Whelp. I finally got the plague that has been circulating around my house, the office, my friends, my family – basically, everywhere. I finally felt well enough to cook something the other day and I decided to craft a new recipe from a bunch of ingredients that are claimed to help heal the body (or at least…

Stole a Pizza My Heart: Garlic Naan Crust, Topped with Pizza Sauce, Shredded Mozzarella and Pepperoni Hearts, Garnished with Italian Flat Leaf Parsley and Seasonings
I love pizza. Any kind of pizza, I’m there. My boyfriend (Chad) and I didn’t get to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the actual day because of our opposite work schedules, but we are looking forward to celebrating this weekend! 🙂 Chad had off today and I worked from home, so I surprised him with these…
My Version of a PA Dutch Favorite: Baked Mini Fastnacht Doughnuts for Fat Tuesday
“Where did you get this recipe?” – my Mom’s immediate response to trying one of these baked mini Fastnachts. She couldn’t believe it was something I created – and that they were baked – because she felt like they had tasted spot-on like the ones she would get from Lancaster. Coming from her, that means…
Decadent Chocolate Strawberry Crepes: Thin Whole Wheat Cocoa Crepes, Stuffed with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and Fresh Strawberries, Topped with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Drizzle
What’s more romantic than French cuisine on Valentine’s Day? Probably very few things. And these crepes are just the ticket. I always felt that crepes would be something I would “definitely have to order out” because they looked so complicated to make. But they are, in fact, entirely possible to make at home. And, actually,…
Savory Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict: Fresh Parsley, Black Pepper, Creamy Hollandaise Sauce, Poached Eggs, Thin Slices of Smoked Salmon, All on a Toasted Honey Whole Wheat English Muffin
Eggs benedict is my FAVORITE thing to order when I go out for brunch! It’s so good, and each restaurant does it a little differently. I love any eggs benedict with seafood incorporated into the recipe – my favorite EVER was at a small café in Nova Scotia that server lobster eggs benedict. It was…
Unique Meat, Grain, Cheese and Vegetable Dinner: Pesto Pearled Couscous, Served with a Variety of Baked Vegetables, Topped with Fried Halloumi Cheese and Crisped Prosciutto Slices
I am ALL ABOUT creating restaurant-worthy meals at home. Yes, it is definitely super nice to go out to eat (don’t get me wrong). No trips to the grocery store, time spent preparing food, no mountains of dishes and a nice change of scenery. But, sometimes, cooking in your pajamas with a glass of wine that…
Quick and Easy Valentine’s “Egg in a Heart” Toast Breakfast Spread: Pan Toasted Bread with a Dippy Egg Inside, Paired with Prosciutto, Cranberry Cheddar, Grainy Mustard and Grapes
Fun fact: this was the FIRST recipe I was going to post on my cooking website (2+ years ago when I had decided I wanted to have my own website for sharing recipes). I had the post uploaded and everything, but the website set to private. However, I decided at that point in time that…
Baked Molasses Glazed Salmon and Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction: Baked Salmon with a Sweetened Molasses Glaze, Topped with a Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction and Sugared Rosemary, Paired with Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Fresh Arugula, and Raw Pistachios
Really looking to *wow* someone for Valentine’s Day (or any day honestly haha!)? Look no further than this recipe – my “Baked Molasses Glazed Salmon and Vanilla Cinnamon Persimmon Reduction” paired with an assortment of greens and pistachios. Not only is the presentation stunning and very seasonal in feel, but the flavors are unique, savory,…
Overnight Chocolate Cherry Muesli: Muesli Mix Soaked in Milk and Cocoa Powder, Topped with Black Cherries, Sweet Cherry Preserves, Dried Sour Cherries, Walnuts and Chocolate Chips
One week until VALENTINE’S DAY!!! Yes, I know, it’s a corny holiday. But it’s a great way to spread love to people you care about! And what better way to do that then surprising a significant other, partner, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, family member (really whoever!) with a sweet breakfast treat! I was first introduced…
Easy Honey Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”: Lightly Breaded Cauliflower Florets, Covered in a Delicious Honey Buffalo Sauce and Baked to Crisp Perfection
First of all (I’ll admit) – these turned out WAY better than I expected them too! They were so good that I wiped through an entire tray with three other people in less than a half hour. So, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. I actually don’t really like cauliflower (unless it’s blended into a soup or…
