This past week I got inspired by a beet recipe, Balsamic-Glazed Beets with Pecans, from Eating Well magazine. We have been receiving lots of beets from our weekly produce box and I get tired of making things over and over again the exact same way. I decided that this beet recipe would be the bestContinue reading “Balsamic Beet Pizza”

Easy Stuffed Peppers
Our weekly produce box has been so good for rounding out our meals – veggies galore! I decided to make stuffed peppers last week, something I have not made in ages. As almost always, I winged it. I made a big pot of rice, with the intent of the leftovers being turned into fried riceContinue reading “Easy Stuffed Peppers”
Easter Brunch 2016
Easter was a little while ago, I know. However, I have been busy taking two classes, testing the waters for big and exciting changes coming soon. I actually started this post just after Easter and it has been sitting as a draft since then. I have quite a few artwork drafts sitting around right nowContinue reading “Easter Brunch 2016”
Pizza Quiche
This is another recipe that I concocted based on items I had in my kitchen, I did not go out and buy any of these things with this recipe in my mind. This is my favorite kind of cooking – I feel it’s a direct extension from my collage and painting mindset. If you haveContinue reading “Pizza Quiche “
Coconut Curry & Butternut Squash
This past week I put together a few of my produce box vegetables to make a curry dish. This coconut and curry dish is slightly sweet with a thick sauce made of puréed squash. It made plenty of food – enough for freezing, leftovers, or to feed a large crowd. I served it with cookedContinue reading “Coconut Curry & Butternut Squash”
Creamy Wild Rice & Parsnip Soup
I jump started my New Year’s resolution to eat healthier and signed up for Door to Door Organics back in November. I now have a delivery of fresh, organic produce show up every single week right on my doorstep. It has been the single best healthy decision I have made for our family in the pastContinue reading “Creamy Wild Rice & Parsnip Soup”
Gramma’s Yam Souffle
I made a batch of this last week and on first taste I was transported back to the multi-course meals of my childhood. Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just a weekend visit to her house always meant a large meal where every square inch of the dining room table was covered in serving bowls, platters, and dishes.Continue reading “Gramma’s Yam Souffle”
Caramelized Nectarine Pancakes
These breakfast bad boys came about due to an abundance of ripe nectarines, reminiscing about North Carolina beach breakfasts, and my absolute undying devotion to making delicious breakfast foods. Fact: I am much more likely to go all out on breakfast than any other meal of the day. Nectarines are right up there with peachesContinue reading “Caramelized Nectarine Pancakes”
Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad
Let me preface this post by saying I am honestly not much of a salad person. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat them, order them at restaurants, but I rarely make them myself. This is for a few reasons: 1. I always seem to forget about the greens in my fridge and they turn toContinue reading “Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad”
Southwestern Pinto Soup
I made this heavenly toasty soup earlier in the week in my way too dusty slow cooker. I need to brush it off and use it more often, it’s just too luxurious to come home to a house that smells deceivingly like a laborious meal. The slow cooker meal feels almost magical, and I getContinue reading “Southwestern Pinto Soup”
