One of my favorite things to do at the holidays is a Charcuterie Spread. I have a friend – she shall remain nameless – who collects cheese and charcuterie boards. I, for one, think its a fabulous thing to collect. Mostly because – HOW FUN, but also because I can borrow them! She graciously lent…

Watermelon and Feta Salad
What’s more American than Watermelon? Ok ok, hotdogs, baseball, etc. But, this healthy salad feels decadent and gourmet, but it simple and delicious. And to me, watermelon just feels like summer, especially July 4th. If you’re looking for an easy potluck salad that isn’t boring for your holiday activities – this is a winner….
Peanut Butter Bacon Stuffed Dates
Well, for all of us here in South Western CT the blizzard of 2015 was a bust. Instead of dumping 2-3 feet of devastating snow, Juno left us with a pretty 10-12 inches, which in my book is the perfect amount of snow. It is enough to coat everything in a beautiful fluffy layer of…
Olive Tapenade and Goat Cheese Bruschetta
The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is both my favorite and most stressful time of year wrapped up into one shiny overstuffed package. You have the parties, the shopping, the family gatherings, the ugly sweaters (okay these are actually pretty fun) all of which I both love…but after a month or so start to…
Gravlax with Lemon Caper Cream Cheese
With Hanukkah around the corner, I thought I’d try my hand at some Gravlax. My hubby also loves smoked salmon, so it’s also a nice treat for him. We recently did Whole30, and the thing he craved most was a gravlax. Most gravlax is made with sugar, but I replaced the regular sugar with coconut palm…

Roasted Corn & Bacon Guacamole
Yum This week Sara is on vacation in Florida, which means I am all alone. When you work from home and your only coworker goes on vacation you realize what little contact you actually have with the outside world. Most of the day it is just me and the dogs…all alone. Don’t feel bad for…

Yum Day 3 of cleaning up Pinterest is number 18 on the list from the Buzz Feed article 20 Recipes that Won Pinterest in 2013. This double decker taco recipes looks delicious.

Vegetarian Antipasto
If you haven’t noticed we have been on an international kick the last few posts. First, we did the aebleskiver, then the cilantro lime quinoa, now this antipasto! We knew we wanted to do something in the Italian family, so instead of doing a heavy pasta dish, I went with this fresh antipasto. I decided…
