Cream Chipped Beef and Toast – Ready to make your own culinary memories? Whip up a batch of this classic comfort food and discover how it can become a cherished tradition in your family’s repertoire. I have such a wonderful memory associated with the first time I tried Cream Chipped Beef and Toast. Growing up there was an idyllic state park near my home that had a wooded picnicking area situated along a large reservoir with a beach for swimming. It was the sort of reservoir that had banks lined with tall, old-growth trees that reflected across the water along with the blue sky littered with f ..read more

Harvest Butternut Rice Pilaf – With a flavor profile similar to holiday stuffing, this hearty and healthy dish is a perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey! It feels good to finally break a three month blogging silence with this recipe for Harvest Butternut Rice Pilaf!

I’m going to school to train to be a nurse practitioner and I made the ill-advised choice of doubling up my classes this past fall. Who would have thought that nurse practitioner training would b ..read more

Spaghetti Squash Fritters – Forget the marinara… These fritters are the perfect way to transform your spaghetti squash into something fun, flavorful, and totally unique! A good seasonal cooking food blog can’t let the fall season pass by without a good winter squash recipe.

Aloo Beans – With hints of cumin, coriander, and cardamom, this dish has a warm, aromatic flavor that’s sure to spice up your green bean routine! Green beans are one one of two vegetables (broccoli being the other) that my kids are guaranteed to each without much complaining. As such, we eat steamed green beans with butter, salt, and pepper just about every week. Don’t get me wrong, I love green beans, but sometimes I just get so sick of their bland, kid-style preparation. That’s where a little curry comes in… Over the last couple of years I’ve actually been slowly training my kids to like I ..read more

Very Veggie Mushroom Ravioli – Although the product of a hard time, this simple, delicious recipe provides a whole lot of comfort and flavor. Have you ever made something with what was left in your almost-empty refrigerator that ended up being a truly delicious hit? Today’s recipe for Very Veggie Mushroom Ravioli falls into that category for me. Because it’s so easy to make (and delicious), I’ve been meaning to publish it here for quite some time, but it’s actually kind of a sad recipe for me so I’ve been holding off.

Rosemary Parmesan Dipping Crostini – Make your party dips and spreads shine this holiday season with this savory and delicious homemade crostini! Have you ever gone to a party that had delicious dips and spreadable cheeses, but terrible, store-bought crostini? I know I have! It’s unfortunate, because they’re so easy to make and something as simple as bad crostini and ruin a remarkable spread or dip! This flavorful version of crostini is made with a bakery-bought rosemary loaf and is seasoned with olive oil and parmesan. I made it in a dipping shape to match perfectly with my Roasted Red Pepp ..read more

Roasted Red Pepper Dip – This zesty appetizer is great at summer picnics, but its festive color also makes it perfect for your Christmas or New Year’s party! This Roasted Red Pepper Dip is my all-time favorite easy appetizer. It takes all of five minutes to make and it’s popping with sweet red pepper flavor paired with savory olive oil. This is extra tasty when seasoned with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. If, like me, you enjoy some heat, the perfect finishing touch is crushed red pepper, but that’s totally optional. I like to serve this recipe at picnics in the summertime, but its color ..read more
