Basic Homemade Meat BrothLet’s be honest. One of the reasons we make a whole chicken (or perhaps I should say, one of the reasons I like making a whole chicken) is because we can stretch that one purchase into several meals. After eating our chicken for dinner, the leftover meat became part of Will’s lunch the next day, while the bones went into a stockpot to… |

Baked Rigatoni with Bolognese Meat SauceI love baked pastas. There is something so comforting and simple about a baked pasta. The crunch of the crisped top and the gooey cheese simmering underneath = so good! The only problem is all the dishes that are left for my taste-tester/dishwasher to clean (thank you, Will!). So, of course, I had to look for a baked pasta from… |

Flavorful Fridays: Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper PastaLast night, I decided to make a lighter dinner. Many of our dinners recently have been pretty heavy, rich meals. While we both enjoy these hunker-down, winter-inspired meals, I thought it might be better for both of us to partake in a healthier meal, especially since yesterday was such a beautiful and (relatively) warm day. Instead of… |

Flavorful Fridays: Double Chocolate Pudding ParfaitMy husband is so spoiled. He asks for dessert and instead of giving him fruit (which let’s be honest would be the smarter and healthier option), I instead whip up some time-consuming, delicious concoction to appease his sweet tooth. And most often, this involves some form of chocolate. I found a recipe for a decadent homemade… |

Flavorful Fridays: Poached PearsMy parents sent us a box of beautiful Harry & David pears for Valentine’s Day. In case you don’t know, Harry & David’s pears are divine! We sliced up the first one like an apple and enjoyed it in its purest form. The next night, I decided we should mix it up a bit. I’ve heard people talk about poached pears, but as far as I know, I’d… |

Dried Cherry SconesMy mom has been in the habit for almost 30 years of making large, filling breakfasts for her family. As a child, there was nothing better than a plate full of half-dollar sized pancakes waiting for us on the breakfast table (or maybe it was being able to boast eating 20 pancakes that morning to our friends…) or the cinnamon rolls she… |

Flavorful Fridays: Chocolate TrufflesWith Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, I’ve been thinking of sweet things I can make my husband (although, with all the desserts and his “favorites” that I make on a regular basis, you would think that everyday is Valentine’s Day). We’re not really into the store-bought box of chocolates, or the sappy Valentine’s cards, and… |

Flavorful Fridays: Hot Chocolate Fudge CakesAside from December, February is the coziest dessert month. There are chocolates and red hearts everywhere we look, and because it’s still cold outside, we’re still reaching for warm, comforting foods. It’s a great month for breaking your New Year’s diet a little to indulge in sweet treats with your sweetie.Hot Chocolate Fudge Cakes… |

Flavorful Fridays: Strawberry & Nutella CrepesMy sister and I don’t live nearly as close as we would like (8 hours is way too far), so the time that we do get together is very much coveted and enjoyed. My sister came to visit over the long weekend, and I asked her before she arrived what she wanted to do during her stay with us. Her only requests were centered around food (there… |
