It is Spring around here and my garlic is popping up out of the earth, not as many as last year but I am on my last bulb from last years harvest so happy to have at least a dozen or so bulb for use during the summer. I will be buying it much sooner…
I vividly remember the day that I fell in love with the combination of Cranberry's, White Chocolate and Pistachios. I bet my daughter can say the same thing since we were both watching the Great British Baking Show and the contestants were making biscotti and one of them made theirs using these three ingredients. Neither…
If you are ever looking for a simple but delicious one pan meal, you should check this one out. It is super easy to make, very few ingredients and you don't need to measure anything. You could even buy pre-chopped onions if you wanted to. Grocery stores are prepping veggies all the time now. Which…
Just got home to WIFI so here we go! I made a very large meatloaf yesterday morning before we left for The Cape aka Cape Cod to visit family. I ran out of time to write my blog and figured I would just write down there this morning. As you probably figured out that didn't…
You may have probably used, tossed or froze your ham bone from Easter. If you still have it around I made a split pea soup that my husband said he would pay money for. That's a pretty good compliment. I love all kinds of soup but I am not sure if I have ever made…
Happy Easter! No this is not in my yard. I wish it was but I'll stick to buying them from people who know how to grow them or purchase them from people who know how to grow them. All the ones I have ever planted became food for moles or whoever else decided they tasted…
I hope you check this simple sweet dessert out. It is really good, so much so I made this Tuesday and Yesterday! The name was confusing to me too so I looked it up. There are some conflicting stories so I am not entirely sure what to share with you but it tastes great and…
Yesterday was a beautiful day here in NH. I was out shopping and stopped at my favorite place to get a good steak The Flying Butcher in Amherst. https://www.theflyingbutcher.com/ This is also the place with the best pork chops around. Since having their Hatfield pork chops we haven't eaten any other kind. Ya they are…
I am late today, thought I would be just a little late but then someone mentioned we forgot to set the clocks ahead an hour. Wow so now I am super late so I cleaned the kitchen and now sitting down to get this going. I really enjoy writing more when my surroundings are picked…
I have made a lot of different desserts from various countries for our #worldwidewednesday family dinners. The funny thing about it they are mostly all made with everyday ingredients, they are similar in tastes but can sometimes be made slightly different. I am going to share with you a bar cookie that I…
Sometimes its nice to have something cooking low and slow for the day and just forget about it. Some days I love to cook some days I have zero interest in making anything. I know I am not alone with this thinking. One way to get out of making dinner around dinner time is to…
I am running a little late this morning, I wanted to get to the grocery store when it opened, I know Sunday is a terrible day to shop anyway but throw in a holiday, snowstorm and even the Super Bowl and it gets a little insane. So much so that the market I go to;…
Sitting here thinking about what to write. Made my tea, my husband is making breakfast, I made my list of what needs to get done, looking forward to crossing out what actually does get done. Yes those things tends to happen; I have great intentions and then some things just go sideways. Last night was…
A couple of weeks ago my daughter made this steak sandwich that was SO good that she worked from home a few days with me and we had the leftover 2 days in a row. I am actually craving it right now and I could eat it for breakfast no problem. I mean it has…
Not sure how your weather is where you are but it is currently 8 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I am very happy to be sitting at my kitchen island with a hot cup of tea and no real plans today. I hope you are in your happy place as well and if you are in…
Last Sunday I was kind of an over achiever; of sorts. I must have been hungry when I went grocery shopping since I came home with short ribs, a brisket and some sweet Italian sausages and a plan; well kind of a plan. I hadn't planned on making everything on Sunday but it didn't stop…
Confession - my son and I made beef wellington for New Years Eve. I bought 2 - 1 pound beef filets so we each got to assemble one. I will start with they tasted fabulous. The process is quite long and a little tedious it was a lot of cleaning and chopping (mushrooms) cooking and…
I will be making this again this year, I am hoping to get to it before the end of the day but I haven't started moving yet and still have to go to the store. I think having a lazy Sunday on a day where I usually prep for things is not serving me very…
I posted this last year after I had made it for our Christmas dinner so I wanted to share it today just in case you are still trying to figure out what you are making next weekend for dinner. I will be making this again, It was SO good and you can't beat it for…
We have had some really good food over the last year during our world wide Wednesday meals. Though a few months ago my daughter asked if we could change it to Tuesday's. I don't like it; she doesn't like it but that's when we are doing our family dinner; on a Tuesday. No matter the…
What did you do with your leftovers? I did nothing with mine as my husband and I left around 5:30 in the morning the day after Thanksgiving on a week long vacation to FL. My daughter however made egg rolls with some or ours. I am so proud of her. I was kinda sad that…
I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends or however you spent your day. I kind of feel like I failed a bit; at least with the prep the day before process. I should have only left the dinner rolls and the turkey for Thursday. My morning kinda got away from me.…
I am sure you in full Holiday meal prep this week. I will be heading out soon to meet the masses at my local grocery store to make sure I have everything I need to make Thanksgiving happen for my family. I am sharing this recipe, which has nothing to do with meal prep for…
I haven't really been thinking about the holidays just yet. I literally looked at an actual calendar earlier today to see how many more days I have to get my stuff together. Guess I need to giddy up a bit. So on my grocery shopping list today is quite a few items I will need…
It definitely feels like a soup kinda day! I need to do some outside work before the snow flies. I haven't planted my garlic yet and I still need to pull most of the plants. It really needs to happen but we'll see. The outdoor furniture is also still out on the porch and patio.…
The recipe I want to share with you today I made last week. I will share that it really is best the day of; though I don't recall ever having a cinnamon bun or cake the next day that blew my socks off. The family all really liked it enough to have more than one…
What is you immediate thought when someone asks you to bring an appetizer? I start going over what I like; then onto what do I have on hand and then what do I feel like eating. I don't think I have a "go-to" app that I am known for. Well maybe caprese salad on crostini's…
I shared this recipe a few years ago. I am bringing it back for a few reasons. We technically into soup season with cool mornings and nights and hopefully warm afternoons. What better way to use up a few of the last veggies harvested from your garden. My husband LOVES this chowder and lastly I…
I love my family of foodies. My son called me Friday night to ask me what I was doing on Saturday. I guess he and his wife were going to go to a dumpling festival that ended up being cancelled. So they decided to make their own dumpling "festival" of sorts in my kitchen. I…
There is nothing like a cast iron skillet. I know I have mentioned this before but you should get one if you don't have one. Use it if you have one and it just sits at the bottom of the pile. There are so many things you can make with it. I use mine for…
This was supposed to post yesterday! Sorry for the delay! I was going through my post to see which one I can use for this weeks blog. I am running a little late this morning trying to get ready for a super fun filled day/night in Portland Maine. We are going to celebrate my GF…
Not sure how your garden is doing this summer or even if you have a garden. But if you have access to some wonderful fresh veggies you should really make some salsa. I am actually going to make this one when I am done writing this morning. It's rainy out and I picked some Roma…
I made a lovely cake this past week for our #worldwidewednesday. I wasn't sure how it was going to come out and I don't have time to make another one to share with you my usual picture montage of how I make things but this was so good I wanted to share it with you.…
Sitting here this morning trying to figure out what to blog about. This salad looks so good and doesn't disappoint. Before my husband went out to sand the porch deck he asked me what I was going to make him for breakfast. I immediately said leftover pizza. He said if I put a fried egg…
Gardening in my opinion is quite finicky and I find that even doing the same exact thing year after year yields different results. Yes I know weather matters but I plant garlic every fall and this years crop is GORGEOUS. I am SO proud that here is a picture of it. These are the largest…
