Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This paleo Baked Eggplant Recipe pairs mild roasted eggplant with a richly spiced tomato sauce, nutty toasted almonds, and fresh mint.
Normally as summer winds down I start to hoard summer vegetables.
Cucumbers get pickled, tomatoes get stewed (for beautiful things like creamy tomato soup in the middle of winter), and zucchinis get baked. (By the way, that chocolate zucchini cake I linked to freezes well for up to 6 months if wrapped well!)…
Zoup! provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. Sweet and Savory Quinoa Pilaf with Cranberries, Roasted Butternut, and Toasted Almonds is packed with flavor and nutrition, and is the perfect addition to any holiday spread or fall gathering. We all have our classic holiday side dish standbys. Green bean casserole, candied yams, and buttery mashed potatoes, to name just a few of my family’s favorites. I’ll occasionally do a rice dish (typically a pilaf) of some kind, and just to mix things up, I […]...
Cinnamon and Toasted Almond Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Popsicles are rich and creamy and perfect for cooling down with on a hot day. And bonus, they’re low-carb! When the weather heats up enough to necessitate trips to the ice cream stand, I am only too happy to get out my popsicle mold....
Paleo Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds is a delicious grain-free side dish that comes together easily and pairs well with any number of things. My husband is a real meat and potatoes man; and when I say meat, anything will do except pork (which we don’t eat), and by potatoes I mean starch of any kind (usually some form of pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes). You can imagine my surprise when he told me earlier this year that he wanted to cut way back on starchy foods as well as sugar! I was as happy as a lark, armed with low-carb versions […]...
Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips will make you a winner no matter what team you’re rooting for on game day! Let’s be real here; I’m just not that into football. To me, the only legitimate reason I can think of to attend a Super Bowl party would be for the food. (Ok, and maybe for the halftime show and/or commercials.)...
Gluten-Free Cherry Almond Cake with Rosemary Vanilla Bean Buttercream makes a lovely winter cake that’s fit for a simple wedding, or simply dessert for a family supper. Note that this post is not sponsored in any way, nor is it affiliated with Downton Abbey! It is dedicated to Downton fans, as well as all fans of cake. Does that just about cover everyone? ;) Love in many forms comes and goes, a fact of life that we’ve seen over and over again in Downton Abbey. There’s been a lot of heartbreak on this show; Sybil and Tom Branson, Edith and Michael Gregson, Mary and Matthew, […]...
We all play favorites, whether it’s on purpose or not. Sometimes it’s a favorite song or restaurant or flavor of ice cream. Sometimes it’s a favorite aunt, cousin, or pet. And sometimes it’s something as ordinary as a favorite baked good....
10 minutes is all it takes to throw together this Easy Chocolate-Drizzled Coffee Popcorn with Toasted Almonds…make it for your next movie night! I know I’m not the only one who goes to the movie theater just for the snacks. (Ok, not all the time…there are some movies that I’m legitimately into, but for the most part I’d rather wait a while and stream the movie from the comfort of my living room where I can watch it in my PJs snuggled up on the couch.)...
A while ago, a friend and I were at Starbucks and she ordered a chocolate muffin. Now, I admit that I’ve sampled a lot of baked goods that Starbucks has to offer, but their chocolate muffins – never! I was intrigued and it looked good, but I resisted ordering it. But it got me thinking that I need to come up with a good recipe for homemade chocolate muffins…...
If you’re looking for a new treat for your holiday cookie platter, these Cranberry-Chocolate-Almond Thumbprint Cookies are perfect! Things are about to get cookie crazy around here. Ok, not really, but they should. And in a perfect world (read: where calories don’t at all for the entire months of November and December), cookie crazy would be my life right now....
