Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette is a beautiful way to highlight the earthy, sweet, and subtly nutty flavor of roasted squash.
Last but certainly not least when it comes to my holiday meal for four is this salad recipe I’m sharing. It’s quite a simple salad, but there’s something about winter squash in general and delicata squash in particular that always wins my vote.…
Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce is all about that rich, velvety, nuanced sauce. It’s slow food cooked with love, and perfect for a unique twist on holiday entertaining. This year I decided I wanted to feature a beautiful holiday meal that serves just four people. It’s equally appropriate for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or any time you’re having an intimate festive gathering....
Thank you to Nancy’s for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Keto Chocolate-Coated Maple Walnut Cheesecake Truffles are quick and easy to whip up, and a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth while getting in healthy probiotics! Are you the type of person who orders a different flavor of ice cream every time or do you stick with your tried and true favorite? I go back and forth between things like mint chocolate chip, chocolate peanut butter, […]...
Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread is a fantastic base for crafting flavor profiles with Marin French Cheese and unique homemade toppings. There are certain times in our lives when we don’t realize it in the moment, but later we understand how significant it was. We always know when we’re having a first time experience, but if we knew the last time was actually the last time for a lot of things, I wonder how much different would it be....
I go through phases when I just don’t feel like cooking. At all. Sometimes, if I’m really burned out, the better part of a week will go by before I feel inspired to cook. That’s when Mike gets to do one of his favorite things: live off the food from the Pakistani restaurant a block from where we live. It’s a windfall for him and a win for me too since I get a much-needed break and time to recharge....
I have a weird method of cooking for Mike and I. One thing I adore about him is how even though he is a crazy-picky eater, if it’s a dish he likes, he doesn’t mind eating it for leftovers…for a week straight. Yup, I’m a lucky girl....
Ever notice how certain movies (even non-foodie movies) are incredibly good at making you crave certain things? (Which, incidentally, definitely has to be some kind of evil conspiracy.) It even starts with movies for the little ones; as a kid I couldn’t watch Snow White without wanting an apple (and yes, I understood that the apple in the movie was poisoned, lol!) and Lady and the Tramp has always incited a craving for spaghetti. And thanks to Edmund and the wickedly alluring White Witch, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will always mean Turkish delight....
Can I let you in on a little secret? I’m not really sure how I feel about buckwheat. (Probably not the best way to sell you on these scones, but I have to keep it real, right?) This was the first time I baked with it, and actually, the first time I’ve knowingly had it (other than in soba noodles, which I do enjoy). Buckwheat is so healthy, I wanted to like it, really I did. But it’s just so…I don’t know…grassy, maybe? Truth be told, cardboard-y is probably a better word....
