Harvest Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad with Olive Vinaigrette

Harvest Vegetable and Goat Cheese Salad with Olive Vinaigrette

We don’t eat out much.  It’s expensive, I like to cook, and two of our dining companions make eating in public somewhat tricky.  By tricky, I mean terrible.  There is always so much crying.  And the kids aren’t too happy either. BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS.  

Skillet “Bread Gnocchi”

This is a weird recipe.  I know it.  So much so that for a long time I didn’t consider sharing it with you.  What’s more, I’m pretty sure I got the idea from Rachael Ray.  So half the world knows about it and the other 

Burst Tomato Galette with Corn and Zucchini

I’m not a vegetarian.  Far from it: one of my favorite things in the world is a thick, juicy cheeseburger.  At one point in my life, I pretty much threw in my chips with the “a meal isn’t a meal without some kind of meat” 

No-Knead Pizza Dough

So, I figured it was about time that I just went ahead and gave No-Knead Pizza Dough its own post.  Every time I toss a pizza recipe at you guys, I link up to the recipe that I use for dough as an afterthought.  But 

Croissant Ice Cream Sandwiches

YOU GUYS.  This is not so much a recipe as a public service announcement.  I’m not even going to waste time with a pithy little intro on this one.  I just need to cut straight to the chase: CROISSANT ICE CREAM SANDWICHES. I have made 

Nectarine and Blueberry Poppyseed Cake

There are a lot of good things about being a parent.  But there are also some pretty lame parts about being a parent. You know what one of the worst parts of being a parent is?  When you have to be mean mommy. You know… 

Pork Chops Adobado

The theme today is short and sweet.  Forgive me; it’s a Friday and I don’t feel loquacious, just week-weary. I don’t typically find grilled pork chops exciting.  Which, upon reflection, seems a bit weird.  I mean, I love pork.  I love other grilled foods, like 

Oatmeal Bread

Honestly, is there anything better than a tomato sandwich?  (Ok, I’ll pause now, while you glance up to the top of the post and make sure you read “Oatmeal Bread” right.  You did.  No need to question your sanity, at least for the moment. Watch 

Swiss Chard, Leek, and Ricotta Crostata

With this glorious time of mid-summer comes a serious case of chard fatigue.  And kale fatigue.  And leafy green fatigue.  I have chard and kale in my garden and they grow so rapidly and so abundantly that I often can’t keep up.  And there are 

Blue Sky Bakery Bran Muffins

Today, I ate 4 bran muffins.  And no, this isn’t the beginning of some gross joke.  Me, who isn’t exactly a “bran muffin” type of gal, ate FOUR of the things.  (Admittedly, and without oversharing, I should not have done this. I got carried away
