Hey foodie friends!I wonder how many of you are in the same boat as me right now. My apartment has z e r o breakfast ingredients with the exception of coffee; my lunches consist of the most obscure ingredients, and then dinner seems to magically appear as if I wasn't just pacing around my kitchen [...]

Momma T’s Potato Salad
My mom -- Momma T -- hands down makes the best version and the only version of potato salad that I consider to be worth-making. Potato salad gets a bad reputation for being covered in mayo, having no flavour, and being that one summer salad on the picnic bench that never gets touched because it [...]
Roasted Tomato Soup with Crispy Herb Croutons
I'm just going to go out and say it -- if you don't like tomato soup, it's probably because all you've ever had is Campbell's tinny-tasting version of it and that doesn't count in my book, foodie friends. Little did I know that when I chose "fresh" as the theme for this month's blogs and [...]
Bake at Home: No Knead Bread
Baking bread was a culinary fear of mine for the following reasons: I thought it was impossible to do without a stand-mixer.I was sure to mess it up somehow when kneading the dough.I would end up with one hunk of really dense bread. I realized that thinking about trying something new in the kitchen is [...]
Sheet Pan Loaded Fries
The first time I made these, I don't know why, but my brain automatically thought, "These would be badass on Boxing Day." Boxing Day reminds me of eating junk food, having a casual drink at home or at an ugly-sweater party, and relaxing while watching Netflix episodes of Friends. On a totally unrelated note, I [...]
Spiced Sweet Potato Rounds
Here I go again adding one more roasted vegetable to my list of recipes, but it is honestly the most comforting thing to eat in the winter -- plus... it's a healthier starch... right? These little round chips will cook faster than chunks of sweet potato and are able to achieve a crispy exterior with [...]
Jam Drops
This is another recipe that reminds me of Christmas as a kid: if there wasn't a tray of Jam Drops on the dessert table...was it even really the holidays? Think of these miniature sweets as a toned down sugar cookie with another dollop of jammy goodness in the middle to complete it. They are so [...]
Morning Mimosas
There are probably only a few times in life where you can wake up and start sipping on champagne. Your wedding day, your "champagne birthday", and a New Year's Day brunch? And um, the morning of Dec. 25, duh. You need three things, my friends. OJ, champagne and fresh fruit. Fill your glass 1/4 full [...]
Polish Rogaliki // Flaky Jam Crescents
Lean in a little closer and I'll tell you a little Polish secret -- despite our pride in cooking copious amounts of dough, meat, and potatoes, we are actually lovely bakers who have somehow perfected all treats to be light, flaky or fluffy and probably a little jammy. And if you have a problem with [...]
Apple + Shallot Compote
As much as I love homemade cranberry sauce during the holidays, I can't resist trying out twists on highly esteemed classics, and though some may think, "BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE CRANBERRIES," I assure you with this recipe? You will not miss them. This fruit compote goes well with leaner cuts of protein such [...]
