Sweet & Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Sweet & Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes

A little sweet (from Maple 2.0!) and a little heat, thinly sliced and roasted sweet potatoes are the perfect side dish for so many things. In fact, we’ve been eating sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes a lot lately. Because they’re just that good!

So in the United States, sweet potatoes are often synonymous with Yams. They are very different things though! While they are both tuberous…

Orange Cardamon Spelt Cake

Orange Cardamon Spelt Cake - warm and inviting 100% whole grain spelt flour is the perfect match with orange and cardamom in this soft, flavorful cake.

It is currently a crystal clear -6F outside. School has been closed for two days and all I want to do is curl up under a blanket with a good book. Or bake. Baking won out. Baking should always win out. Especially when making an Orange Cardamon Spelt Cake.

My wonderful, handsome husband bought me a Mockmill 200for Christmas this year. It has sent me on a whole grain everything spree. I want to…

Turkey Sweet Potato Chili

Turkey Sweet Potato Chili - The combination of turkey, sweet potatoes, spices, and tomatoes is so incredible you'll wonder why you never tried it before.

As I write up this blog post, the snow is flying and the wind is howling. It’s a perfect day to make a batch of this Turkey and Sweet Potato Chili. Low calorie, full of goodness and tastes anything but healthy. Plus, it’s a great weeknight comfort food meal.

Okay, lets talk chili powder for a moment can we? You can certainly buy the stuff that comes in those little foil packs. There is…

Pork & Green Bean Stir Fry in Black Bean Sauce

Pork & Green Bean Stir Fry in Black Bean Sauce

Pork and green bean stir fry is my favorite way to use the Chinese black bean sauce that I shared with you last week. Pork, green beans and shiitake mushrooms go so well together that they really don’t need any help, but stir frying them with my pungent sauce just pushes the whole thing over the top.

I had the chance to stop by one of my favorite places, the Public Market in Rochester Ny.…

Chinese Black Bean Sauce

Chinese Black Bean Sauce

Chinese black bean sauce starts with fermented black beans, lots of garlic and scallions create a pungent, delectable sauce. It’s so versatile you can use it on almost anything!

So what are fermented black beans exactly? They’re not actually a black bean at all, but a salted and fermented soybean. Fermented black beans are typically used to make Chinese Black Bean sauce, but they can also be…

Air Fryer Pork Milanese

Air Fryer Pork Milanese

A new year calls for Milanese. The lemony, sharp taste of arugla. The crispy mouthfeel of thinly pounded pork (or chicken) and the tangy bite from parmesan makes any type of milanese my favorite meal.

Seriously, I’d eat Milanese once a week if I could find enough arugula to satisfy my continuous cravings for it and how much arugula my family is willing to consume when I make this dish. I…

Braised Bacon and Sauerkraut

Braised Bacon and Sauerkraut

Excuse me while I squeeze in one last completely gluttonous post for before the year ends with braised bacon and sauerkraut. You need to consume this before all the New Years resolutions kick in and you have to eat rabbit food for the next month.

Sauerkraut, believe it or not, is actually not a German food. Kraut is believed to have orginated from China and made its way to Europe by none…

One-Pot Taco Pasta

One pot taco pasta is about to save your life! Christmas is quickly approaching and that means most of us are super busy. Between Christmas concerts featuring out children, all day baking sessions, wrapping presents, Christmas parties and last minute shopping, there isn’t a whole lot of time to get supper on the table. 

One pot dinners, instant pot meals and slow cooker suppers are my go-to…

Instant Pot Potato Soup

Instant Pot Potato Soup

Finally, we have autumnal weather here in the North East. Overnight the temperatures went from 80F to just barely 50F bringing with it soup season! Instant pot potato soup is the perfect weeknight comfort food as it takes just 30 minutes from start to finish. 

Instant pot potato soup doesn’t require an instant pot. Any pressure cooker will do. I suppose you could also do this in a slow…

Chicken Thighs in Mushroom Garlic Cream Sauce

Chicken Thighs in Mushroom Garlic Cream Sauce is the perfect comfort food that is on your table in 30 minutes or less!

The weather here lately has been a bit bi-polar, warm and sunny one day, cold and rainy the next, but October marks the start of comfort food season for me and that means recipes like these chicken thighs in mushroom garlic cream sauce.

Why chicken thighs? Honestly? They’re inexpensive and difficult to ruin. While you certainly can use chicken breasts, thighs are just my preference. I purchase…

Easy Blackberry Peach Cobbler

New Recipe Alert! No peeling required! Blackberry Peach Cobbler is a quick and easy dessert that takes advantage of local peaches and foraged wild blackberries!

Blackberry Peach cobbler is all about northern central Pennsylvania. Local Pa peaches have finally made their way to the farm stands and local farmers markets and the wild blackberries that grow along our mountainside have finally ripened.

We have to forage the blackberries. They are true, wild blackberries, not to be confused with black raspberries which are more commonly found. In order to get…

Garlic Tofu Stir-Fry

Garlic Tofu Stir-Fry is a game changer. It’s crispy, slightly spicy and full of garlic. It will turn anyone into a tofu lover!

Getting tofu crispy can take some time as you have to remove as much water as possible from it. Make sure you get the extra firm stuff. It’s easy to work with and holds its shape really well. Remove the tofu from its package and wrap in a few layers of paper towel or a…

Blue Cheese Potato Salad

New Recipe Alert! Blue cheese potato salad is a revamp on a classic. This picnic-perfect, warm potato salad gets a flavorful punch from tangy blue cheese and grainy mustard.

Blue Cheese Potato Salad is another revision on a classic, much like the Bacon Potato Salad I shared with you guys last year but with a slight difference. This potato salad is mayo-free, opting for a dressing made with grainy mustard, olive oil and a bit of tangy blue cheese.

I love using new potatoes any time I make a potato salad. They’re small and thin-skinned which means they cook up super…

Wilted Kale Salad

New Recipe Alert: Wilted Kale Salad Wilted Kale Salad takes my kale obsession to a whole new level! Thinly sliced kale is tossed with a flavor packed warm balsamic dressing that is to die for!

Wilted kale salad is perfect when you’re a person who is obsessed with kale! So obsessed in fact, that I grew three different varieties this year. To say I have a lot of kale would be an understatement. I think my family is almost over the amount kale I’ve been feeding them, but my plants say otherwise.

The other night I had some incredible rib eye steaks and as I was trying to determine what to…
