sweet hot slaw
I used to LOVE coleslaw. So much that when I was little I would beg my parents to go to KFC to get some “coldslop.” I found myself with an abundance of cabbage in the fridge, and with an upcoming potluck at Tom’s I decided to try making it myself. I didn’t want just any [...]
green bean casserole
This is one dish of my Mom’s that I feel confident in sharing with you. If you know me in real life, you know that my mother is not a cook. Mom, I love you. Your apple pies are out of this world. You’re cheesecakes are fantastic. Your Pilgrim Pies are delicious! Yes! But we [...]
macaroni & cheese with caramelized shallots & goat cheese
Yes. Cheeses. Mac n’ cheese is good. Mac n’ more cheese is even better, and this recipe couldn’t be easier. I managed to throw it together on an insanely busy Thursday between a work-related trip to the ER and a staff luncheon. So I don’t want to hear any excuses! adapted from Bon Appetit 3 [...]
loaded potato soup
I’ve been holding on to this recipe for too long. Tom and I made it like two weeks ago, but I have been a very bad blogger (the ancient relic of a laptop that I have to work with doesn’t help matters either) and not gotten around to posting it. It really comes from two [...]
baked brie
We made this for an appetizer for Thanksgiving, and Tom should be happy because we winged it. His Mom had a large wheel of Brie and a can of the new Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations in the fridge, and we went to town. As a result, we have no recipe, but I really think that [...]
white chocolate pumpkin truffles
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. These little bites of heaven were Tom’s and my contribution for Thanksgiving this year. A coworker emailed me this recipe from Whole Foods, and I am glad she did, because they were amazing. Thanks Susan! We’ll make them again and share with you, since there were no leftovers… 2½ cups [...]
thanksgiving detox: simple salad
I ate so much over Thanksgiving weekend. I needed to detox with something light and healthy. This is a summer salad that I saw on Everyday Italian at some point, but it was just what I needed after all that turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, pie and truffles. No measurements here, just a list of [...]
corn dip
This is, by far, the EASIEST, EASIEST, EASIEST thing you could EVER make. Got that? The EASIEST. Even if you are a complete disaster in the kitchen YOU CAN DO THIS and people will LOVE IT. It gets devoured every time. Proof? We have made this several times before this post, and this is the [...]
