This salad! WOW. I am fully in love with this salad. My friend Liz (of Liz’s Roasted Broccoli Salad fame) brought this salad to our dinner club a few weeks ago. We had a French-ish theme – charcuterie, French onion soup, beef bourguignon, creamy potatoes, homemade bread, and creme brûlée. LOL. And then there was Liz’s salad. It was like a little beacon of brightness in a sea of cream, butter, and cheese. I would (and have) eat this as a salad on its own, but the contrast of this with, say, a beef stew, or a really cheesy panini, or a big bowl of luscious mushroom soup – that’s where this sala ..read more

Temps are dropping, days are shortening, and we’re getting hungry for all things cozy and warm – pretty sure it’s all just a scheme of the universe to get us to bust out our slow cookers.

Magic + delicious + easy: this is how we roll around here. Let’s just address this right off the bat – there is absolutely a certain amount of food-fancy-ism in the cooking world related t ..read more

This recipe is sponsored by ALDI. These cream cheese danishes are a thing of beauty! Croissant dough layered with cream cheese, twisted up and baked with a pool of jam on top, and a drizzle of buttery glaze to finish. The sugared cranberries on top are just the bonus for decoration and a bite of tart crunch. Hoo, wow, I’ve been eating them on the reg lately, and those layers of cream cheesy goodness hit just right when they are warm out of the oven. This is my current weakness. And best of all? Everything here is from ALDI – they’re really bringing the holiday magic this year at really afforda ..read more

Announcing… The Holiday Bucket List! Most of my holiday traditions are based around Christmas, so in my family we are entering an incredibly tradition-rich, nostalgic, and charming time of year – familiar holiday music, the warm cozy glow of candles, the faces of people we love, babies in Christmas jammies (omg), twinkly lights on the frosted trees outside. And maybe best of all, the house is filled with the warm smells of classic recipes that make their appearance just a few times each year. So this season we’re channeling all of the holiday food magic of the holidays into something brand ne ..read more
