I know…I know…I’m on a green chopped-up herby kick (see Pistachio Mint Pesto recipe from a few weeks ago)! It’s what I do when Spring comes around. All those greenies are so fresh & fragrant…and the lemons are tart…and put together it all tastes like Spring smells. New. Bright. Floral. Try this lovely gremolata on
Spring is springing!! What better way to celebrate the end of a dark, cold Winter than by baking up a batch of sunny, fresh lemon rosemary scones! Lemon & rosemary – two of my favorite tastes…and they taste even better together. Give a try & I guarantee you’ll be singing the praises of Spring! Ingredients
Basil pesto is one of my favorite things to make. But what’s a cook to do when the Summer basil’s not yet ready? Make other kinds of pesto – of course! In case you didn’t know, the word “pesto” originates from the Genoa word “pesto” which means to “pound” or “crush”. Typically comprised of 5
There is NOTHING like fresh pasta. The texture of I-just-channeled-my-Italian-grandmother-to-make-these-noodles is so different – chewy, soft, supple.

Regardless of your “foodie” status, you’ve probably heard about bone broth. It’s the current darling of the paleo community because of its high protein content. And because of that…you’d think it was just invented. Oh contraire! Bone broth has been around for literally ever…arguably since caveman days! It is basically stock…with a bit more cooking
Curries are one of my favorite things to cook. They are generally a dump-it-in, let-it-cook sort of meal, they can be adapted to use up whatever’s leftover in your fridge…and they are downright tasty!! This curry is one of my go-to recipes. It’s a really solid main course which tastes even better the next day.
I have to admit that I LOVE a recipe that takes basic, perhaps even boring, ingredients & turns them into something amazing! Such is the case with rösti, what many Swiss consider to be their national dish. To be clear – this is NOT a potato pancake. Potato pancakes are made from raw potatoes whereas
Skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs are one of the most economical protein sources out there. Unfortunately though, folks often shy away from them because of the skin & bones! But…once you’ve worked with them & experienced the deliciousness that the skin & bones add to dishes…you’ll look for ways to use them! Here’s a fabulous recipe
It’s starting to feel like Spring is a-comin’! The robins are filling the trees & warmer temps are getting me excited to be outside. I LOVE this time of year! I also LOVE the change in foods that Spring brings. It’s finally time to step away from the winter squashes & instead fill my grocery
