Winter S’mores with Homemade Marshmallows and Graham Crackers

I recently spent the weekend with friends in Stowe, VT and had been brainstorming what dish to bring. I brought a cherry chili last year, which came out really good other times I made it, but not so much when you take a non-crockpot recipe and attempt it in one

Goat Cheese, Shiitake, Purple Potato Tart

I recently found the Canelle et Vanille blog, and am soo happy I did! It’s filled with amazing recipes, stories, and incredible food styling and landscape photographs. The author is an ex-pat living in the States, and all her recipes are unsuspectingly gluten-free. They look incredibly delicious first, and upon

Middle Eastern Veggie Burgers

I hadn’t made homemade veggies burgers in a really long time – probably a couple years – and decided it was about time again! I found this recipe from Moosewood on the blog Healthy Laps. It’s about healthy eating and running, and actually is by a woman in Boston. Stumbled

Dark Chocolate Chip, Coconut, Date and Flax Cookies

It’s adapted from the blog Eat Good 4 Life, found here: http://eatgood4life.blogspot.com/2011/03/chocolate-chip-cranberry-flax-cookies.html.  She has a ton of healthy recipes on there, from dinner entrees to desserts.

Orange Gingerbread with Honey Whiskey Custard

Super moist, tasty gingerbread! My timing might be off since most people are trying to avoid things like this with their New Year’s Resolution, but a homemade treat here and there can’t hurt! I unfortunately don’t have any photos of the custard, but it was really yummy. If you want

Homemade pasta

I recently bought a pasta machine and love it. While I’ve only used it once so far, I have big dreams for it. (Just another one of my random projects that I build up to being really difficult in my head, and then when I do it again, I’ll wonder

Homemade Egg Nog

Unbelievably good with honey whiskey or bourbon. If I had known that egg nog was so easy to make, I would’ve done this years ago and skipped the store-bought stuff. The recipe is from The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook – just purchased for $13 – woohoo! It has some really

Thanksgiving feastin’

Mimosas and bloody marys, cheeseboard with Brie, Roquefort, and Manchego with homemade fig and balsamic preserves, creamy roasted garlic hummus, marinated olives, Maitland Mountain Farm spicy pickles and crudite. Brining the turkey with kosher salt, baking soda and pancetta. Supah juicy! Roasted turkey; butternut squash with caramelized onions, pecans, and

Egg-in-hole herbed grilled cheese

I could take on the day after this…or fall back into a glorious sleep for a few hours. I first heard of the idea for egg-in-hole grilled cheese on the all-consuming Pinterest. Egg-in-hole?? I’m in. Grilled cheese?  Ya mon. So naturally I had to try this and make it my

Christmas Dinner

For Christmas dinner, I knew I wanted to make some sort of a seafood dish. I was originally thinking along the lines of a creamy seafood stew, such as with lobster, clams and scallops, but totally went overboard for our small Thanksgiving dinner and wanted something more low-key. In the
