If you are going to make anything this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, make this Hunter’s Pie. Granted, I know most of you will not have ground venison on hand (I can thank my Dad for that), but there are many other meats you can substitute or you can even do a meatless version!…

Baked Irish Breakfast Oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats, Whole Milk, Apple Sauce, Honeycrisp Apple Pieces, Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, With a Crisp Coconut Sugar and Granola Top
St. Patrick’s day is right around the corner! One of my favorite parts about celebrating any holiday is the food – especially ones with a unique cultural heritage. I am (supposedly) 1/4 Irish, so I figured now is a good time to learn more about and embrace my heritage. Additionally, I have a trip to…
Savory Ham and Cheddar Puff Pastry Swirls: Buttery Puff Pastry, Stuffed with Honey Mustard, Slices of Honey Maple Ham, and a Mixture of Champagne and Stoudt Cheddar, Topped with a Homemade Sweet Spicy Spread
These pastries remind me of summer mornings at the beach. There is an adorable French pastry shop at Rehoboth Beach I always make a point of going to when I’m in the area, and they make these INCREDIBLE ham and cheese croissants. I haven’t mastered my croissant skills (yet), but I have found a way of making…
Dad’s Famous Pancakes (or, as he calls them, “Dadcakes”): Whole Wheat Pancake Mix, Stuffed with Fresh Blueberries, Pecan Pieces and Light Brown Sugar, Topped with Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup
My family has come a LONG way in our pancake game – for many years, we used the “shake” containers and just added water. In the past few years though, along with a change in eating habits and food preferences in general, we started experimenting. Especially my Dad. I rarely order pancakes out (I don’t…
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…
Seasonal Satsuma Orange Chocolate Avocado Mousse: Avocado, Banana, and Satsuma Oranges, Topped with Pomegranate Seeds, Chocolate Chips, and Triple Cream Skyr
It’s my birthday weekend (with my actual birthday being tomorrow), so I figured I would kick it off with one of my favorite dessert creations – Seasonal Satsuma Orange Chocolate Avocado Mousse! I have tried a number of avocado mousses, but in all honesty this one is my absolute favorite and a huge hit with my family…
