Oatmeal Apple Pear crisp is one of my fall favorites. I especially love this version because the pears add SO much to this dessert favorite! Nothing says fall quite like an apple crisp. Growing up in the country, we would always make this favorite and one of my favorite versions is Oatmeal Apple Pear Crisp. Yes…
Apple Cider Chicken
Every fall I go a little overboard and buy gallons upon gallons of apple cider. Don’t judge me, it’s just tastes too good to pass up and it’s usually available only in fall. That being said, I guess I am a little too obsessed, but anyways. This year I decided to try cooking with…
Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash
One of my favorite fall foods is squash. Recently I’ve fallen in love with how versatile it is. It can easily go sweet with some butter and brown sugar or savory like with these Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash. Either way, it’s absolutely delicious. When I was a teenager I worked on a farm…
Pan Seared Pork Chops with Cinnamon Spiced Apples
Fall is definitely coming. I know it seems too soon to think about but Labor Day is right around the corner and the sky is suddenly getting dark early again. And while I’m not looking forward to winter (which the Old Farmer’s Almanac is saying will be the coldest on record!), I am looking…
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,…
One Pan Garlic and Herb Chicken with Pasta
It’s happening soon….School is starting up again and summer is ending for kids. Even though it’s been a few years since I finished college, I still feel that same decline in August as summer is winding down and back to school sales are everywhere. And it starts to become that time again where we…
Blueberry Pecan Bread Pudding
Bread Pudding, as I have come to know it, combines two of the worlds best meals; breakfast and dessert. It has the sweetness and deliciousness of your favorite dessert but the bread and the carbs of your favorite breakfast. When I went to Disney World with Tai and my family earlier this year I…
Zucchini Ribbons with Basil Pesto
Summer is amazing right? Everything just feels so vibrant and full of life. I love going to the farmer’s market during the summer because it is just so full and exciting. Each stall is packed with fresh fruits and veggies, it’s hard to not be impressed. I decided to make a dish from items found…
Spicy Fiesta Chicken with Queso Sauce
There’s something about hot summer days that make me crave Mexican food. Maybe I need my food to be as hot as it is outside, but the spicer it is, the better it tastes. I had been craving some sort of Mexican food all week and couldn’t wait to start experimenting this weekend. And…
Spicy Orange Chicken Stir Fry
Do you ever get that feeling where you crave takeout Chinese food but you know it’s too hot out to actually eat takeout Chinese food? Yup, that was me this week. New York has hit a scorching 90+ degrees everyday this week, and it feels even hotter when you factor in humidity. Don’t even…
