Meatless Monday! Caprese Stuffed Pitas

Meatless Monday! Caprese Stuffed Pitas by Shannon Millisor

Summertime here on the east coast and get really hot and not very many people feel like cooking when it's sweltering outside. I like to look for meals that either don't involve cooking or have very little cooking to them. Food prep I don't mind so much, but nobody really wants to turn on the oven when it's in the 90's outside (or…

Cinnamon Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping

Cinnamon Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping by Shannon Millisor

It's almost officially fall, as I've said before. One of the first ingredients I think of for autumn recipes is cinnamon. I love cinnamon, and it reminds me of "harvest", which makes me think about Thanksgiving. We are no where near Thanksgiving (sort of) considering that Halloween is coming up soon, but that's okay. I could really…

Ham and Pear Sandwich on Cranberry-Pecan Bread

Ham and Pear Sandwich on Cranberry-Pecan Bread by Nikki S. Moore

I have a confession to make. Peanut butter and cherry jam on whole wheat bread is my go-to lunch. To its credit, it’s quick, economical, and a complete source of protein. It’s also the sandwich of choice for 5-year olds and yes, rather boring.However this past week, the weekly Splendid Table newsletter featured a Tom Colicchio…

These are tasty little morsels(if I do say so) seeing as how I keep popping them in my mouth and I'msurprised there are any left. My intention was to make them for my son for…

Ruby Red Grapefruit Curd by Nikki S. Moore

Nothing brightens up January like a box of citrus waiting on your doorstep. My in-laws send us a gigantic box of Ruby Red grapefruit and oranges every year and it is always a welcome treat.
