have my college friend Beth to thank me for introducing me to this Williams-Sonoma recipe. This past fall we visited her and her husband in Seattle and this meal was waiting for us …
White Chocolate Biscoff Ritz Cookies
Over the holidays we enjoyed making our favorite cookies that reminded us of home. My favorite cookie my mom would make are snowball cookies. I loved eating them right out of the oven with a fresh coat of powdered sugar. A flavor that always tastes like Christmas. John’s favorite cookie is white chocolate dipped Ritz …
Union Square Cafe’s Bar Nuts
Over 10 years ago I attended a holiday party where these bar nuts were placed on several tables. I decided to give them a try and was taken by surprise by the unique flavor. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before and I immediately asked the host for the recipe. Would you believe …
