Leftovers. In some cases, like soup, they’re even better than the day they were made. Other things just become dry, congealed messes of unappetizing stuff. Not many recipes are made for one–or even two. This leads to lots of leftovers in this world. I don’t want to talk about the sad leftovers. Let’s talk about…

Brussels Sprouts Pizza
Several blocks from our place, there’s a funky restaurant that serves Brussels sprouts pizza. Yep, sprouts on a pizza. Lots of you are probably thinking how much you hate Brussels sprouts. If that’s you, keep reading. If not, maybe you’re one who just flat out enjoys their taste. Or, maybe you’re one of the lucky…
Spinach-Artichoke Ricotta Pie
We had a frozen pie crust left over from Christmas brunch, several eggs that needed using, as well as a bunch of ricotta that I overbought the last time we made lasagna. If you follow this blog, you probably know how much I don’t like to waste things. So, I decided to make use of all…
Bacon & Spinach Quiche
Christmas morning, we shared a special brunch so for the occasion I put away most of my typical healthy substitutions and went at this full force. I even bought a pie shell rather than making my own. This day was all about spending time with loved ones rather than fussing a lot in the kitchen….
Sliders–of the Beet Variety
Cold weather brings with it lots of comfy opportunities; like cozying up with a loved one under a blanket, lighting the fireplace, warming oneself from the inside w/ a glass of red wine or cocoa, and having friends over for warm apple cider & seasonal treats.

Lemon-Rosemary Sandwich Cookies with Mascarpone-Lemon Curd Creme
So it’s high time I share this recipe with the world… Well, I’ve shared it a couple times, just not yet on this blog so here goes. Do you have a party or potluck coming up? Perhaps a special someone’s birthday, graduation, etc.? Or do you just want an excuse to enjoy something decadent yet…
Jalapeño-Cheddar Biscuits
I have stacks and stacks of old Bon Appetit magazines that Chad would really love to see me toss in the recycling bin. I’m nowhere near being a hoarder and sure just about all of their recipes are online, but every now and then I really crave thumbing through an old paper issue and picking…
Western Inspiration
While on our recent 9-day excursion in the West, I discovered I have a deep love for chile rellenos. It really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me. I mean, I love cheese, I love spicy things and everyone loves something fried now and then. It never once occurred to me to order one…
