I had a lot of ambition to make so many different Christmas cookies this year, but it just didn't happen and time completely snuck away from me! Luckily, I got to make a few of my favs (maybe I'll just have to start calling them New Year cookies or something so I can make the…
The holidays are not over yet (or at least, I'm certainly still eating and baking like they're not!) and I knew I had to fit in this Holiday Star Bread! I had seen images of it and bookmarked them (let's be serious, I have a Google doc of recipes I want to make....) several times.…
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…
Since Thanksgiving (and those Harissa Roasted Carrots!), I'm really loving the addition of pomegranate with pretty much anything I can get my hands on. 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…

These Molasses Cookies are seriously so good (can I say crack? They taste like crack). I will say that when I…

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…
RIP Halloween decorations (yes, I still had a pumpkin in my house!). Lucky for me, we never carved it, and I made sure to buy a baking pumpkin so I could make something out of it when the holiday was over 🙂 This weekend was Mission: Get Rid of the Pumpkin, so when I found…
Thanksgiving is arguably the best holiday. You have basically zero obligations to go anywhere, get anyone a gift, or even really put on decent clothes (yoga pants to the rescue!). At our house, Thanksgiving is my dad's holiday. It's his absolute favorite and it's really his time to shine with all of his favorite recipes.…
