Braised pork with carrots and parsnips

Scrambled egg pasta: looks aren’t everything

The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap!
It’s time for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap recipes! This event was conceived by bloggers Taylor and Lindsay at Love and Olive Oil, along with Julie of The Little Kitchen. Over 600 food bloggers participated this inaugural year. Every … Continue reading
The Cookie Swap is coming…
This is a tease. I’m not giving you any recipes — yet; you have to check back in on Monday. The folks at Love and Olive Oil and The Little Kitchen have created what they hope will be an annual … Continue reading
Cranberry-orange muffins
When I have a hankering for muffins, I pull out a tiny cookbook, a brochure really. It’s called “New England Muffins,” and was written by Nancy Berzinec in 1987. It has simple, unfussy muffin recipes that are completely reliable. These … Continue reading
Whole Foods contest finalist!
Whole Foods Market Cooking holds contests on a regular basis. They often challenge bloggers to post their best recipes using one particular ingredient. I entered their potato recipe contest with my Potato-Prosciutto Pizza, and recently learned that it’s a finalist! … Continue reading
