Blistered Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Lemon Ricotta
When I was figuring out what I was cooking/photographing/posting this week, this blistered heirloom tomato bruschetta with lemon ricotta was not on my list. I was thinking I’d bake all week. Then we hit that dreaded 90 degree mark, and I was like screw that! I am totally not turning on my oven. It was […]
Beer and Honey Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls
I feel like dinner rolls are such a fall/winter recipe. You don’t normally bake them in the dead of summer, mostly because of that whole turning on the oven thing. It was super hot here for a couple of days, but then it cooled down substantially. I was seriously craving some dinner rolls at this […]
Parmesan and Cashew Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders with Spicy Ketchup
Woo! It’s the first day of the NFL regular season! I’m a football fanatic. College … professional … you name it … I love it. I love the food that goes along with it even better though … obviously. I really wanted to celebrate the start of the regular season by making something I crave […]
Rocky Road Stout Brownie Cups

Chipotle Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Ahhhh, the joy that comes from eating a simple sweet potato fry. Sweet potatoes are uber trendy right now…as they should be! They are delish, and any way I can come up with to prepare them always seems to work out just perfectly. Sweet potato fries are a simple luxury. They don’t have to be […]
Perfect Breakfast Sandwiches with Spicy Gruyere Hollandaise
It wasn’t until just a couple of months ago that I found a deep love and understanding for breakfast sandwiches.They are perfect on-the-go, for a large crowd (can I get an assembly line?), or a quick weeknight breakfast solution. What I love most about them, is how fun you can get with them! They can […]
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

There’s just something about a cool fall morning, where the leaves are turning colors and falling off the trees, and you just want a cup of coffee and a muffin. I love muffins for breakfast. Even more so, I like a muffin for breakfast when they have already been baked and are ready to be […]
