Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. All ideas and opinions are my own. Scones, you guys. Scones. The holiday season is here, my to-do list is a million miles long, and I’m over here making scones like they’re going out of style. They’re not, of course, because scones are delicious and will never be…
Worth the Effort: Pain Aux Raisins
We’ve been told time and again that hard work is worth the effort, but here’s the real deal: Some things aren’t always worth the effort. Wrangling two kids into coats and hats to traipse through a foot of snow to go buy diapers when Amazon two-day shipping is just so free? Not worth it. Getting…
It’s Salad for Dinner! Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Potatoes and Chives
I love a good salad, but salad isn’t usually what comes to mind when I think of comfort food. Or super satisfying food. Or I’m-totes-craving-that food. This salad, though? Oh man, guys. This is the stuff. This warm chicken salad with roasted potatoes and chives has everything you’d want in a meal: fresh ingredients, a…
Summer Market Risotto
Ah, summer farmers markets. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning, especially when the weather’s nice and the stands are overflowing with such great stuff. And even if it’s a little too sticky outside to be comfortable, the bounty is usually worth it. No, it’s always worth it. I’d walk…
Farm, Family and Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
The dog days of summer are here, folks, and as much as I dread the hot and sticky season for its extreme hot and stickiness, I love what it means for family time. We just returned from a nearly five-week trek around the Midwest, two kids and a puppy in tow, and my heart is…
Becoming Bread Makers: Awesome Everyday Bread
Years ago, I think during his early college days, my older brother took up bread making. Every so often when he came home from school for the weekend, he’d stay up into the wee hours of the morning baking loaves of a simple honey wheat bread. I say simple, but the process always seemed pretty…
Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Mint and chocolate are one of the world’s great loves stories. You’ve heard it before, right? Once upon a time, there was a guy named Chocolate. He was hanging out one day, just being all rich and sweet, when the beautiful young Mint entered the picture. She was smart. She was strong. She didn’t need him…
Dessert Fix: 20-Minute Apple Turnovers
Some days are just ho hum, and you need a pick-me-up to turn things around. That, my friends, is when you must head to the kitchen. No, I’m not encouraging you to eat your feelings (though a once-in-a-while ice-cream binge never really hurt anyone, right?). But I am encouraging you to pour those feelings into…
Don’t get hangry: How to build the perfect breakfast tacos
I’m happy to report that we’ve made it through our first real Boston blizzard. There’s still so much snow outside (and it’s snowing right now), but aside from the bunches of snow, it was pretty uneventful. Wonderfully uneventful, actually. We certainly prepared for the blizzard like any normal people would: filled up extra bottles of water, made sure…
Snow Day Prep! Linguine with Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms
The whole Northeast is prepping for a gigantic wallop of a snowstorm, so, naturally, Target was a madhouse yesterday. Think holiday-sized crowds grabbing at end caps filled with water and snack foods (Super Bowl fare works well in blizzards, too, FYI), filling baskets with enough flashlights and peanut butter to last well into next week….
