I have been on a major soup kick this season. I have always made soup once during the week and once on the weekend during the school year. I am now making soup at least three times a week and we are all loving it. I also order soup when I go out to eat, sometimes as my meal. In the ...
Clamboil Recipe
The favorite meal during my summer week on Long Island is always, hands-down, the clam boil. What's not to love? It's super fun, delicious, and just screams summer. In past years my son and my nephew have actually collected mussels at the beach to contribute towards the clam boil. They require a ...
Herbed Hasselback Sweet Potatoes Recipe
To hasselback a potato (or anything for that matter) means to slice it in an accordian style so that the slices fan out resulting in crispy edges and soft interiors. You can stuff anything you want in between the slices or nothing at all, but the results are absolutely delish. I love sweet ...
Yerba Mate Chicken and Cilantro Soup Recipe
This blogpost is sponsored by the Argentinian Yerba Mate Board. All opinions are my own. Let me introduce you to my new favorite morning companion, Argentinian Yerba Mate. I have touted my love of tea many times on this blog and on my instagram, and I believe it's a wonderful addition to a ...
Breakfast Salad with Potatoes, Bacon and Eggs Recipe
I finally arrived in Chicago after a very unfortunate flight which was diverted to another airport for several hours until a storm passed through O'Hare airport. I am only here until after my segment on "Good Day, Chicago" tomorrow morning. I'm on around 9:20 am, so tune in if you live in Chicago! ...
Sweet Potato Toasts Recipe
There are some food trends that I can't embrace. Unicorn everything, please go away. And although it looks cute, I also have no time to cut my fruit into 1/2-inch star shapes and slide them into ombre parfaits. If someone would like to make me such parfait though, I would be over the moon. ...
Grain-Free Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe
I just finished teaching a fabulous breakfast menu last month and these pancakes were a favorite! I received a lot of great feedback from moms who made these for their kids and had success with even the most finicky eaters. These pancakes check off all the important breakfast boxes for me: ...
Hashbrown and Spinach Casserole Recipe
I do not want to open a restaurant, but if I did it would be called "He Said, She Said." I would have a big chalkboard menu with two sides, one for dude food and one for lady food. That way, my husband and I would always agree on a place where we could both get what we wanted. French Dip sandwich ...
Roasted baby potatoes with broccoli and cheese recipe
Because I have no association with either football team in this year's Super Bowl, all I really care about is what we're going to eat! I'm have no need to read the sports pages or listen to the experts, trying to figure out if my team has a wining chance. No big deal. I'll just ponder my ...
Roasted fingerling potatoes with gremolata recipe
I hope you all had a merry Christmas! We've had such an amazing few days with my family in New York. Christmas Eve is always such a special night and this year was no exception, with 94 of us at my aunt's house for dinner. NINETY-FOUR. And four ladies announcing they are expecting so we'll be 98 ...
Vegan mac and cheese recipe
If someone tried to coax me a year ago with a "vegan mac and cheese" recipe, I would have politely said, "no, thank you." First of all, I actually don't really like mac and cheese. Not the boxed kind and not even the homemade kind. Weird, I know. And sad for my husband who looooooves it. I used ...
