Brownies!
I’ve been in a bit of a creative cooking slump, but that doesn’t mean its a full on cooking slump. Really, it just means other people’s recipes make it to my table instead of my own! Our pick for brownie recipe turned out delish. We […]

Weeknight Stir Fried Noodles with Lamb
I’m a fan of (a) lots of veggies in my food, and (b) minimal dish use. So, stir fries of any kind are totally up my alley, specially when I have cold noodles sitting in the fridge, waiting to find their purpose in life. Crimini […]
Smoky Cauliflower Soup
Now that smoothie season is officially over, I enjoy eating a large bowl of soup over lunch. I’ve been playing around with different versions of cauliflower soup based on the Moroccan Cauliflower Soup recipe, and I really love this one. The fire roasted red bell […]
Curry Butternut Soup in IP Ace
Butternut squash makes me happy, specially when I can pick it up in the grocery store all cubed & ready to cook. Today it got made into a soup. I don’t even have process pictures because making this was so easy. 1 lb cubed butternut […]

Fresh Blueberry Jam in Bread Machine
What do you do with a large batch of blueberries that aren’t sweet enough to eat? Make jam, of course! I swapped out 1/2 cup of blueberries for strawberries (chopped), making 3 cups of mostly blue berries. I plopped these into my bread machine […]
Finnish-ish Salmon Soup in IP
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by the desire to make a one pot seafood dish, a craving for soup, and a chance encounter with a recipe for a Finnish salmon soup called Lohikeitto. Not finding any fish broth in the kitchen, I decided to cook the […]
