I am not a huge pasta fan, but every once in awhile I get a craving for a good pasta. However (nutritionally), a pasta meal doesn’t always make the cut for me. Over the past few years, I have read a number of ways you can “make pasta healthier”. Typically, I do this by not…

Blissful Breakfast Buddha Bowl: Kale, Edamame, Cherry Tomatoes, Butternut Squash Noodles, and Seed Toast with Scallion Cream Cheese
It has been a full (but great!) week, and I am so thrilled to have the chance to cook and create again this weekend! One of my favorite meals to “reset” is a Buddha Bowl. Buddha Bowls are SO satisfying, and you can basically use whatever vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, proteins, etc. that you…
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…
Superhero Soup for Sickness: Bone Broth, Leafy Greens, Spring Onion, Garlic, Cayenne Pepper and Tofu, Topped with Dollops of Sriracha and Sprinkled with Black Pepper
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…
Dark Chocolate Chip and Dried Sour Cherry Butter Cookies: Crunchy, Sweet and Salty Butter Cookies Stuffed with Rich Chocolate Pieces and Chewy Bits of Dried Cherry, Sprinkled with Cane Sugar and Sea Salt
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! 🙂 I hope your day is filled with lots of love, laughter and those you hold near and dear. I’ll be celebrating this weekend with my favorite guy and lots of good food and local adventures – but today I got to celebrate by participating in a cookie contest at work! Nothing better than…
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…
