Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Chickpea Garden Vegetable Soup is a celebration of summer’s produce in healthy comfort food form.
This time of year I’m always torn between wanting a salad or a big old plate of grilled vegetables for dinner, or something a little more substantial like soup. Summer produce is still going strong and this soup gives you the best of both worlds.…
There’s nothing better than a home-cooked meal in the middle of the day when you’re at work. (It beats the heck out of a quickly thrown-together sandwich or fast food from the drive-thru any day!)...
How does your family do Thanksgiving dinner? Pot luck-style with everyone bringing a dish to pass? Or maybe the person hosting makes everything and someone else hosts the next holiday? In my family, dinner is always at my mom’s house, and she and I make everything together (except for the turkey, which my mom brines and my dad roasts). We like to have an assortment of sides to please everyone because everyone has a different favorite. And it seems like there is always at least one person who is on a new diet or who found out that they are intolerant to something, and we […]...
Today I am thrilled to share a guest post with you from the lovely and talented Heather of Kitchen Concoctions! She has a very interesting culinary background that you can read on her about page called Little ol’ Me. Not only am I smitten with her delicious recipes and wonderful photography, but she and I are kindred souls, so I knew I had to invite her to guest post over here. Welcome, Heather, and thank you so much for your beautiful post!...
I’ve noticed something when it comes to converting picky eaters – happy accidents are your best friend. For example, get someone hungry enough and they’ll try anything, despite protests of I don’t think I’ll like it! One such serendipitous encounter this autumn led my hubby to fall in love with butterscotch shortbread, and I knew I had to come up with a homemade version. Head over to Roxana’s Home Baking to read my guest post for the full recipe for my Butterscotch + Brown Butter Shortbread, and be sure to take a look around while you’re there. Roxana is one of the best bakers I know, […]...
So, Halloween is tomorrow…and I have no idea where October went. (Forget October, where did summer go?!) I’ve been starting to think about holiday cookies; every year I go on a hunt for a new recipe or two to add to the collection of classics that I always make. Like the Snickercrinkles I made last year, this batch is also a hybrid: shortbread + jam thumbprints. And it really is a fantastic pairing....
Bavarian Cream with Cherry Sauce is a velvety custard that’s flecked with vanilla beans and topped with a quick homemade cherry sauce that’s subtly spiced and scented with mahlab. A while ago my friend Victoria (from Mission: Food) asked me to write a guest post for her at the end of September/beginning of October with a recipe that pertains to travel. I’ve known Victoria for at least a couple years now and I love her blog so of course I said yes; my mind immediately went to German food because of Oktoberfest....

In celebration of the fact that it’s Friday, how about dessert? It’s naturally-sweetened, high in protein, and bursting with fresh peach flavor, not to mention incredibly easy to make! It’s the perfect treat for late summer....
Morning in the Middle East (Apricot Jam): Check out my guest post on The Ardent Epicure to see how I used color in this image (as well as several others) to tell a story.

If you’re into food photography or just photography in general, head over to my friend Alisha’s blog (The Ardent Epicure) to check out my guest post, where I talk about using color in your photographs to help convey the story or mood you want to depict.
