Truffles … Peanut Butter Truffles …
Yes, that’s right. Peanut. Butter. Truffles. Who doesn’t love a good truffle? They are the perfect little bite-sized treat to attack almost any and all of those sweet cravings. What was so surprising to me the first time I made them was how easy they were to make! Sure they require a little down time […]
Duck Fried Rice … with a Sunny Side Up Egg!
Yes, we are skipping the addition of “scrambled” eggs for this fried rice recipe and just dumping an egg on top at the end. Here is why…there is nothing I hate more in this world than a crusty, tough piece of scrambled egg. I think that it’s quite possible that I’ve only ever had fried […]
The Farmstead Cheese Board
With the cheese board I decided to make today, I went with an unconventional approach and decided to throw a bunch of different cheeses together. In particular, these cheeses are a few of my favorites. I never met a cheese I didn’t like. This includes the moldy cheeses, the soft cheeses and most importantly the […]
The Mediterranean Cheese Board
So, I’ve been wanting to pair beer and cheese together for a long time. I just really haven’t had the opportunity to do so. Since Zach and I only have 4 more days left in our current home and are packing like crazy, I thought that my love of cheese boards would be the best […]
Melon and Prosciutto Salad
Few things go better together than prosciutto and fruit, especially melon. Now, I know that it is yet to be “melon season,” but I just couldn’t help myself. The sweet and salty combination was calling my name, and I’m not talking about chocolate covered pretzels. Although, that does sound incredible right now. Hmmmm, maybe after […]
Sweet Potato Chili
I’ve never been a huge chili fan. Maybe it’s because that it’s just never prepared the way I like. Zach, however, is a HUGE chili fan, and in our attempt to eat less meat we decided to try to tackle a vegetarian chili. I know. It sounds strange. How can you even begin to make […]
Pumpkin Corn Muffins with Honey Butter
So I get into a muffin mood every once in a while. As a result, I am always trying to find cool ways to make them. This time I decided to try out a corn muffin, mostly because not only did I want something for breakfast this week, but I thought it would be a […]
Vegetarian Pot Pies
Vegetarian pot pies are the perfect way to impress your guests at your next dinner party!
So we attempted handmade rustic pappardelle…
…and it wasn’t a complete failure! Woohoo! Zach and I have yet to delve into buying a pasta machine. Sure we could go out and get the hand-cranked version. It’s cheaper, authentic, and looks pretty cool attached to the counter too. However, we have a great industrial strength stand mixer that has an attachment for […]
