This was one of my mom’s go-to dishes when I was a kid. The creamy cheesy goodness made it such good comfort food. I always imagined it was a lot of work to make, so I was thrilled when my mom told me it’s pretty much just an assemblage of freezer and pantry items plus…

Honeyed Persimmon Cake Topping
Whenever cake comes with the typical sugary frosting on top, I do my best to scrape off as much of the frosting as I can. It’s just too sweet for me and doesn’t have any other flavor. But did you know that you can use a simple mixture of Greek yogurt and honey to make…
Broccoli Mac n Cheese
As a person who loves homemade food and isn’t much for packaged foods, I know this might sound crazy but… I have a fondness for boxed mac n cheese. There’s just something about the creaminess that results from that cheese powder that is so compelling. I’ve tried a bunch of mac n cheese recipes, most…
Butternut Squash Pasta
After avoiding going grocery shopping for far too long, in hungry desperation I threw this dish together using the remains of the food I had left in the house. My boyfriend declared it one of best meals he’s ever eaten, saying it tasted like a perfect autumn day. It has since become a regular part…
Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
For years I had been hearing about the Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit, and had been meaning to go try one. I just don’t eat fast food very often, and for some reason on the rare occasions when it seems like a good idea, it’s Sunday… which is a no-go for Chick-fil-A. A couple years ago, they…
Lemon Curd
COVID-19 lemon series part 3 – Lemon Curd. What better way to round out a lemon-themed meal than with dessert? I am not a big fan of icing, but I’m all in on using lemon curd as a topping on simple vanilla cake. Bonus – you can spread the leftover lemon curd on pancakes the…
Soy-Ginger Dinner Scramble
Cookbook Club – Virtual Potluck Well, COVID-19 happened, and that made dinner parties impossible… almost. But we can’t let anything stand in the way of Cookbook Club, so we figured out how to do a virtual potluck. We provided some recipe options from Bon Appetit for “when there’s nothing in the fridge”, and then we…
Honey Butter
Here’s another guessipe I’ve come to think of as “COVID-19 approved”… which means it contains only ingredients you probably already have in your pantry – honey and butter. Despite that, the savory sweet creaminess of honey butter will elevate your meal and give you that feeling like it’s something you’d have in a restaurant. So…
Buttermilk Pie
Can I tell you one of my food pet peeves? I don’t understand why buttermilk comes in quart containers… why Why WHY??? I’ve never seen a recipe that uses more than a cup of buttermilk at a time, and yet I’m forced to buy four times that amount. It makes me crazy and I hate…
Pancake Mix Garlic Onion Cheese Bread
Yes, I’m posting this on April Fool’s Day… but no, this is not a joke. Thanks to COVID-19 we’re all living in this new shelter-in-place world, and apparently everyone has decided to get into bread-baking. As a result that I never would have predicted for a global pandemic, all the grocery stores appear to be…
Orange Creamsicle Pie
Pi(e) Day is almost upon us, so it’s time to invent another pie! Do you remember those orange creamsicles you used to eat as a kid? That magical combination of orange popsicle with cream filling! Well this year I decided to turn that into a pie. Guessipe CANDIED TANGERINE SPRINKLES 2 tangerines, halved and juiced…
Glazed Radishes
Cookbook Club – The Silver Spoon For February’s Cookbook Club, we used the The Silver Spoon, a bible of Italian food with over 2,000 recipes. To get a glimpse of our entire home cooked Italian meal, go to my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish! Radishes are so rarely cooked. In fact, I…
