Pumpkin Bundt Cake

November 9, 2012

Not tired of pumpkins desserts yet? Neither am I. I have more pumpkin-y treats on my “to make” list than humanly possible to make and eat in a season. That won’t stop me from trying to get down the list, though. With a little fresh pumpkin puree at my disposal, I decided to tackle a [...]

Fresh Pumpkin Puree

October 25, 2012

After unsuccessfully trying to find a place to go apple picking last weekend, I decided that pumpkin picking was the next best thing. When we got to the farm, the farm stand was full of pumpkins and the orchard’s trees were filled with persimmons and unripe citrus. It was a beautiful overcast afternoon and even [...]

Baked Quinoa Patties

October 20, 2012

I wasn’t planning on sharing this recipe, but after eating these little gems (happily) three days in a row for lunch, I figured they were worth writing a post about. As much as I like quinoa and for all the talk surrounding how healthy and wonderful quinoa is, I don’t actually cook it that often. [...]

Roasted Eggplant and Onion Dip

September 5, 2012

I’ve never met a fruit or vegetable that I didn’t like. Unfortunately, not everyone (and I mean everyone I live with) shares this sentiment. I’ve long accepted Andrew’s aversion to raw tomatoes, but when it came to eggplant, I was sure I could make him see the light. Since eggplant season started in July, I’ve [...]

Zucchini Bread + Cooper’s First Blog Appearance

August 20, 2012

I don’t really want Cooper to overshadow the zucchini bread in this post, but it is his first blog appearance, so I’ll let you be the judge. Before I start gushing about the joys of puppy parenting, let me tell you that this zucchini bread is really good. This version has a little whole wheat [...]

Lemon Summer Squash Muffins

July 16, 2012

Sorry, it’s been awhile since my last post. Life has been getting in the way of blogging lately. I just got back from visiting my hometown, where I got to spend some time with my parents and see some old friends. I also took the time to clear out and update my old room in [...]

Quiche with Kale

April 9, 2012

I’m writing this post from Sydney, Australia! I probably forgot to mention it, but I’m going to be here for 3 weeks. Lucky me, right? I’m still getting adjusted to the time, so forgive me if this post isn’t totally coherent. Since I’m out of the country and without a kitchen, I won’t be posting [...]

Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip

February 24, 2012

I have a soft spot for spinach and artichoke dip. If it’s on a menu at a restaurant, there is a good chance that I want to order it. For as long as I have been ordering it, I never thought about making it until recently. I didn’t even think it was something that people [...]

Mushroom and Shallot Mini Quiches

September 23, 2011

You know that Pâte Brisée dough that I made yesterday? Well I used it to make mini quiches last night. I served them with a mixed green salad on the side and we had the perfect French inspired dinner. I love the fact that each person can have their own personal quiche and they are [...]

Carrot Cake Agave Muffins

August 27, 2011

Carrots, whole wheat flour, and no sugar or butter… what? These muffins may not seem that appetizing when you look at the ingredients list, but they are delicious. I’ve always been a fan of baked goods with vegetables (carrots, zucchinis, pumpkin…you name it) and I was excited when I stumbled on this recipe because it [...]
