I had a huge bag of shredded provolone from my cheese guy. Combined with summer squash and topped with panko for some nice crunch, my boyfriend devoured more than half of this casserole in one sitting. A double win because it’s very easy to make! Guessipe Mix together the eggs, yogurt, provolone, onion salt, oregano,…

Cookbook Club – Cinco de Mayo In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we did a Mexican themed Cookbook Club in May. We sourced recipes from three places – Joy of Cooking (2019 Edition), America’s Test Kitchen, and Chef John’s Food Wishes. Feast your eyes on the whole fiesta on my Cookbook Club site. For now…
Salted Caramel Praline Ice Cream
I find pralines a bit too sweet to just eat on their own. So I’ve had some leftover pralines that I’ve been trying to figure out something to do with. Now that I’m on this ice cream journey, I found a use for them. I have some friends who are obsessed with Salt and Straw…
Apple Pie Ice Cream
Ben and Jerry’s used to have an apple pie ice cream that I was obsessed with, but apparently I was the only one. When they discontinued it, I went to every store in my area and bought up all the remaining pints. I nursed that stash of ice cream for as long as I could,…
Passion Fruit Ricotta Cookies
After the success of the cupcakes made with gluten-free flour, I decided cookies might be another good use for that flour. My cheese buddy suggested ricotta cookies, and the local passion fruit plants are dropping ripe fruits right now… so passion fruit ricotta cookies! This guessipe made over 40 cookies, and they were all consumed…
Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes
I was gifted a bag of gluten-free flour, and had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I happened to see an article that said gluten-free flour is actually better for making cupcakes with a more even crumb, and since I’ve been wanting to figure out uses for my gluten-free flour decided – what…
Passion Fruit Pie with Mascarpone Cream
It’s time again for my favorite holiday… Pi(e) Day! This year I decided to make a Passion Fruit Pie with Mascarpone Cream. I thought the mascarpone would be a nice counterpoint to the tanginess of the passion fruit. And I wanted a crumb crust, but thought that the graham cracker flavor didn’t quite go with…
Cauliflower Ragu
Cookbook Club – Six Seasons Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables was our cookbook for February. It progresses from spring to early summer to midsummer to late summer to autumn to winter, but since almost all of us were drawn to summer recipes rather than winter ones, we probably should have waited to use…
Mushroom-Scallion Soup
Cookbook Club – Joy of Cooking (2019 Edition) We have used Joy of Cooking for a Cookbook Club event before, but this time we focused specifically on the 2019 edition, which has hundreds of new recipes and modifications to some of the old ones. To get our tiny taste of what this extensive cookbook has…
Chocolate Saltine Toffee Treats (AKA Christmas Crack)
The holidays are right around the corner, so I’m getting ready with some Christmas treat-making. Christmas Crack at its most basic is saltine crackers topped with toffee and chocolate. I fancy mine up a bit with chopped nuts and coarse salt. The nuts elevate this dessert to something that seems much more sophisticated and difficult…

Cookbook Club – America’s Test Kitchen holiday cookie swap Last year we did a Cookbook Club holiday cookie swap that was so much fun we decided to bring the bonus event back again this year. The cookie recipes were selected from the America’s Test Kitchen website. To see the whole cookie collection, go to my…
Ricotta Cheesecake
What do you do when someone gives you 8 lbs of ricotta? Experiment with ricotta cheesecake! After testing out a variety of combinations, my boyfriend declared this one was the best cheesecake he’s ever had in his life, so it seemed my experimentation was complete. Using a mixture of ricotta and cream cheese gave the…
