Soup is one of my absolute favorite things to make. It’s easy, is a good way to use up odds and ends in the kitchen, and keeps well (with one pot, you can have lunch for a whole week that’s just as good three days later!). My latest creation: a spinch and cauliflower soup that hits…
From one foodie to another, there is nothing I would love more than to spend all of my days making stockings full of amazing foodie gifts! Small cooking and baking items are often overlooked - they’re not necessarily the most glamorous and they don’t have hefty price tags - but they literally can change your…
The Christmas tree is up and we're just past Thanksgiving, but I am still full on in fall / winter vegetable mode! One of my favorites -- and honestly, a beautiful recipe that looks harder than it is -- are Harissa Roasted Carrots with Pumpkin Sage Hummus recipe from Crowded Kitchen. The end result is…

Roasted nuts are one of my total weaknesses. The salty / sweet (and sometimes spicy) combo is one of my absolute favorites. I was sending a holiday package - for the Food52 Holiday Swap! - and knew these would ship beautifully, so made a double batch of these Sweet & Spicy Rosemary Cashews. I think…
I have been aboslutley dying to make this Tortellini Soup with Italian Sausage & Kale from one of my all-time fav foodies, The Modern Proper, and finally had the chance the other day! You could actually taste the excitement in the air as I decided this is what I was going to do with my…

When life gives you.... noodles..... you make Chicken Noodle Soup! My dad gave us a batch of homemade noodles during our last visit, so we had to whip up something phenomenal! Chicken Noodle Soup can sometimes be a little bland / flat / tasteless, so I was searching for on the that really brought more…

With that, a gorgeous rendition of crispy roasted rosemary sweet potatoes came across my Instagram feed, and I knew I had to marry the two. Enter Roasted Spiced Sweet Potatoes with…

I was home alone this weekend (not creepy to write that now, the time has passed! Although I started watching Luther this weekend so was thoroughly terrified the whole time haha - we'll save that one for another post). With so much time to myself, the cooking plans were pretty through the roof. I also…
The pumpkin kick continues! Thank goodness pumpkins aren't just for Halloween and are perfect for Thanksgiving (and really, all of winter!), otherwise I would never get enough! I used to make hummus often because once you have the ingredients (or maybe you're someone that just normally has tahini in the house!), it's really so easy…
Ok, ok, so in an effort to get rid of our Halloween pumpkin, we made Short Rib & Pumpkin Chili, but then we were left still with extra pumpkin. And I can't stand throwing food away, so threw on a quick soup to simmer while the chili was cooking! This season, second to chili, soup…
