So, here is THE Carrot Cake recipe we made for Z’s 2nd birthday party. We’ve tried a few carrot cake recipes and none are as good as this one. And can you believe it comes from All Recipes? Nothing fancy here! This recipe is not healthy, you are now warned. But, one step to makeContinue reading “Carrot Cake and Cake Frosting Tips”

We Had a Purse Party
Over the weekend we hosted some family to celebrate Z’s 2nd birthday! I had a purse theme with purse invitations, purse party favors, a purse-decorated cake, and a few other purse items for decor. Our Z had a blast – she pretty much had the exact face on all afternoon as she does in theContinue reading “We Had a Purse Party”
Fall Vegetable Chowder
Guys, we are inundated with fall vegetables from our CSA right now. So, when we got this recipe as part of the email blast telling us what was in our farm share last week, we were psyched with how many veggies would be used! This soup is really a curry chowder – which might soundContinue reading “Fall Vegetable Chowder”
Quiche Lorraine
I’ve made quiche and shared it with you before, but this quiche we made over the weekend was just YUM. We decided on breakfast for dinner one night (what’s better than that?) and went the savory route (quiche) over something sweet (like waffles). We had spinach up the wa-zoo from our CSA that week soContinue reading “Quiche Lorraine”
Apple Upside Down Cake
There’s nothing yummier than a homemade pineapple upside down cake (ahem, Dad!). And now – a fall version using apples. We had a few apples left after we picked 20 lbs about a month ago and after eating most of them as is (we did make a pie and some apple butter) we decided weContinue reading “Apple Upside Down Cake”
We Tried A Cronut
…sort of. Have you been paying attention to the cronut sensation in NYC? A cronut is a doughnut-croissant hybrid created by chef Dominique Ansel and sold exclusively at his self-named bakery. They sell out in minutes and he only makes maybe 200/day. You can read more about his cronut if you’d like. As the storyContinue reading “We Tried A Cronut”
Kale and Butternut Squash Tart
Being members of a CSA, we have a bottomless pit of kale in our lives. And…there are only so many kale chips you can eat, really. So I am always on the lookout for an interesting recipe to put kale in. Well, thanks to Pinterest again, I have found my favorite kale recipe to date.Continue reading “Kale and Butternut Squash Tart”
Apple butter
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that we went apple picking over the weekend – an almost required early fall activity! We decided to get the largest bag possible and ended up with 20lbs of apples. The first thing I made was an apple pie, which is almost the very reason to goContinue reading “Apple butter”
Healthier Eggplant Parm
I mentioned quite a few weeks ago that we made this summer version of eggplant parm. Well – you can really make it any season and it’s actually just a healthier version of the traditional breaded and fried eggplant parm. And it’s stacked. Who doesn’t like dinner in a stack? Here’s how we made itContinue reading “Healthier Eggplant Parm”
Salsa Verde
I mentioned Friday that we got a boat load of peppers, a pint of tomatillos, AND a bunch of cilantro in our CSA a couple weeks ago so it’s like the farm was beckoning us to make salsa verde – so we did! Salsa verde is a green sauce or green salsa. You can addContinue reading “Salsa Verde”
