Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler {Who Knew?}
I came home from work on Friday night raving about this Tres Leches Cake that one of my co-workers shared with us (Happy Birthday Mel). I mean this cake stopped you in your tracks. Four layers of sweet milk cake with… Wait this is a Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler post. Sorry.

Eggs Baked in Herbed Spaghetti Squash Nests
Eggs Baked in… And I’m sold. That’s all I need to hear and I’m all in. Eggs baked in that spaghetti squash that’s been patiently waiting in the pantry for her time to shine, is just plain brilliant. Thank you to The Urban Poser for coming up with this one.

Salmon & Asparagus Quiche {with Fresh Herbs}
Salmon & Asparagus Quiche is definitely the best way I’ve incorporated leftovers into a dish in a long time. Asparagus is so beautiful right now that I had to buy two bunches. One I used in an Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart. And one I served along side a gorgeous piece of baked salmon. There was just enough of both leftover to make a two person Salmon & Asparagus Quiche.

Kefta Mkaouara {Moroccan Spicy Meatball & Tomato Tagine with Poached Eggs}
I wanted to share one more Winter Thyme Spice Exploration dish before I mentally checked into Spring. When I discovered Kefta Mkaouara, a traditional Moroccan tagine dish, it offered all the right components. Lovely spices, fresh herbs, wonderfully seasoned mini-meatballs, and poached eggs all slow cooked in glorious tomato and olive sauce in our new Tagine. Beautiful.

The St. Patty’s Melt {not just for St. Paddy’s Day}
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! How does one day draw in sooo many people? Beer. AND that we’re a melting pot society…who wants to claim to be Irish at least one day a year :) St. Patrick’s Day seems to span across continents, dialects, and generations. We’re looking for permission to drink. Beer. And make Irish Soda Bread…so we can turn it into Patty Melts on St. Paddy’s Day. That’s my theory. And the St. Patty’s Melt was born.

Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread {with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper}
Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread {with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper} As St. Patrick’s Day entered the radar of food bloggers and the like, the recipe sharing became fast and furious. I couldn’t have imagined Guinness could find it’s way into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert….but alas it’s been done. Wonderful dishes rich in flavor yet not overdone. I suspect that holds true for Ireland herself. I never question the authenticity of a dish, purely because I love to experiment with recipes and expect others do as well. Let that be the lead in to this not so traditional Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper. The beautiful…

Kale Chips {Hail to Kale}

Kale with Sausage, White Beans & Butternut Squash
Kale with Sausage, White Beans & Butternut Squash By now, most everyone is aware that kale comes packed with a bushel of health benefits, even if you’re not quite sure what they are specifically. This would be the time to share that I wanted to be sure I knew before moving on. So I googled ‘health ben’ and before completing the word ‘benefits’…never mind adding the word ‘kale’…I had 2,150,000 results for Health Benefits of Kale. Here’s a link to a quick Top 10 List that is well worth reading. I had no idea.

Chocolate Mousse {Adventures in Chocolate}
After a week of sharing and reminiscing about New England, I give you my most favorite dessert, inspired by the Monadnock Inn’s secret Chocolate Mousse recipe. As I recall, several years ago, their recipe earned Gourmet magazine’s Best Chocolate Mousse award.
