Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary: An Easy Breakfast or Dessert

September 6, 2016 by Faith 17 Comments

I’m thrilled to share #mydailysiggis story along with a few tips and tricks for managing this busy time of year, and my Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary recipe makes an easy, elegant breakfast or dessert.

On any given day when I check my email, I’m likely to get multiple messages saying something along the lines of “time flies!” or “I can’t believe that summer (or fall, or winter, or spring) is nearly over!” or “soon enough it’ll be Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or New Year’s, or Memorial Day)!” or “it’s been forever since we caught up!” I swear it feels like time moves faster now than when I was a kid.…

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce {Wolf Gourmet Blender Giveaway with a Retail Value of $599.95}

September 5, 2016 by Faith 115 Comments

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce is sweet and tangy with a touch of spicy heat. I used to think that most people either fall into the creamy condiment camp (like mayo) or the sweet/tangy condiment camp (like ketchup, honey mustard, and BBQ sauce). That’s because until about five years ago when I discovered the bliss that is homemade mayo (not to mention how insanely easy it is to make), mayo just wasn’t my thing....

Vanilla Mango Preserves

June 10, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

This Vanilla Mango Preserves recipe takes just an hour to make; it’s a delicious tropical twist on your favorite fruity jam and a great way to spiffy up your morning toast. So apparently mangos are like zucchini. When they’re in season, anyone with a tree will do just about anything to use them up. A friend of ours dropped off two pretty big boxes of mangos in less than a week, knowing they’re one of my favorites. It was such a sweet gesture that left us eating mangos hand-over-fist, and yet we still weren’t able to keep up with those mangos....

February 15, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Vegan Pineapple Black Bean Salad with Pomegranate Arils and Coconut Chips is a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors! Mike and I are currently in London, on a quick little whirlwind of a trip. Before we left when we were putting together a list of things we wanted to see, I asked Mike what he was looking forward to most. His reply: the food. Yeah, that sounds about right....

This recipe for Fluffy Seltzer Water Pancakes with Quick Spiced Maple-Pear Compote makes a lovely festive brunch that comes together in less than 30 minutes. In my family, Thanksgiving Day eats are special from the very beginning. Dinner is served around 5 or 6pm, so we usually sit down to brunch mid-morning.

Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits

June 29, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

Fun and festive Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits made with fresh strawberries, blueberry sauce, and goat cheese-based cheesecake are perfect for the 4th of July or any summer party. One of my favorite 4th of Julys was when I was about 20. I went to a carnival with a group of girls and we packed a cooler with food and drinks to take with us to watch the fireworks at a local town park. It seemed like the epitome of summer fun....

I’m so excited, it’s a little scary. And if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, I’m sure you’re just as through-the-roof thrilled as I am for Sunday night. (If you’re not a fan, you might not find this post all that interesting, so I won’t take it personally if you just want to scroll down to the bottom and check out the fabulously delicious recipe that you definitely don’t have to be a Game of Thrones fan to enjoy. Or stay a while and read a little bit about the story; but I warn you, you will be intrigued if you do!)...

Vanilla Roasted Pears

October 16, 2011 by Faith 47 Comments

Vanilla Roasted Pears is the perfect fall dessert; roasting brings out their natural sweetness, and you’ll end up with a lovely vanilla-scented pear caramel sauce in the bottom of the pan that you can drizzle on top of the fruit when serving. Pears, although beloved in my house, are one of the most underused fruits. When fall rolls around I usually gravitate toward fruits like apples and grapes, but the truth is, every time I eat a pear I think wow, this is deliciousI should really start buying pears more often. And yet, without fail, the next time Im at the grocery store or farmers […]...
