We eat a lot of salmon and I'm always looking for a side dish to go along with it. I found this recipe for spicy green beans and I thought it was a great twist on plain green beans. These were really good - but a little too spicy for my kids. I served them… Continue reading Spicy Sriracha Green Beans
I'm trying to get back into the kitchen and making some new recipes. My daughter was asking for scones and I wanted to use up what I had in my pantry and fridge. I found this recipe that doesn't use heavy cream, which is great since I never seem to have any on hand. Both… Continue reading Blueberry Oat Scones
This weekend we had an annual picnic at my aunt and uncle's house and I volunteered to make an appetizer. I was going to make corn and black bean salsa, but my cousin and his wife were bringing that ... so off to Pinterest I went to be inspired.

They're already asking me… Continue reading Chocolate Cherry Crisp
My family loves brussels sprouts - which is completely opposite of how I grew up. I remember my mom would make a bag of frozen brussels and they were always mussy and gross. We would have to eat one brussels sprout and I would gag the entire time. Needless to say, I thought I never… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Dijon Aioli
It's feeling like summertime here in PA and that calls for a fancy lemonade! This lemonade concentrate is so good and would be perfect for a cocktail too - just add an ounce of gin or vodka to each glass. The ginger and thyme are subtle and make lemonade a little unique and different. The… Continue reading Ginger Thyme Lemonade
I picked up a pack of portobello mushroom caps at Costco the other week. I love all types of mushrooms and portobello are one of my favorite varieties.
