The Sierra Nevada Brewing Instagram feed strikes again! I was scrolling innocently enough through my IG feed the other day and low-and-behold…fish tacos! They looked so crunchy and delicious- I instantly had a craving for my own. Weirdly enough, I had some fish in the freezer so I actually had all the ingredients on hand- … More Beer Battered Fish Tacos
Scrolling through by Instagram feed the other day, I came across a post from one of my favorite beer companies that was so enticing. No- it wasn’t a bottle of beer- instead it was biscuits! Yeah, these babies were splayed across my screen and they were beckoning me to stop and look…and figure out why … More Cheddar Beer Biscuits
Ahhh- pantry staples! In this time of trying to go to the store less (and have less contact with humans!) I am looking for meals that use a lot of staples, peppered with fresh ingredients, that I don’t always have to be running to the store for. In my quest to rediscover some cookbooks of … More Lemon Spaghetti
Ahhh- butter lettuce! Amongst all the different kinds of leafy greens there are, this one has to be my favorite. Romaine is the workhorse of lettuce- carrying the hearty toppings and always there when you need it. Spinach is a nice change when you want something darker and, in my opinion, fancier. But butter lettuce…it’s … More Lettuce Wraps
Giada is amazing, and if you have never read one of her cookbooks or watched one of her shows, then you are really missing out on the gem of Italian cooking. I bought her Everyday Italian cookbook maybe 15 years ago when I was first getting into cooking. I have referenced recipes in it here … More Crostini with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Chickpeas
I have a love affair going on…with a blog. In all fairness, there is a person who writes all the blog posts, so I guess you could say I’m in a love affair with The Smitten Kitchen (aka Deb)! Unfortunately it is a very one-sided thing as I am sure she has no idea who … More Pizza Beans
Last week I received my magazines for the month – which is one of my favorite things. I love sitting down with a good magazine and getting lost in recipes, design ideas, and fashion. My go-to magazines right now are Real Simple, Sunset, and weirdly enough, Better Homes & Gardens (the last being something that … More Slow-Roasted Citrus Salmon
*You might have noticed I’ve changed the format of the blog a bit. Instead of blogging five days a week (too much!) I’m now bringing it down to a more manageable three times a week. You were probably getting sick of hearing from me anyway… I was clicking through Pinterest the other day – which … More Lentil and Bean Chili
Yesterday you saw the majesty that was homemade hummus and roasted carrots. Almost a perfect meal, right? I thought this meal looked mighty tasty, but it was missing an element. Right when I finished flipping through Sunset magazine, I happened to pick up my Cravings cookbook by Chrissy Teigen and low and behold she had … More Skillet Bread
I have been a huge fan (and constant subscriber) to Sunset magazine for years. It’s my favorite guilty pleasure of the month. I usually try and sit down with a glass of wine and thumb through each issue. I dream about vacations I want to embark on, mentally redecorate my house with their fun finds, … More Roasted Carrots with Red Lentil Hummus
right turn ahead
