My keto friend was coming over for dinner, so I needed to come up with a dish that doesn’t have carbs. Even my husband, who lives on carbs, raved about how good this Spaghetti Squash with Arugula, Bacon and Goat Cheese was. It was very easy (roasting the squash was the longest part!), so I’ll…

3.14 Pi(e) Day VI
This is actually my 7th annual Pie Day, but last year we did it as a Cookbook Club event. Can you believe it!? Seven times I’ve gotten to stuff myself to the gills with pie… and hopefully many more to come. Savory Pies Nick made a Tomato Cheese Pie. Does that sound familiar? Well that’s…
Caramelized Cabbage with Bacon
I crave this cabbage dish. How many cabbage dishes can you say that about? But I kid you not. The caramelized sweetness of the cabbage with crispy bacon bits and a touch of spice make it a savory spicy sweet bit of heaven. Do you think dessert cabbage could ever become a thing? Guessipe 1…
Sherry Cream Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
A friend of mine made these brussels sprouts for a Friendsgiving dinner one year. The combination of sherry, cream, bacon, and mushrooms made a richly nuanced sauce that was wonderful on the brussels sprouts (but would also be good on pretty much anything). I forced him to teach me how to make this brussels sprouts…
Bacon-Wrapped Bananas
They’re bacon-wrapped bananas… need I say more? I love these for football parties. They are salty, sweet, and a little spicy. The bacon fat caramelizes the banana as it cooks so you get amazing crispy bits. And they’re easy to pop in your mouth as you watch the game. Guessipe 4 bananas, each cut into…
Brussels Sprouts Salad
Brussels sprouts have become so trendy that it seems like every restaurant has them on the menu, usually roasted and often with some sort of sweet glaze like balsamic or maple. But I never saw them raw, and began to wonder if you could serve them that way. They do after all resemble tiny cabbages….
Deviled Eggs
My uncle makes these deviled eggs with bacon and cheddar cheese. They are fantastic. I’ve added a bit of Sriracha, which gives them an extra little kick. The deviled eggs are a hit at parties. People are always asking what’s in them. So here it is. Guessipe 12 eggs, boiled and peeled 1/2 cup mayonnaise…
Eggs on Rice with Oyster Sauce
Weekend brunch in my family was a big deal. My dad was the brunch cook, and my mom, brother, and I would take turns getting to decide what was for brunch each weekend. When it was my turn, I almost always chose eggs on rice with oyster sauce. This may sound weird, but trust me…
Creamy Pea Salad
When I was a kid, there was a restaurant my family would go to for occasions like birthday celebrations. The rest of the food was good, but we really went there for the pea salad. Normally a salad would not be the big draw in our restaurant choices, but there was something about this pea…
