Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Do you like cooking with your kids?  This isn’t a trick question. I can see why some people love it. I can also see why some people hate it.  Kids have a tendency to make things either a lot more fun or a lot more 

Picnic Chicken

Picnic memories are always kind of happy memories, aren’t they?  Think about it: do you have any not-so-fond memories of a picnic?  Sure, some are better than others, but are they ever really bad?  No, not really.  The word picnic, for me, conjures up happy 

Baked White Beans with Bacon and Breadcrumbs

Oh, spring, you tricky little vixen.  You’re hot, you’re cold.  You’re sunny, you’re rainy.  If it weren’t for the air being slightly, wondrously scented with the hint of rain, and the daffodils poking their heads through the grass, and the fuzz of green buds covering 

Sweetcorn Cornbread

I love this time of year- the few weeks between summer and fall, when the air is crisp and cool, but there are still so many beautiful summer vegetables to be had.  It’s the perfect season for chili, stir-fries full of veggies, and creamy corn

Soy Sauce Marinated Pork Spare Ribs

Soy Sauce Marinated Pork Spare Ribs

Sometimes a recipe title just doesn’t do the dish behind it justice.  Soy sauce marinated ribs doesn’t exactly make you think best ribs ever, does it?  I honestly don’t even know what drew me to this recipe.  Maybe just that it’s simple, I had everything 

Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops with Orange-Mustard Sauce

Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops with Orange-Mustard Sauce

What is it about Autumn that makes us all feel so nostalgic?  Something about the sight of school buses making their way down my street and leaves crackling under my feet makes me feel wistful and reflective.  I mean, I know it’s the obvious stuff… 

Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata

Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata

I’ve never really felt compelled to make meatballs.  Or even order them at a restaurant for that matter.  So many times, meatballs are just that: ground meat, with little else mixed in, shaped into balls and plopped in an only slightly more interesting sauce.  Before
