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. I’m so excited to share this post with you all! 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.
