A smokey, hearty soup featuring tender turkey and buttery beans Every once in awhile the stars align with some cosmic juju and an unexpectedly delicious recipe just comes together. This is one of those recipes. I had decent expectations for this stew, but the end product really blew […]
This dinner party has cured and smoked pastrami stacked up on homemade rye bread with wonderfully funky sauerkraut we fermented. Oh, what a night. I am so excited to share this super fun dinner party we had with our friends D & Laura. We have so many foodie […]
This twist on banana bread is a great way to make a fun, tasty, seasonal Halloween treat. It is MY season dudes! Black cats, goblins, hocus pocus and all of that. While I’ve had some hurdles in the decorating department (we’re going through a slightly wacky front porch […]

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 […]
