This Tomato, Cheddar & Basil Pie might just be the prettiest pie I’ve ever made. There’s something so beautiful about a rainbow of homegrown ripe tomatoes.
I’ll let these pictures do the talking. Words wouldn’t do it justice. Continue reading »

To say I love ‘thrifting’ is an understatement. And as a food blogger, I’m not alone. We’ve always got an eye out for unique dishes and props to use for our food photography sessions.

Last week while visiting our local Humane Society Thrift Store I spied this gorgeous cookbook. The cover recipe was for Budín Azteca aka Aztec Casserole which matched this week’s Farmers Market bounty beautifully. Continue reading »

Some of my blogging friends and I have joined together to “Celebrate Green and Welcome Spring.” We’re sharing dishes featuring naturally green ingredients. I chose to share Colcannon Cheesy Potatoes with Kale. It’s a fun twist on a classic Irish recipe that I thought would be a great side dish for your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Continue reading »

This recipe has nothing to do with that. But I wanted to share where I am right now. Continue reading »

I hadn’t planned on making, picturing and sharing this recipe today, but it’s Game Day and we deserve it. You and me. Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip is soooo easy. Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need. Continue reading »

This Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake was born out of ingredients already on hand. It’s loaded with veggies and I promise you even the youngest members of the family will love this dish. Butternut squash, fresh mushrooms & spinach, an open box of pasta and the end of a hunk of cheddar cheese came together in a snap. Continue reading »

This Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stromboli recipe could easily be adapted to ingredients already in your fridge and pantry. However the star ingredient and what brings it all together is the puff pastry sheet. I recommend keeping a box in your freezer for just such an occasion. Continue reading »
