Holiday meals are centered around that one main dish. But I’d try to argue that there is a food in a supporting role that is not just equally important, but maybe even better than the main dish. And that is the bread or roll. I’ve partnered with Great Midwest Cheeses to make delicious…
Roasted Balsamic Walnut Grape Brussels Sprouts
The parts of living in California that I have fallen in love with are both the food and the wine. The food because it’s so fresh and abundant and the wine, because…well it’s wine country after all. I was excited to work with Grocery Outlet for finding the perfect food to pair with some…
BBQ Oven Roasted Cabbage
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…
Garlic Rosemary Baked Artichokes
Growing up as a picky eater, I didn’t eat a lot of vegetables. But there was always one exception: Artichokes. I know this sounds weird, but I loved eating them as a kid. Dipping them into butter was probably the main reason. Now that I’ve begun experimenting in the kitchen, I’ve found that I really…
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…
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…
