A friend of mine took me to one of her favorite lunch spots a few months ago. A little specialty shop that sells wine, oils and vinegar, nuts, dried fruit, and all sorts of other fancy little gourmet things for cooking. We each got a…
Although it wasn’t my intention, I’m afraid I have become a Caesar salad snob. Bottled dressing or store-bought croutons just don’t compare to this salad. Once you try it, I’m sure you’ll feel the same. Don’t be put off by the extra few minutes it…
Truly, these cookies have 3 ingredients. Real, wholesome ingredients. Not 3 packages of things like a lot of the “easy” recipes you see online these days. Peanut butter, egg, and sugar. That’s it! Funny story. I spent all day in the kitchen yesterday preparing for…

Chicken pot pie is one of those comfort foods we all know and love. However, I was not aware until recently how few people actually make them from scratch anymore. From talking to different people, I’ve realized most think that this classic is difficult or…
