Chive Risotto Cakes
I first heard about these Chive Risotto Cakes from Sarah over at Sarah’s Place, and knew I had to try them for myself! The recipe is from Ina Garten who in my eyes can do no wrong! Chives are one of my favorite herbs, and these risotto cakes are filled with subtly onion-y chive flavor....
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fun Cake
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend – I sure did! A few friends and I recently started a Supper Club. We try to get together monthly (or as often as our schedules will allow!) and take turns hosting. Everyone brings something to contribute to the meal -apps, dessert, salad, WINE… it is...
Asparagus, Broccoli, and Green Onion Soup
Have you been looking to “go green”? Have I got the soup for you! This soup is so fantastic you wouldn’t even know it is also so healthy you could eat the entire pot and not feel guilty! Plus, it all comes together in about a half hour – does it get any better than...

Baked Barley Risotto with Butternut Squash
Have you all tried barley yet? You might be skeptical, as I was at first. “Barley? Isn’t that something cows eat?!?” But I read an article about the health benefits of barley and decided to try it out. And I am so glad I did! Barley has quickly turned into my new favorite grain. I...

Homemade Lemon Curd
Jackpot!! I am lucky enough to have a beautiful lemon tree in my yard at home AND at work. Around this time of year my diet tends to become much more acidic as I can’t resist harvesting these golden bursts of flavor. I picked these guys from the tree at work. They are really tart...

Whole Wheat Baguette

Lemon Meringue Pie…From Scratch!
Lemon meringue pie holds a special place in my heart. Ginny (my grandma) makes an amazing lemon meringue pie! When my siblings and I were kids we used to sneakily approach a freshly made lemon meringue pie and pick the peaks off the meringue because we just couldn’t wait until after dinner! So Ginny’s perfect...
