Whenever I am looking for a delicious dish, I always turn to Ina. Seriously, every single dish that I have tried of hers is always pretty amazing. I am so confident in the deliciousness of her food that I have actually made Ina recipes that I have never even tried before and served them to company. Isn’t that the number one rule for entertaining: NEVERĀ serve something that you have not…

Well last week just wasn’t my week. On Tuesday, the AC died. Yep. The joys of home ownership. So while the repair people were quick to tell us that we needed an entirely new air conditioning system, they couldn’t replace the unit for an entire week. That’s right. No AC with a forecast in the mid-eighties (and one in the low nineties) for the next seven days. I know, I know. It could…
The past two weeks have been crazy and there has been little time to post! Between snow days and work obligations and swim classes for G, I have barely had time for sleep. Okay, that is a bit dramatic but you get the idea. The big day is here and I would be the worst if I didn’t get this recipe up before the weekend. I mean, could you think…
You should probably make this now. Why? Because it is delicious, obviously. Plus, it pleases both the man and the woman. It is healthy, but it tastes decadent. It is packed with all the flavors of chili then tossed with quinoa and baked with a little bit of cheese. The perfect comfort food. Yes, I went there. And if that wasn’t convincing enough, Andrew the H declared (and this is…
We’re making candy, y’all! Listen, I am not going to lie and pretend that making caramel is easy. Or that I didn’t accidentally burn the first batch. And that it wasn’t rock hard. I guess this is what optimists call brittle. Anyway, I love a good cooking challenge and had yet to cross candy off the list. So a little burnt caramel wasn’t going to deter me. The good news…
This breakfast casserole is a Christmas morning staple in our house. It is incredibly easy to throw together the day before and then you just pop it in the oven an hour before you would like to serve it. Sausage and apples are a delicious combo and honestly, they are so subtle in this dish. You could leave them out if you’d like, but they really do add a yummy…
Christmas morning has always been my favorite part of the year. I have such fond memories of waking up with my sister, often before sunrise, to dig into our stockings. Now, I prefer to sleep in until the sun comes up, but Christmas morning is still my favorite. I love snuggling around the fire in my Christmas pjs, slippers, and a cup of hot tea. We always have a delicious…
I swear, if I eat another cookie, there is a really good chance that I might turn into one. I have talked endlessly on PP about how much I love dessert. Honestly, there isn’t a dessert I’ve met that I haven’t really liked. But cookies are pretty much my weakness which makes this time of year both dangerous and delightful. I pinned these cookies a few weeks ago and treated…
