Heart Warming Minestrone
As much as I have fallen in love with the French array of pre-made soups which come in box form and feed a good six people with delicious heartiness, I was in the mood for a homemade soup. Smelling the soup cooking and stewing away and feeling the warmth fill the apartment as the snow … Read more
Caramelized Shallot and Crispy Sage Macaroni and Cheese
I felt it appropriate to return to this recipe which was featured in the first entry on my blog back in the Weebly days, because I did not give it enough attention at the time. This time I made it in France for very good friends of mine and I had the Boy and friends … Read more

As I was browsing my WordPress Reader today, I found a lovely entry by a friend and fellow blogger (Cooking For The Other Half) who had been nominated for the Liebster award…and who in turn nominated me for said award! She kindly explained the award in her post and I fell in love with the … Read more

You know what’s amazing? Banana “ice cream”
I’ve seen probably a hundred recipes about banana “ice cream” and I’ve always thought, “That’s cool” but brushed it aside. Since I’m sitting around a lot recently and happened to have a banana sitting around, I decided to try this one. In combination with my new favorite item (Smucker’s Natural Creamy Peanut Butter with Honey) … Read more
Barley Mushroom “Risotto”
This recipe is something I often crave. It’s based on one by Mark Bittman (hail, oh might food man) for a risotto style barley dish. It’s the same slow process as risotto but it’s barley so it’s got even more of a bite to it. I substitute white wine vinegar for the white wine to … Read more
Go-to Vegan Macaroni and Cheese – Cheese-a-rific!
Alright so my main qualm against becoming vegan is that I adore cheese. Love it. A vegan friend of mine, who is also a med student, told me that cheese has some components that resemble opium which makes us literally addicted. My response was, “And I will take that drug until the day I die!” … Read more
Oh hai! Vegan Chocolate Cupakes with Vegan Peanut Buttercream
EDIT: Apparently this is my 100th post on WordPress!! I will have to have a celebratory post in the near future!!! I cannot believe this is the first time I’ve posted in almost a year! I haven’t even posted once since I moved to Boston (which I’m in love with by the way). I’ve been … Read more
Cocktail Cupcakes – The Margarita
There’s one cocktail that always seems to come up when I see my girls.- the margarita. I know it’s Abbabee’s favorite! So when I found all the recipes that have popped up recently for a margarita cupcake, I figured this was a perfect opportunity to try them out. I personally am not a huge tequila … Read more
Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Scones
For our lovely girly July 4th weekend, I knew we’d need something sweet, summery, and a little bit healthy for breakfasts. When I came across this recipe for Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Scones (which are pronounced skahns, not skohns by the way…), I knew I’d hit the jackpot. No white sugar (though brown sugar … Read more
