Accompaniments

When I look back on 2020 the one thing that will definitely stand out is the lack of travel. By no means would I call us “jetsetters” anymore (maybe pre-kids), but we do love our adventures, and in any given year we usually plan one […]

If you’re drooling just based on the photo alone, then read no further – this recipe is for you. There is almost nothing I appreciate more than fresh baked bread, especially now that we’re nearing the 2-weeks-of-quarantine mark. I’ve been leaning in to all of […]

Welcome to the new norm, quarantine day 4, where we bake our troubles away! In all seriousness though – as I try to pass the time (without a real end in sight) and keep the kids in engaged in something other than screen time, I’ve […]

Is there anything better than a fresh stack of fluffy pancakes in the morning? Almost nothing… except maybe this delicious Pancake Loaf. What better way to elevate this morning staple than by elevating it into a delicious fresh baked loaf. It is simple, versatile and […]

  This week was a foray into condiments for me, as we took full advantage of strawberry season to make a Strawberry BBQ sauce, a Strawberry Syrup (for ice cream sundaes!) and last but not least, this delicious Strawberry Cinnamon Jam, ALL FROM SCRATCH!  On […]

I have been eating avocados lately like they’re going out of style! I’m all about this nutrient-dense fruit (yes – it’s a fruit, not a veggie), whose health benefits seem endless. Marc will laugh at me for writing this, but I’ve even jumped on the […]

Every year when we carve our pumpkins, I am determined to do something with the left over pumpkin seeds. Last year we roasted them and seasoned them with a little salt and pepper but they seemed to be missing a little something. This year we […]

These rolls are simply to die for! They will transport you to any farm-to-table restaurant in a heart beat. They remind me of those Parker House rolls you often see on menus (and for some reason they charge you extra for?!). And yet they’re so […]

We love to make as much as we can from scratch, especially bread – Marc is addicted to his bread maker!  And nothing goes better with bread that a delicious creamy butter, especially if it too is homemade. Believe it or not, churning your own […]

You know how they say it’s the little things that make all the difference?  Roasted garlic is one of those things.  Roasting a head of garlic could not be simpler, but the uses for it in the kitchen are endless.  A few of our favorites: […]
