It has been a hectic few weeks. And as much as I had hoped to share more recipes and activities for the holidays, I simply ran out of time. So, if I have to choose just one recipe to share, it has to be these fudgy chocolate crinkle cookies! They are decadent like a brownie, in the shape of a cookie, and covered in snowy powdered sugar. They…
Cranberry sauce is like the cherry on-top of an ice cream sundae. You don’t need a lot of it, but you get excited for that perfect bite. Homemade cranberry sauce is a must have on our Thanksgiving Day table! There are so many ways you can make a good cranberry sauce, but this version is just so simple and delicious. My mom has been making this recipe since…
I know the end of October is super late to show up for the pumpkin spice game! But have you ever had a pumpkin spice latte with brown sugar whipped cream? This whipped cream is life changing, and the perfect compliment to the pumpkin spice. I am not going to bore you with the long story of how I made up this recipe. So let’s keep it short,…
As the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter, I’ve been craving comfort food more and more. This bacon leek pasta is comfort in a bowl or what I like to call a hug in a bowl. There is something so flavorful about the combination of bacon and leeks. I love it in everything from quiche to soup. But, I came up with this specific…
Apple cider doughnuts remind me of being a little girl and going apple picking with my family. One bite takes me back to running around the orchard, feeding the goats and falling asleep on the drive home from a bellyache of apple cider and lots of sweets. It wasn’t apple picking without bringing home at least a dozen doughnuts. And, I am happy to say the tradition continues…
My husband, Pete, loves making cocktails. Trying and creating new cocktails together has become a weekly tradition. And with quarantine, we are probably doing this a lot more than we used to (haha). I personally am seasonal in my cocktail drinking. In the summer, I like something light and refreshing, and in the winter I like something to warm me up. So, when the weather started getting colder…
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.

And even if you didn’t plant your own tomatoes, you can get amazing ones at your local farm or grocery store this time of year. So here is a super simple salad to enjoy those juicy summer tomatoes. It is great on its…
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…
