Raise your hand if you’ve ever been to the store in October, bought twelve cans of pumpkin puree only to get home and realize dang, that’s a lot of pumpkin. There are only so many pumpkin pies people will tolerate before Thanksgiving. Don’t worry, I have your solution: tangy pumpkin bars.
Banana Bread Pancakes (with Chocolate Chips)
If you’re a parent, then inevitably you’ve got a freezer full of frozen bananas. All you single people are laughing wondering why the heck we have a freezer full of bananas. Well I’ll tell you. It’s because bananas are cheap, so you buy bananas for your kids to eat for breakfast. But then he doesn’t want a banana for breakfast. And since the thought of throwing away a perfectly good banana is repulsive, you freeze it. And since it would be entirely too logical to start buying fewer bananas—you have a freezer full of them.
The Best Homemade Tomato Sauce
I’ve been working my way through the mother sauces on Rouxbe. So far I’ve done two — tomato and hollandaise. However, I think I still have PTSD from making the hollandaise so it’ll be awhile before I’m ready to share that adventure. But the tomato sauce, that’s just fun.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Asian Vinaigrette
When Joe and I lived in California last year we found a funky restaurant that we loved called The Lark. It was our go to date night spot. Sometimes we just went for drinks, sometimes we went for dinner, but regardless, we always ordered the brussel sprouts. They deep fry them and then toss them in an Asian vinaigrette. Get into my belly right now.
How to Pan Fry: Pork Tenderloin Medallions
I’m continuing my online food education each week. I’m telling you people, I love it. The course I’m currently taking is called: Mastering Your Fry Pan. I’m learning pan frying (obvi), searing, sweating, sautéing and pan tossing. The best part about learning about food is yum, you get to eat it all. Last week my mom stayed with…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Inevitably, towards the beginning of September you wake up and fall is in the air (I guess unless you’re my one reader who lives in Thailand). The temperature still reaches 90 degrees by 3pm, but the mornings are cool with a slight breeze and the air smells like fall is coming. And when that happens, the first thing I start doing is dreaming up pumpkin and butternut squash recipes (I’m about as cliche as they come).
How to Make Homemade Ketchup from Scratch
I’ve been wanting to try creating homemade ketchup for awhile anyway. Let me tell you, it was delicious. I will never eat store bought ketchup again (it’s so easy and the taste improvement is great).
Celebrating Independence with Pimento Cheese
When we were in California last week, we made sure to go to one of our favorite restaurants – the Lark. One day I’l get my act together and write a proper review of the place. But for now, let me tell you that before the Lark I couldn’t understand the pimento cheese trend.
My sister-in-law (Kathy), Joe and I decided to grab drinks and a bite to eat the night before we left. Kathy ordered the pimento cheese and it was so delicious we both went home and tried our own variations. Once we were back in Georgia, and since we live in the South and since it’s a traditional dish for July 4th, I decided to make it for the 4th of July party we attended.
Raspberry Tart: The Tart I Can’t Stop Making
As a rule I don’t like fruit desserts. Desserts should be chocolate, or at the very least made entirely of butter. I’ve been on a tart kick lately (my mom even threatened to write our Remy’s name on the birth certificate as Tart Bunting). Since the chocolate tart was starting to make guest appearances in my dreams, I decided it was time to come up with a new version – the raspberry tart. Don’t worry this one has a lot of butter.
Cosmopolitans – What I Will Drink after This Baby Shows Up
Mostly when I drink I like beer. It’s refreshing and I can have more than one. But towards the end of both of my pregnancies I have craved Cosmopolitans. Perhaps its a throwback to my early twenties. Cosmos were the first drink I learned to make as a bartender. My friends and I used to get in the hot tub and drink cosmos after a long shift. Maybe my swollen ankles and weepy self remember late evenings spent relaxing after a hard days work, because I promise you, post-baby, it is one of the first things I will be doing!

You don't need a culinary degree to make sophisticated food. I want to improve your food education. Sometimes I travel and wear new clothes, and I'll tell you about that, too.
