I’m not sure about you but I am so excited and ready for Spring to finally be here. Minus still being sleepy from changing the clocks, I’m ready to get outside and really enjoy the spring weather. One of my favorite holidays is coming up too, Easter. Even though I’ve grown out of easter…
Loaded Bacon Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes
Loaded Bacon Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes are a favorite recipe of my boyfriend’s. Needless to say this recipe was a hit in our family! Loaded Bacon Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes have been a favorite of mine since childhood. I remember getting twice baked potatoes on only two types of occasions. The first whenever…
Leftover Christmas Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls
The holidays are just around the corner and I am unbelievably excited to be heading home and to see family. And although California has been treating us well, it doesn’t really feel like the holidays when it’s warm and sunny out. The forecast for New Hampshire? Cold and snowy -the perfect weather for Christmas!…
Balsamic Roasted Grape Crostini
I’ve had another California first, I bought the tastiest grapes I’ve ever had at the farmers market. Ok, well that does sound underwhelming but these grapes were picked that day and had the most intensely sweet grape flavor. It was nothing like I ever had before and I knew these were some grapes to have…
Creamy Herbed Ricotta and Asparagus Puff Pastry Tart
Asparagus was always one of those vegetables that I would avoid growing up and I’m not sure why because I really love it now. But as a kid you look at it and see that it’s weird, it’s shaped differently, it makes your pee smell and anything that’s in the realm of weird, you just…
Leftover Ham and Pineapple Bites
Leftover Ham and Pineapple Bites are the perfect holiday treat! Between having guests over for post Christmas gatherings, Football and New Years Eve coming up, you’ll be in need of some top notch recipes for entertaining. Better yet? Recipes that are using items that you already have in your fridge, such as that Christmas…
Cheesy Mexican Dip
Are you ready for some FOOTBALLLLLL FOOD?!? I am! Last night Tai and I were watching the game (Go Pats!) and I decided to throw together a Mexican dip. I had never made one before but knew what it had to be: Cheesy, creamy and meaty. The typical football messy appetizer. And you know…
Pear and Camembert Crostini
It is coming. FALL is coming. The temperature is still well above average and as I’m writing this in the 80s but the leaves have begun to brown and fall here in my corner of Brooklyn. At this point, I am ready. Bring on the sweater weather because I’m over the heat! While…
Saucy Beer BBQ Meatballs
Fall is the season of apple picking, pumpkin carving, wearing sweaters on a chilly day, long rides out to the countryside to see the folliage and most importantly FOOTBALL. I grew up in what is possibly the best era of sports for New England, the Belichick Dynasty and the Tom Brady empire. I may live…
Parmesan and Tomato Flatbread
It’s that time of year again, tomato season!!! The farmer’s market was absolutely full with tomatoes when I went on Monday. So obviously I bought as much as I could carry and have been making tons of veggie based recipes all week, much to Tai’s dismay (he is a fully fledged meat eating man,…
