Strawberry Banana Trifle
I like pretty food. Trifles are pretty. I love that you can see all the layers, the more colorful the better. Not only are trifles pretty, but they taste good too. I have never had a trifle that I didn’t like. This Strawberry Banana Trifle is no exception. One key ingredient in any trifle is…
Salmon Patties
I never ate fish until I was married. True story. This is a FL girl confessing that I grew up 5 minutes from the Inter-coastal Waterway and never ate fish. It is a sad story. I can’t say I am completely converted to all things fish, however, I would say eating salmon about once a…
Artichoke Dip
A friend of my mother-in-law gave Andy and I this recipe for our wedding. It came in a box with two cans of artichokes and garlic powder. How cute is that? And how did she know that this would soon become one of my go-to recipes for parties? I’ve tweaked it a little over the…
Fruit Dip
This is a super easy fruit dip recipe. Only three ingredients! If you want to add a little something to your fruit tray, give it a try! Creamy, sweet, with a hint of orange. A sweet addition to a fruit tray.
Zucchini Bread
Do you have zucchini coming out of your ears? I do! I have learned to only plant one zucchini plant because that produces more than enough for our family. I can’t give them away fast enough! I am going to be posting some of my favorite ways to eat zucchini. It is a very versatile…
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
What? Zucchini in a cookie? We eat it in bread don’t we? Why not a cookie? I have to say, these cookies all but disappear when I make them. They are GOOD! Because zucchini has such a high percentage of water, even after squeezing it out as much as you can, the cookies tend to…
Grilled Zucchini Caprese
Fast and easy, healthy and delicious. There is not much more to say. When you have tomatoes and zucchini taking over your garden, this is a great way to get rid of some. Either a healthy lunch or a nice appetizer, you can’t go wrong. The balsamic vinegar reduction adds a zing of flavor. I…
Zucchini Fries
In my opinion, this is the best way to eat zucchini. Not the healthiest, but the best. What food doesn’t taste better fried, right? This is breaded, crispy goodness. Dip it in some marinara, even better! When I made these a few weeks ago, Luke made his own pretty impressive creation. I think he’s got…
Popovers
Chances are that if you are from New England, you have had a popover. I grew up eating popovers and the most memorable thing about them is “Don’t open the oven while they are cooking.” Somehow food with specific rules like that seemed more special. I made some the other day and was re-explaining to…
Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
Let’s be honest, bread pudding is not very photogenic. Not all food can be pretty. Despite it’s looks, it tastes fantastic. First, we have to talk about bread pudding. I have to say, it is not exactly the top 10 desserts that you see on a menu, however, it is one of my favorites…
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…
