it’s saturday, so i figured i’d post about everyone’s favorite weekend morning breakfast… PANCAKES. there isn’t always time to make them on weekdays and we’ve kind of made it a saturday morning tradition around our house. this morning was the first time the little she helped me make them. i pulled up a chair for…

mixed berries with mascarpone whipped cream
this just might be the perfect spring dessert. but we had some friends over this weekend, and it was just what the doctor ordered… even thought it’s the dead of winter. and it’s really simple, requiring only berries and a few more ingredients. the berries are sweetened with sugar and then the tartness from the…
mediterranean bruschetta
i love bruschetta. LOVE. (yes, even though i am usually a tomato-hater. odd, isn’t it? ) and who doesn’t love a good, salty kalamata olive? and possibly no (normal) human can turn down feta cheese. i have this recipe that i jotted down years ago for mediterranean bruschetta (no clue where it came from). it…
kahlua cake
how does that picture make you feel? mmmmnn, seeing all that chocolate gooey goodness makes me serenely warm and happy inside. maybe it’s just because i am a girl and well, girls like chocolate. i made this last week for girls night and it was DEvoured. besides the taste of the cake that makes you…
creamy baked chicken taquitos
for a long time, i was unable to find a really good taquito recipe that did not involve frying. they are always fried (traditionally) and i am just not the frying type. no thank you. so i came across this one and was excited to try it, although i was a little skeptical. but it…
homemade cheese crackers
something i am beginning to realize about myself is that i get in baking mode as soon as i see snow on the ground. i just want to hole up all day long and bake. bake bake bake. and this week, on the day we got a little snow, i did just that. i made…
asian turkey meatballs
these little gems were a lovely surprise this week. i was skeptical, them coming – randomly – from the disney family website (i have NO earthly clue how i originally got this recipe, although i think the link was sent to me by a family member). i had read through the ingredients and the instructions…
santa fe chicken tacos (crockpot)
i made this a few months back (and have made it several times since) and completely forgot to share it with y’all! a good friend reminded me of it yesterday and it just may be going in the crockpot this week. now, if you know me, you know that in my past i have not…
open faced grilled cheese – a tip
who doesn’t love a good grilled cheese sandwich? all that ooey gooey cheese on toasty bread, right out of the oven… the little she gobbles it up as if nothing has ever tasted so good in her short life. now, the open faced grilled cheese sandwiches i grew up with were good (made with mustard…
chicken enchiladas – red sauce version
oh, enchiladas! where would we be in life without enchiladas!? i would be in a sad, dark place for sure. now usually you’ll find chicken enchiladas with a verde or tomatillo sauce, which is what i always order at any mexican restaurant. but these are such a lovely departure from the standard. and oh so…
gnocchi mac & cheese
now this isn’t exactly mac & cheese. it’s wayyy better. you take out the pasta part and replace it with tender, comforting potato dumplings. gnocchi. lovely gnocchi. and it’s incredibly kid-friendly. i mean, the gnocchi is covered in crusty, melty cheese and each dumpling is the perfect size for little fingers to grab. gnocchi mac…
sweet potato pudding with pecan and gingersnap streusel
as i was going through last year’s bon appetit thanksgiving issue looking for recipe ideas for our holiday dinner party, i stumbled upon this little treasure. it is a yummy twist on the traditional sweet potato dish with marshmallows. after making the base batter, you fold in a homemade meringue, which makes it refreshingly light…
