Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and one thing I like to do is try and elevate some of my dishes. I take a dish that I would make for any Friday night and give it a little more pizzazz. Sweet potatoes are a classic fall side dish. They have so more potential than being simply … [Read more…]
As promised, here’s a new recipe to add to your Thanksgiving collection! What better way to ring in a Thanksgiving feast then pulling out a cast iron pan to make my (gluten-free) Pumpkin Cornbread! And it just feels so right to marry these two together. Just a disclaimer here, I didn’t end up using a … [Read more…]
End-of-Summer produce haul Why does summer always seem to FLY by? Maybe we’re all having too much fun (hopefully), or maybe we’re all too busy eating this delicious and fresh Watermelon Tomato Salad! This is a perfect use of your end-of-season tomatoes that you’ve worked hard to grow on your deck. I made the watermelon … [Read more…]
I was cleaning out my freezer the other day and I had a giant bag of frozen broccoli. I wasn’t really in the mood for roasted veggies, just craving something different. Looking in the fridge, I realized we had shredded cheddar cheese of course, the classic Broccoli Cheddar Soup immediately came to mind. Now sure, … [Read more…]

I love donuts! Lately I have been trying to watch what what I eat, but I love donuts. And what is Hanukkah (or is it Chanukah) without sufganiyot, the delicious filled donut treats? Jews traditionally eat lots of foods fried in oil on Hanukkah, to commemorate the small flask of oil that was found in … [Read more…]

The PSL (pumpkin spice latte) trend starts probably just after Labor Day, but since Thanksgiving is next week (seriously, right?), a pumpkin recipe … [Read more…]
Since Sukkot is just around the corner (yup, starts this Friday night), Daniel and I thought “why not a soup challenge”? Well, you may not have asked, but we answered!

It’s a BASIL challenge! It’s been a hot (potato) minute since Daniel and I decided to do an ingredient challenge, since we’ve both been dabbling in the herb and veggie growing scene since the start of the pandemic.
