Kasha Varnishkes (Buckwheat Groats with Bowtie Pasta)

February 19, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

Kasha Varnishkes (Buckwheat Groats with Bowtie Pasta) is a hearty, warming dish. Here the nutty flavor of kasha is paired with caramelized onion, earthy mushrooms, comforting pasta, the richness of butter, and a pop of freshness from parsley.

Winter! While most everyone I know is complaining about being cold, I’m sitting happily snuggled up in a sweater, wooly socks, sipping a hot drink to stay warm.

Winter foods, like roast chicken of all kinds, beef stew, and cheesy stuff galore (like bisque, cobbler, and casserole) are my happy place. And being from Buffalo, I don’t mind snow…even when I have to drive in it!…

French Onion Soup Cheese Ball

December 28, 2015 by Faith 4 Comments

This French Onion Soup Cheese Ball makes a great party appetizer! When it comes to appetizers in general and cheese balls in particular, I’m of the mind that flavors should be big and bold. Go big or go home, right?...

Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese

August 26, 2015 by Faith 6 Comments

This pretty little Za’atar and Caramelized Onion Zucchini Galette with Goat Cheese is a great way to class up zucchini. Even when it’s rustic (read: food blogger slang for a fine mess), anything with pie crust (called pâte brisée) just feels classy. And humble as it is, zucchini deserves a chance in the limelight....

Baked Eggs with Smoky Caramelized Onion and Wilted Chard {Lactose-Free; Gluten-Free}

The first time I had Swiss chard I was in my 20’s. (I am not even joking.) That’s pretty sad, right?...

Step aside sweet pumpkin pie… There’s a new tart in town....

Cream of Caramelized Onion and Cheese Chowder with Homemade Croutons

March 19, 2014 by Faith 9 Comments

Being a food blogger means that I rarely get to make the same dish twice, even if it’s a dish that I really love. (Because a dish made and not photographed for the blog is a wasted dish. Sigh. That is, in fact, the twisted reality of a food blogger, lol.) But those rare “wasted” meals when I get to sneak in a favorite recipe a second – or third – time are pure bliss....

Warm Caramelized Onion + Chickpea Spread

February 22, 2013 by Faith 20 Comments

I’ve been finding myself making fusion-type dishes more frequently lately. To name a few, Indian-spiced burgers with tamarind chutney and fresh mint, rolled up in hot naan instead of being sandwiched between a bun…Greek-flavored enchiladas, with garlicky marinated chicken, feta, tomato sauce, and beautiful briny Kalamata olives…boeuf Bourguignon served pot pie-style, enrobed in a melt-in-your-mouth tender, flaky pastry crust....

Savory Caramelized Onion, Feta, & Herb Muffins

February 25, 2011 by Faith 49 Comments

These muffins were revolutionary for me. Until I made them, I had never had a savory muffin before (yes, you read that right…never! Well, except cornbread, if that counts ;) ). These muffins were unique to me because they showed that good muffins don’t need a boatload of sugar to be delicious (and so incredibly moist!). I’m even thinking of remaking a few of my favorite sweet muffins (like blueberry, apple cinnamon, banana walnut, and lemon poppy) with this basic recipe (obviously omitting the savory additions), because these muffins are so tasty I really don’t think the sugar will be missed....

Caramelized Onion and Potato Latkes with Herb Yogurt

June 18, 2009 by Faith 3 Comments

My grandmother made latkes (or potato pancakes, as my mother calls them) all the time while my mom was growing up. My mother has a serious dislike for latkes so she never made them (not even once!) when I was a kid. I tasted my first latke at a friend’s house and it was love at first bite. To reduce the fat, I baked these latkes in the oven instead of frying them. The latkes in this recipe have a slightly sweet taste because of the caramelized onion, which balances perfectly with the tangy yogurt sauce. Caramelized Onion and Potato Latkes with Herb […]...
