Holy smokes, how beautiful is this? I'm so excited for this weeks lavender recipe highlight. I recently found a beautiful blog called Gourmantine and woah is it ever beautiful. Their images are inspiring, their recipes are top knotch. Its just page after page of food porn. So so good. If you love to cook, then this is a great blog for you. And if you...
When I think of Peggy's cooking, the last thing I think about is a crock pot. She probably dies a little inside every time this blog has a slow cooker recipe on it. But lets get real, in today's busy fast paced life, sometimes you only get 20 minutes in your day to throw a meal together, and it most likely isn't near...
I think we actually should have named my son Cookie Monster. This kid loves cookies. When we go shopping, rather than wanting to head to the toy section, he wants to head to the bakery to grab a cookie. If you're a mom like me, then you probably have to worry about the amount of cookies that your kids (and probably you too)...
Who else is loves with the Pioneer Woman? Ree is the type of woman you watch on TV and just know that if you met her in real life, you would be great friends. She just always seems so happy and upbeat, and her cooking philosophy is all about what tastes good, rather than what is fussy or fancy. Love love love her....
Would this even be a real food blog if we didn't feature pumpkin chocolate chip bread in the fall? Call me a sucker but I love love love when the pumpkin flavored deserts and treats start making their debut after labor day. This treat just sings cozy on up with me in your socks and long johns and enjoy yourself. This bread has...
Its finally fall and its finally soup weather. Nothing beats a nice warm soup on a chilly autumn day. This soup is full of flavor, but also full of vegetables. Its good for you and guilt free, and something you will be happy to eat as leftovers the next day. Oh, and if that's not enough to make you want to make this...
Today's lavender recipe inspiration comes from an unlikely place. The School of Styling Blog is a self titled "place to be inspired, educated, and equipped to style with intention, build a smart business, and cultivate community." They have a ton of gorgeous photos of this Berry Lavender Cake to inspire all sorts of creativity in the kitchen. This blog is full of gorgeous...
I love a good quesadilla. Sharp cheddar, mexican flavored shrimp, and a crispy tortilla. What's not to love about this dish? If it comes together in under 10 minutes, how can that not make you happy? We use the raw tortilla land tortillas that you can buy at Costco. If you've ever had a homemade tortilla, you know the mouth-watering, chewy glimpse of...
What's for dinner? Mussels! Mussels typically aren't a meal you think of when you think of a home cooked meal. I'm not sure why, they are healthy, delicious, and actually super easy and quick to put together. The deep color of the black shells, the novelty of pulling the meat out of them, it makes for a fun interactive meal that the whole...
Today for our lavender recipe highlight, I wanted to focus on Ambitious Kitchen. The thing I love about Ambitious Kitchen is the majority of their recipes are very healthy! I love eating well and eating delicious food. If it happens to be healthy in addition to all of that? Then yes! Yes! and Yes. If you aren't already reading Ambitious Kitchen, well you...
If a snickerdoodle made a baby with shortbread, this recipe would be that baby. These have the buttery crunch of shortbread, but all of the flavor of your favorite snickerdoodle. What's not to love? Also, a major plus for this recipe? You still get the goodness of "cookies" but without the annoying need to watch the oven and cook several batches of dough....
If you're not a super foodie, hearing the words "white wine sauce" in a recipe title can be intimidating. But it actually can't be further from the truth! A white wine and butter sauce is one of the simplest biggest bang for your buck tricks out there. This sauce is flavorful, warm, and goes perfect with almost any pairing. Try this delicious and...
