Christmas is t minus NOT ENOUGH DAYS. The adult in me ( no matter how small an influence she has on my day to day) is pleading the universe for a few extra hours, days, minutes…whatever it can spare. I have procrastinated the past few weeks away with watching and re-watching Christmas episodes of ERContinue reading “Rugelach”

Plum Tart
Growing up – we had a plum tree in the backyard. In the far northeast corner of the yard – bellied up next to the stone covered alley and at the edge of the property line. I think it was a plum tree…I mean, it is what the whole family extended and otherwise referred toContinue reading “Plum Tart”
Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt
Have you been basketballing this weekend? Fun fact…this weekend, the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, is the most common time of year for males to get a vasectomy. Get snipped and recover with an ice pack placed just perfectly so, basketball on the tube, and a beer in the hand. I find this toContinue reading “Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt”
Banana Walnut Bread
Some days…don’t ya just need a down to earth, basic, no bells and whistles recipe where all the ingredients are more than likely in your pantry and doesn’t involve Googling one of the ingredients, because seriously you live in a podunk town in middle Ohio and extra virgin coconut oil or cookie butter just hasn’tContinue reading “Banana Walnut Bread”
Farro, Cheddar, Walnut, and Apple Salad – A Virtual Salad Party
Wanna know a secret? I adore salads. I will swap out a side of fries for a side salad 98% of the time, especially if the eatery has chunky blue cheese dressing or their side salad is made with mixed greens and topped with egg.

The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap…Chocolate Pistachio Sables
‘Tis the season for garland. 24 hours of Christmas carols on the radio. Christmas movies overflowing on Netflix…which leads to White Christmas and continuous loop finding their way into the same sentence. Rooftops outlined in twinkle lights…making me question people’s idea of what a straight line actually is … because if it means wavy, theyContinue reading “The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap…Chocolate Pistachio Sables”
Cherry Chocolate Banana Bread
I don’t like banana things. I like bananas…I take that back, I love actual, real life, peel and eat, yellow … and let’s be clear on the yellow…darkish yellow, not the new yellow that leads one to believe it was green just moments ago… they must be, ya know, perfectly ripe bananas.

Broccoli Salad
My week days consist of me telling people they can’t eat broccoli. Or brussel sprouts or kale or god-forbid any greens – including but not limited to turnip and collards. And do not even think about spinach. But I feel really bad about the broccoli. I blame the drug they’re on…it is the main reason. Continue reading “Broccoli Salad”
Oatmeal Pecan Scotchies
Food is quite the memory jogger. A trigger of sorts. Much like music. Or certain smells. I don’t know if everyone is like this, but I want to think that a warm chocolate chip cookie takes everyone back to their childhood – I think my first memory of a chocolate chip cookie and looking back,Continue reading “Oatmeal Pecan Scotchies”
