There are on many occasions where friends and family have a barbecue or cookout and forget to have a vegetarian option. Potato salad is delicious, but can’t count as a meal (it’s too much mayo anyways). I recently saw a video on Bon Appetit for a BBQ beer can cabbage and thought both how ridiculous…
Rosemary Brown Butter Shallots
There are few vegetables that I truly look forward to eating. Yup, pretty weird to hear that from a food blogger. But I grew up as a picky eater and am only now slowly dipping my toes into the world of vegetables and odd foods. I have a rule that wherever I travel, I eat…
Creamy Onions au Gratin
Nothing is better than updating an old family classic. I made Creamy Onions au Gratin for my Thanksgiving and Holiday meals -an update from the pearl onion recipe my grandmother would make! Let’s talk about one of the least favored vegetables; the onion. Yes it’s often seen as essential in cooking but it’s rarely the…
Layered Ratatouille
Bounjour mes amis! Aujourd’hui je vous présente le meilleur ratatouille! Or in english, today I’m sharing with you THE BEST ratatouille. Yes it’s the name of the Pixar movie and no, there was no actual rat involved with the making of this dish. Ratatouille is one of my favorite movies. Who doesn’t like…
Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Another day, another challenge from a coworker to update a favorite recipe. I love being challenged and my coworkers like to give me ideas of what to bake. I mean, they get the treats after I’m done baking and shooting them, so they are REALLY invested in helping me come up with ideas. This…
Summer Squash Casserole
Nothing says summer quite like summer squash. I mean it’s in its name and everything too. I guess I’m being a little too literal but HEY it is true. Normally I just pan fry my summer squash but I was itching to make a recipe that really featured this veggie. And oh boy did…
Toasted S’mores Bar
Summer wouldn’t be complete without s’mores! But instead of those messy ones on a stick, I’ve made a great Toasted S’mores Bar that’s perfect for all of you picnics, potlucks, barbecues and weddings this summer! AND if you’re like me and living in a tiny apartment, you can make these without a campfire. Score! …
Dill Pickle Red Potato Salad
In the season of picnics, BBQs and potlucks, there is one dish that often goes ignored and underutilized; The potato salad. How often do you go to a cookout and see a sad potato salad made of just potatoes and mayonnaise, sitting neglected on a picnic table in the sun? Too often, or rather…
One-Pan Broccoli Cheddar Mac and Cheese
The middle of the week just hits you. It’s all like WHAM! You suddenly have a lot to do and all of it is usually due on Friday. Great. BUT one trick I’ve learned to help manage the stress of midweek is to make an easy supper. I’m talking one pan; quick and fast….
Savory Mint Watermelon Salad
A few weeks ago I went to a food blogger conference in Salt Lake City and of course at a food blogger conference, the main focus is the food. The catering at the conference was superb and one of the dishes that I was most excited to try was a watermelon salad. I’ll admit…
