Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
Salad dressing seems oddly expensive to me… And honestly, there aren’t a lot of them out there that I really like. Usually, I just go with some olive oil, sometimes with maybe a dash of balsamic vinegar, and call it a day. But last week I got a craving for Ranch that I couldn’t shake.
Breakfast has always been my favorite meal. I’d eat breakfast food for every meal of every day. That said, I’ve never made biscuits and gravy for myself. Well, today the want for biscuits and sausage gravy in this house has come to an end!
I have a family recipe box full of old, weird recipes that use mayo, jello, and marshmallows far too often. While digging out my recipe for banana bread I spotted a recipe titled: “Mayonnaise Rolls.” Hooo boy!, it sounded both intriguing and disgusting—I had to try it!
Following our summer travels to Italy and France this past summer, the husband and I were anxious to eat more of the amazing bread we had nearly every day of our vacation. This focaccia really fits the bill!
Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… any time of day is a good time of day for a piece of quiche. And the best part about quiche is that it is so very versatile!
Cacio e pepe is a traditional Roman meal. It’s warm and cheesy and oh-so-comforting. So why on earth would I mess with perfection? Call me crazy, but I’m always looking for new and different ways to get that comfort-food feeling out of what I already have in my cupboard.
No matter the temperature, no matter the season, I very much like to make soup. Soup is one of those meals that is hearty and filling but also never leaves you feeling so full you’re uncomfortable. Plus, it’s comforting and easy to make to boot!
This vegan mushroom stroganoff is so comforting and satisfying. It’s rich and filling and has an amazingly small amount of butter for how super creamy it is. And though it seems like a lot of work, it’s really pretty quick and easy to pull together! Give it a whirl, girl!
I know that summer is upon us and cool drinks, light meals, and evenings out with friends are what we normally crave. Warm soup is not usually on that list. But I’m telling you this soup is just as wonderful in the summer as it is in the winter.
I’m usually a fan of the heavier type sauces; your red sauces, cream sauces, and cheesey type sauces. Well, the husband usually favors a lighter sauce so I try to make them every so often ;-)
This toasted sesame hummus is full of warm and savory spices to fill your senses as well as your hummus-loving belly! This one I came up with on a whim and It is certainly one I will be making again!
I have several friends that had been to Redcrest and raved about it. I didn’t realize that they had a pretty extensive vegan selection which was confusingly good. How do they do it????
Not only was the vegan sushi amazing, it was beautifully presented and very unique in it’s composition. A+ and 5 stars. I will definitely be back!
Who am I to dis a brie? …if you’ve not guessed by now, I love cheese. And I make mac and cheese a lot. I mean, a lot a lot. So the other night I thought I’d try a more high-class variation on my traditional mac & cheese side dish.
I made a version of this sauce on a whim a couple of years ago and the husband has not stopped asking for it since. We both love Thai cuisine and this is my version of a common Thai-style peanut sauce that is quick to whip up and really satisfying!
I was looking for something new to try and, since I’ve been on a bit of a Beyond Meat sausage kick, I decided to mix things up and go with a savory snack rather than an evening meal—mini hand pies to the rescue!
You caught me. You found me out. I confess: I love hummus. Buy why shouldn’t I???? Hummus is infinitely customizable and full of protein… and OH SO good. However you make it, hummus is super quick and easy.
A party is not complete without a big bowl of warm nacho cheese and chips to dip. I mean, who doesn’t like nacho cheese?? Monsters, that’s who.
