Christmas is next week and the chocolate in my advent calendar is vanishing day-by-day. Can we hit the rewind button? If Christmas is almost here, that means the Holidays are almost over. This is probably a breath of fresh air for Devin. Now that I’m a dad, I can sort of understand why she thinks […]
Christmas is almost upon us and boy, am I excited. Food, food and food! For some people they look forward to the gifts. For me, I look forward to being with my family and yes, you guessed right, food. Tis’ the season to be hungry. I love all the festive dishes during this time of […]
Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What a hectic weekend of traveling, lot’s of eating, mingling and (possibly) gladiatorial combat if you participated in any Black Friday shopping. Ever since I watched the Hunger Games, I always imagine someone announcing, “May the odds be ever in your favor” before the doors are unchained. If you […]
Holy cow! Thanksgiving sure did sneak up on us. I honestly can’t believe it is that time of the year again. I’m so excited because it is my favorite time of the year. The last two months of the year are all about food. There is Thanksgiving and Christmas (and any of the other holidays […]
First things first, sorry for having to postpone this week’s entry. My little tornado of a son has not been feeling well. He went from an F2 to an F5 in a matter of days. Poor little guy has been sleepless and crabby. With that said, any excess time I have goes to extra cuddles […]
What a busy, busy week! Between family staying with us, taking down Halloween decorations and putting up Christmas decor, there are not enough hours in a day. When the day is just not allowing you to stop and cook/prep a nice big meal, those bad eating habits tend to creep up on us. Those of […]
“…Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful…” I know, some of you think it’s a bit early for Christmas Carols. But is it? It’s already November! The leaves have fallen and the weather is getting wintry. Tis’ the season (I just can’t help myself!) for stews, soups, casseroles and, you […]
I realized upon trying recipes for this week’s post, that I had not made the obligatory (nay, MANDATORY) pumpkin dish for fall. Even though November is still pumpkin season full of soups and pies, Halloween really marks the end of fall and beginning of winter when it comes to food, decor, music and all-around atmosphere. […]
Our recipe for the day is a paleo and gluten-free Earl Grey Shortbread Cookies dipped in dark chocolate. Before I start my customary prologue before my recipes, I would like to apologize for the delay in this week’s post. My little monster is cutting two molars. For those of you who have had the pleasure […]
Say it with me, cauliflower cottage pie. What is a cauliflower cottage pie? It is a cottage pie, more commonly known as a shepherd’s pie, topped with mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes. It is believed that cottage pies originated from Scotland. Usually its anatomy consist of a meat and gravy filling topped with mashed potatoes. […]
