Something about the fall into winter season has me craving arugula salads with warm roasted squash and winter fruit (persimmons, pomegranate, or apple) filled salads with goat cheese, avocado, and leftover roasted chicken. YUM. See my favorite autumn-inspired salad HERE. I never host a holiday dinner without a salad. It's nice to have something fresh [...]

I've been craving beans lately. Not sure why, but I do love listening to my body, so beans have been added into our rotation. We're especially loving them in taco bowls with our crispy pulled pork. All that said, from my work in the nutrition world I do know that legumes are more easily digested, [...]

our favorite meatloaf

One of my husband's favorite meals of all time is meatloaf. So, the pressure was on to make this one right (spoiler alert: I did). Knowing the recipe was coming and also seeking to avoid waste whenever possible, I've been saving any extra sourdough from the loaves I bake, cutting them into cubes, and freezing [...]

I am on a serious sandwich kick right now. I mean, what's not to love? Fresh sourdough filled with flavors I love and toasted to perfection. You likely know by now that I love sourdough and have put it to use for so many fun and delectable creations. Sometimes, though, keeping things simple with a [...]

We're going on two years of enjoying this bake as a very special Christmas Eve brunch. That said, it's great all season long, and we've had it many times as a new family favorite dinner too. Moist sourdough starter cornbread, local sausage, and best flavors of the season all in one, this stuffing is sure [...]

balsamic roasted brussels

Anyone else out there not convert to a brussels lover until adulthood? I was not into them as a kid. Maybe it was the way my mom hated them because of the way her mom boiled them (sorry, Grandy, but ew). Once I discovered the magic of a good quality fat, salt, flavor, and a [...]
