Happy Sunday all! I hope everyone is doing well, staying safe and cooking up a storm like we are. Since the Illinois stay-at-home order was extended through May 30th, I’ve decided to pick up a few new hobbies in my ‘spare’ time to keep me positive and staying […]
This boldly flavored soup recipe is perfect for the cold winter months and provides a hint of spring to come with plenty of bright herbs. My mom always made great french onion soup, which I posted about years ago. I thought it was time to revisit the recipe […]
A tasty dinner party idea featuring smoked salmon, white fish, trout, cheddar, gouda, manchego, feta and more! Oh man guys, this was a yummy, yummy day. As one of our ongoing culinary adventures with friends D & Laura (remember our from scratch pastrami party?) we decided we should […]

Well, I’d be silly not to start off this post with my husband’s quote on this recipe that goes a little something like this – “this is the best mac & cheese EVER.” Not super poetic, but I think it gets the message across that this is pretty […]
You know how a certain flavor can take you back to a time and place? Well for some reason every time I have tarragon I’m zipped back to the 80’s – like I see Cybill Shepherd, Reagonomics and blazers with shoulder pads. I couldn’t quite figure out why […]
