Chicken Pot Pie Topped with Garlic and Herb Potato Mash

January 22, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Thank you Potatoes USA for sponsoring this post. Make a delicious and convenient meal for your family tonight with potatoes! Rich and creamy Chicken Pot Pie Topped with Garlic and Herb Potato Mash is the perfect nourishing meal on a chilly day. In college I used to stock up on premade chicken soup products. I would buy all kinds of flavors: chowder-style, with dumplings, chicken noodle, pot pie, etc. At that time I knew how to cook about five things, mostly just variations of eggs and pasta. (And throwing together a sandwich definitely doesn’t count as cooking!)...

Smoky Sausage, Leek, and Parmesan Cassoulet

January 11, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

Languedoc Wines and D’Artagnan 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. Smoky Sausage, Leek, and Parmesan Cassoulet is a rich and hearty comfort-food stew. The thing we all know about slow food is that it’s very aptly named. Yes, it will take the better part of a day (or even a couple days, in some instances) to yield the final edible result. Of course the food will be unparalleled by just about anything that comes out of the kitchen in 30 minutes, but what […]...

Cheddar and Thyme Butternut Squash Gratin

December 22, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Cheddar and Thyme Butternut Squash Gratin is a simple, but surprisingly flavorful side dish that pairs well with just about anything. Looking through my side dish recipes, I realized that – like most side dish recipes – a lot of them feed a crowd! Which is of course a good thing most of the time, but it doesn’t hurt to have a few small-batch options on hand for those times when you’re just cooking for you +1....

Sirloin Tips in Mushroom Gravy {Paleo}

January 27, 2017 by Faith 6 Comments

This Paleo Sirloin Tips in Mushroom Gravy recipe is a healthy take on classic comfort food! The gravy is thick, rich, and full of flavor with clean ingredients. One of the most amazing things about food lies not in the fact that it sustains our bodies, but that it’s also capable of nourishing our souls. Food is an experience well before we even sit down to a meal....

Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks {Gluten-Free}

January 9, 2017 by Faith 7 Comments

This gluten-free Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks is rich and velvety and full of fiber and protein! We all know sometimes less is more in life, and I think this can be particularly true when it comes to food. Think about a perfectly ripe summer tomato; the only thing it needs is maybe a sprinkle of salt to be mind-blowing. Or warm fresh baked bread, which can be improved by nothing except a smear of butter. Or creamy vanilla ice cream flecked with specks of vanilla beans and drizzled with hot fudge. So many times simple flavors win out....

Beer and Cheese Cauliflower Soup

April 1, 2016 by Faith 11 Comments

Beer and Cheese Cauliflower Soup has rich, complex flavor and rivals anything you’d get at a restaurant. It comes as a surprise (actually more of a shock) to most people when I tell them that the food scene in Buffalo is actually pretty fabulous. I kid you not though. The gamut ranges from fish fries to roast beef on weck, to Buffalo wings and chicken finger subs (which I literally can’t find anywhere else! Believe me, I’ve looked), to killer doughnuts and the best coffee ever, to name just a few of their specialties. One of mine and Mike’s top two restaurants when we lived […]...

Dublin Coddle with Carrots and Greens is a lovely rustic stew that’s perfect for warming up with on a chilly evening. There are just some things in life that happen in their own time. Everything that grows, whether it’s a plant, animal, or person, has a season. Some things just can’t be rushed....

Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup

October 12, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

This Macaroni and Cheeseburger Vegetable Soup has all the flavors of a classic burger, but in cold-weather comfort food form. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I enjoy traveling. I love experiencing new cultures or even just new regions of the US, and immersing myself in the foods the locals eat. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t enjoy coming back home and returning to my routine. At heart, I’m a creature of habit, happiest in my home....

Peanut Butter and Jelly Loaf

July 20, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

This Peanut Butter and Jelly Loaf has all the flavors of that nostalgic sandwich baked right in. With kiddos home from school for the summer, if your house is anything like mine was growing up, I bet your kitchen is seeing its fair share of PB&Js. Nothing is faster for parents to whip together…and nothing is easier for kids to grab and eat on the go while they head out the door for more play. (Because when you’re 9 and it’s summer, food is of secondary importance after spending time outside with your friends.)...
