Cauliflower and White Cheddar Soup
Cauliflower – we have become rather close over the years. It wasn’t always this way. In the beginning, I’d say we were just good acquaintances. At some point I began to roast you and we became friends. Snacking on you steamed and dipped in ranch or hummus – also yummy. I even cut you up…
Stuffed Peppers
Over the last couple of years we have eaten these stuffed peppers a variety of ways. It has taken me a little while to perfect this recipe so just know that this is the best it has been! I tried making the filling, filling the peppers, baking and then eating – the peppers were to…
Ginger Snaps
My grandmother gave us a tin of homemade cookies every year for Christmas. Inevitably there would be ginger snaps in the mix. It was the only time of year that we ate ginger snaps and it was never a cookie that my mom would buy so I was always so excited for them. That isn’t…
Sloppy Joes
When you grow up with a mom as a vegetarian, you tend to not enjoy meat very much. Now, I love my mom. She was amazing at just about anything she did. Except cooking. She had a few things that she did well but cooking meat was not one of them. Hence, why I became…
Breakfast Tacos
It’s taco Tuesday! In my world, you can have tacos any day, especially breakfast tacos. These are easy and a fun way to dress up breakfast food, whether you eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are so versatile and everyone can make them just the way they like! We do meals like this…
Creamy Pasta with Bacon and Onion
Do you need a quick weeknight meal? This is one of our family’s favorites. Of course, who doesn’t like pasta? One great thing about this is that it doesn’t matter what kind of noodle you have in your pantry. Just about any kind will work. I love the cork screw, cellantani as in the picture.…
Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Some recipes make me very nostalgic. This is one of them. It makes me miss my mom. Her hand written recipe, memories of winter mornings when she would have a fire going (yes we had an actual wood burning fireplace in South Florida), waking up to the warm cinnamon smell. It will be 19 years…
Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle
I love a good trifle! Why? Because you get three, maybe more depending on the recipe, desserts in one! We were at a friends house in Pennsylvania a few years ago and she served a version of pumpkin trifle. We all loved it so I decided to recreate it on my own. I knew for…
Creamy Potato Soup
If you are like me, fall comes along and all you want to eat is soup. Well, soup and everything with pumpkin. And hot chocolate. Oh, let’s face it, I want to eat everything all the time. Anyway, cooler temps make me want to eat nice warm cozy food. The other day, Luke had braces…
Pumpkin Bread
This is hands down my most requested recipe. Every Christmas I make loaves and loaves of pumpkin bread and we give them to neighbors, friends, family, teachers, bus drivers, garbage men, the mail man, the list goes on. Every year I get at least 3 or 4 requests for the recipe. Really, people, it is…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
