Hello friends! After a great deal of thought, we’ve decided to no longer update the blog until further notice. We intend to keep the archive up, so all posts will stay available. However, due to personal life changes and goals, we’ve decided to no longer provide monthly updates. These changes are by no means a…
Everyday Recipes
Moscow Mule Cocktail
Moscow Mules have been one of my favorite cocktails for a while now. The blend of spicy ginger and tangy lime is a great flavor combination! The only problem is I never had the “perfect” copper mugs to serve them in. I know it kind of seems silly, like c’mon, right? You can totally serve…
Eggnog Pumpkin Pie
Ah, eggnog and pumpkin pie! The most classic of holiday foods. Usually consumed separately, these two can be gloriously joined into one dessert–an eggnog pumpkin pie! How delicious is that? It’s actually a super easy substitution because one of the usual ingredients in a pumpkin pie is heavy cream. And that isn’t too far away…
Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Banana Bread
I love how banana bread can take so many forms. The recipe varieties are pretty much endless! For this recipe I got it into my head that I wanted a “pumpkin spiced latte” inspired recipe–because let’s be honest, I am a coffee addict. The funny thing is I have literally never ordered that drink at…
Roasted Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Soup
It’s soup season which also means it’s cold and flu season as well–oh joy! But it’s alright, this recipe will help get us through it. This recipe’s feature is the roasting chicken. Roasting a whole fryer chicken in the oven at a low temperature results in fall apart tender meat every time. The rest of…
Black Walnut & Bourbon Spiced Apple Cider
‘Tis the season for one of my favorite cocktails–spiced apple cider with a bit of a kick to it. This cocktail is super simple and delicious. I bet it would taste great warmed up but I haven’t tried it out yet. The secret to giving this drink a proper finish is the combination of bitters….
Spicy Sriracha Garlic Chicken & Rice
For everyone who has a sriracha addiction, you know that you can’t really go wrong with Sriracha. I mean, sometimes the “experiments” you do with this stuff will probably make the average person go, ‘you put that on what??’ Yep, sriracha goes with pretty much everything. The ones who are in the know understand where…
Tofu, Kimchi and Rice Soup
Sometimes I get weird cravings for certain foods and I recently had a major one for a super clean, healthful soup. I guess the definition of clean food is up for debate but, for me, this recipe meets my definition. It’s just a really simple Korean inspired soup full of veggies and flavor. This would…
Strawberry Rhubarb Smash Cocktail
I normally don’t post about cocktails but this one is such a perfect summer drink I had to share it. When farm stand strawberries are in their peak, this is a great way to take advantage of the bounty. You only need a few ingredients to whip this thing up but you do need a…
Flat Bread Italian Sausage Pizzas with Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms
In honor of the 4th of July, I decided to “Americanize” a traditional Italian food–pizza. And what could be more American than messing with a traditional cuisine? I had heard about flat bread being used as a substitute for dough but I had never tried it and was pretty skeptical at first. Italian Americans might…
Spiced Beef Fajita Tacos with Avocado Cream and Restaurant Style Salsa
For Cinco de Mayo I wanted to showcase one of my favorite “food truck” style taco recipes. As you can probably tell by my post history I am a big fan of tacos. I wanted to incorporate my favorite part about fajitas–the seasoned peppers and onions–into a taco recipe. The beef is seasoned with a…
Cream Cheese Strawberry Banana Bread
Who doesn’t love a big slice of banana bread and coffee for breakfast? I’m not even that into breakfast myself but this is probably my favorite. Simple, flavorful and easy to make ahead of time! The best part about the concept of banana bread is that it can be made as simple as you want…
