If Fall was a sandwich, this would be it! And nothing says Fall like apple season. A week ago we went Apple picking, and I picked so many apples. I don’t know if it was just getting out of the house for the first time in forever or if I just brought really big bags. But whatever it was, I came home with a lot of apples. So,…
I came up with this recipe the other day by accident! I received a bunch of poblano peppers and sweet corn in my CSA box this week, and my original plan was to make creamy poblano and corn tacos. As I was pouring in the cream for the poblanos, the heavy cream bottle slipped out of my hand and the entire bottle emptied out. It was now way…
After going blueberry picking over the weekend, we had a ton of blueberries, and I knew I had to make something special for Ollie. In this summer heat, there is nothing better than ice cream. And, Ollie loves ice cream just as much as I do. Like mother like pup. I love making him a healthier ice cream with a base of banana and yogurt. The addition of…

For Ollie’s birthday, I knew exactly what to make him. One of his favorite treats are these peanut butter banana pupcakes. It combines three of his favorite foods; peanut butter, bananas and cream cheese. So, they do not last long in our household. Since Ollie is a rescue, we don’t know his exact birthday. But when we adopted him, we guesstimated a day and have been celebrating it…
Sausage and peppers is a classic Italian American street food. You will also see it on the menu of a lot of Italian American restaurants and pizzerias in NJ, parts of CT, NY and PA. In my house growing up and to this day, sausage and peppers is a staple weeknight meal. The main difference between this sausage and peppers recipe and the more classic version is the…
Whether they are for a lazy Sunday breakfast, a quick weeknight dinner, or a late-night snack, pancakes are always a treat. Making pancakes is also a great way to get the entire family involved in the kitchen, as they are pretty simple to make and not too much of a mess. This is a base recipe, so feel free to add some chocolate chips, bananas, blueberries or whatever…

Cream puffs are my ultimate comfort food. Growing up, my mom was the cream puff queen. It was the recipe everyone requested for school events, parties, and family functions. Yet, the best was when she would make them on a random afternoon, and you would find them in the fridge after school. There was also always a secret stash in the freezer in case dad found them before…
In the time of social distancing and staying put, something that has been fun is looking through old travel photos as well as virtually exploring new places. When trying to figure out which of our past travels to write about first, I decided to go with one of our favorite hiking spots, Craggy Gardens outside of Asheville, NC. With forests of enveloping, twisted trees, and blankets of wildflowers…
