What’s better on a cold, rainy, winter day like today than a bowl of bouillabaisse? Nothing. With a side of crusty bread? Even better. We used a recipe from a French Cookbook very similar to this recipe with orange zest that adds a very interesting tang to the fish stew. We used dried herbs insteadContinue reading “Bouillabaisse”

Spring has ALMOST Sprung
Since Easter and Passover are early this year (end of March) I feel like things are getting “spring-y” earlier than normal. And by “getting spring-y” I mean the stores already have their spring decor, clothes, etc… out for sale already. I can’t help but already be getting in a spring-y mood – here are someContinue reading “Spring has ALMOST Sprung”
Bacon Roasted Chicken and other Bacon Adventures
The perfect bite with a little of everything… We recently came into a lot of bacon so we needed a few recipe ideas other than “cook and eat.” We came upon this recipe from All Recipes for Bacon Roasted Chicken with Potatoes. It was obviously yummy (if it’s wrapped in bacon isn’t it a given)Continue reading “Bacon Roasted Chicken and other Bacon Adventures”
Couple Things…
We had a great week in this house: The gift I got my husband for Valentine’s Day finally arrived – 4lbs of Tennessee smoked slab bacon from Benton’s Smokey Mountain Country Ham. And boy does this bacon have the smokiest flavor I’ve ever tasted! And it’s very thick. Obviously I’ll have a couple bacon-themed recipesContinue reading “Couple Things…”

What to Wear – J.Crew Sequin Birds Top

I thought I’d put together an outfit based on this interesting tee. 1. J. Crew sequin birds top; 2. Madewell denim jacket;Continue reading “What to Wear – J.Crew Sequin Birds Top”
Tostones
We fell in love with all things plantain on our recent trip to Puerto Rico. We had them mashed (mufungo), as chips, as french fries, and our favorite – Tostones where unripe plantains are fried, then pounded down and fried again. Delish! We decided to make them as a side for dinner the other nightContinue reading “Tostones”
Soba Noodles with Shrimp and Edamame
We made Soba Noodles with Shrimp and Edamame the other night – yum! We found the recipe from our Food Network magazine and it was fairly simple to make and is definitely easy enough for a quick weeknight Asian noodle fix. Make the sauce Cook your shrimp. Cook your soba noodles and shelled edamame. MixContinue reading “Soba Noodles with Shrimp and Edamame”
Couple Things…
I wanted to share some Valentine’s Day highlights from our house… We started the day with some heart shaped toast and red roses! For dinner I used this recipe for beet and goat cheese ravioli… they were really delicious even though it was quite the “labor of love” to make these because I madeContinue reading “Couple Things…”
Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards
I made a couple Valentine’s Day Cards this year I wanted to share… For family, from our sweet baby girl: I did a photo shoot that went wild as Z only wanted to bite the styrofoam hearts I pinned to a pink blanket to make an on-theme photo backdrop. I got a few silly photos IContinue reading “Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards”
