Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I'm excited to be back participating in this month's Secret Recipe Club! I took off last month in anticipation of the birth of my son, Cooper. This month I was assigned Corina's blog, Searching for Spice! Corina and I have a lot things in common - new babies (she had a little girl in April),… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Beet & Orzo Salad
Geesh where has the time gone? These last couple of weeks have been so busy and I can't seem to catch up. I think between trying to get ready for baby boy, Madeline being a terror at bedtime and trying to work ahead 3 months to get things ready....I barely know whether I'm coming or… Continue reading Creamy Quinoa Primavera
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law. She always makes it for Easter and it's a sweet treat to go along with ham. This year for Christmas, my mom made a ham and I brought a casserole of pineapple stuffing. While it's not the healthiest, it's ok to splurge and enjoy the holidays!4… Continue reading Pineapple Stuffing
It's that time of the month again for The Secret Recipe club! I was super excited when I received my assignment this month...Get Healthy with Heather! Heather received my blog as her first assignment when she joined the SRC. She made my cream cheese, feta and cranberry roll-ups with a little bit of a twist.… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Green Onion Scalloped Red Potatoes
My friend Shannon shared this recipe with my online mom's board. I've talked about my mom's board before but I just need to reiterate how important they are in my life. I've been friends with these girls for a little over 4 years. I know how can you be friends with people you've never met… Continue reading Broccoli-Quinoa Casserole
It's that time again for The Secret Recipe Club! This is my fourth month participating and I'm having so much fun. Not only do I get to be sneaky and try out another blogger's recipe but I'm getting a ton of inspiration from the other SRC members! This month I was assigned the blog, Not Rachael… Continue reading Secret Recipe Club: Honey-Balsamic Chicken Thighs with Cranberry Wild Rice
My mom makes a mean batch of baked beans. She's always asked to bring them to parties and events. They so perfect and chunky! You could easily substitute the canned beans for dried beans and soak them before making the batch. Not only are they delicious, they're quick to make. There's no need to slave… Continue reading Mom’s Baked Beans
Part of our CSA basket last week was 2 small heads of baby cabbage. When I think of cabbage, there's two things that come to mind...sauerkraut and coleslaw. I have never made sauerkraut before, but it's on my list, one day I'll tackle it. So the next best thing was to make a batch of… Continue reading Herbed Coleslaw
As part of our CSA basket last week, we had two small bunches of white turnips. I have never had a turnip before, so I was little nervous to try them. I wanted to find a simple recipe that would highlight the turnip and not it with other ingredients. This was the perfect recipe and… Continue reading Butter Braised Turnips
Our CSA basket included 2 bunches of scallions. While I love scallions, I find myself using them the same way - as a garnish. I wanted to incoporate them into a side dish and knew my one cookbook would have many different recipes to try out. This was the perfect recipe and I'll definitely be… Continue reading Smashed Red Potatoes with Scallions
