A cure for what ails you: Roasted vegetable soup

A cure for what ails you: Roasted vegetable soup

Wintertime is wonderful for so many reasons, but getting a cold is not one of them. Unfortunately, a seasonal bout of sickies befell our casa last week. The grownups of the house are still in the thick of it, but little Beany is thankfully on the mends and rapidly gaining back all that toddler energy….

Chilly weather means chili weather

Chilly weather means chili weather

I had originally planned to begin this post with the line, “Fall has arrived in North Carolina!” And it had when I made this chili last week. It was a cool morning, the air was crisp and the leaves were blowing. I think the high that day was 58 degrees. It was beautiful. But you…

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

Cooking off the Cuff: A Makeshift Pasta Fresca

This probably sounds silly coming from a food blogger, but the more I write about food, the more I realize that recipes are not the be all and end all of cooking. In fact, some of my most successful kitchen moments as of late were born from my pantry rather than a cookbook. Slowly but…

Food for a fairy tale: Wheatberry salad

Food for a fairy tale: Wheatberry salad

Don’t you just love when an ingredient sounds like it was invented in a fairy tale? Beneath the leaves of an unassuming bramble bush, in a wooded field not far from your backyard, the wild wheatberries lie. They’re the tiniest of berries, no larger than a flea, and none too impressive in appearance, but please…

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Although I will always and forever be a winter girl at heart (hence the yearly stream of holiday tunes and bi-weekly watching of Christmas movies), there are plenty of things to love about springtime. After all, if the outside can’t be covered in snow, it might as well be green and leafy and flowery and…

Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy

Pretty on Pinterest = yummy in the tummy

The old adage says you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and in most cases that’s super sage advice. I can think of some great books I’ve read that would have been labeled absolute duds if left to rely on their dusty old jackets. When it comes to food, however, the same isn’t entirely…

Go ahead, bake some love

Go ahead, bake some love

I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus as of late. And no, this wasn’t the kick-up-your-heels, toes-in-the-sand, relaxy-taxi kind of hiatus. Rather, it was the holy-moly-I-have-so-much-to-do-my-brain-will-surely-explode-if-I-add-one-more-thing-to-my-to-do-list kind of hiatus. You know the kind, right? It’s when you go to bed around midnight and say to yourself, “That’s all I can do today. I’ll…

For the love of tinkering: Easy spinach enchiladas

It’s Friday the 13th! Eep! Fortunately, good eats are always a good idea, even for the most superstitious black cats on the block. These easy peasy enchiladas were whipped up in a flash this week, which was a good deal considering all we had going on. Work, school, baby doc appointment … (shots for the…

It’s flying from the stovetop! But it’s the prettiest of soups.

It’s flying from the stovetop! But it’s the prettiest of soups.

Some foods are so pretty that a single look is all it takes to fall in love. Some foods taste so amazing that one bite clears away all the stress and worries of the day. And then there are some foods that look so pretty and taste so amazing that it’s impossible to decide whether…

End-of-summer pizza

End-of-summer pizza

It’s officially September, officially post-Labor Day, and I’m so so ready for fall. I’m ready for the changing colors, the chilly air, the crunchy leaves on the ground outside. And the holidays. I’m always ready for the holidays. But amidst all my fall anticipation through the years, I’ve realized that I never give summertime the…
