Moving to Germany, I never would have guessed that I would be inundated with the wonderful cuisine of Turkey (among many other places). There are so many new spices and dishes to try. We kept stumbling into a wonderful, slightly spicy bulgur salad, called Kisir, and loved it whether from a restaurant, deli, or from…

Ina’s Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Have I ever eaten an enchilada? I’m really not sure. I’m a quesadilla or taco girl through and through. However, with some time on my hands, I found myself browsing through my Ina recipe collection and for some reason, the enchiladas just spoke to me. I’m glad they did and I think The Husband was…
Quick and Easy Kitchen Sink Cookies You’ll Love
Winding down the clock to moving day, I’m cleaning out the pantry in a big way. After coming across many open bags of baking chips, handfuls of various nuts in the fridge, I knew that Kitchen Sink cookies were in store for our kitchen. I consulted, Simply Recipe’s Panera copycat version as a guide and…
Mustard Tomato Tart
This mustard tomato tart is a balance of tangy, sweet, salty, and a little bit cheesy. It was the perfect snack to bring along to the weekend’s barbecue and well received my friends. So easy, and not too heavy, I’ll definitely be turning to it again. Mustard Tomato Tart
Roasted Onion Ring Chips
This viral recipe is the perfect accompaniment to any steak or summer grill. If you’re like me and love some caramelized onions with your steak, this is even simpler and doesn’t stink up the whole kitchen. Meow. Get chopping. It’s viral for a good reason. Roasted Onion Ring Chips
Easy Barbeque Side: Lemony Couscous Salad
After a weekend of grilling, the star might just have been this very simple, very fresh side- lemony couscous salad. This recipe feeds about four, but make lots as it’s all anyone was really after at our barbecue. Lemony Couscous Salad For the dressing:
Nigella’s Clementine Cake
With a bowl full of aging clementines, it was the perfect occasion to throw together Nigella’s apparently legendary clementine cake. Gluten free, but it sure does use lots of eggs! It’s easy to quickly whip up in the food processor and bakes like a dream. Moist and brightly vibrant, it’s even better on the second…
Updated: Pistachio Cream Pasta
Update: After returning from Puglia this summer, I had yet to find strachiatella in any grocery stores in Switzerland. But lucky me, I stumbled across some in Geneva last weekend and pistachio pasta would have to happen. I made a GORGEOUS pasta and forgot to add the damn strachiatella cheese I’d been after for months!!!…
Chewy Pistachio Cookies
Last night I gave this recipe a go in hopes that the cookies could be a contender for this year’s Christmas plate. They very well could be with their salty, chewy, just a hint of pistachio goodness. This lovely recipe comes from Also the Crumbs Please and made 19 large cookies. They spread quite a…
Ina’s Overnight Mac & Cheese
September arrived and with it so did immediately fall. Demanding a cozy meal after a long hike, I decided to give Ina’s Overnight Mac and Cheese a go. Apparent from these terrible photos, it was wonderful, as we couldn’t wait to tuck in or attempt to plate it neatly. The creamy, nutty sauce is topped…
Food Processor Salsa
This makes a TON of salsa, perfect for a party and it takes absolutely no time to throw together. Theme of this last weekend was that it was an accompaniment so nice, there was no time to take a photo and this one certainly proved on brand.
Romesco Sauce Not to Forget
Told multiple times that this flavor profile was ‘bangin’ over the weekend, I didn’t want to forget this flavor profile, bright and fresh for summer. While I failed to grab a snap, I’ll be making this again soon. So far, it’s been a great accompaniment to chicken, roasted potatoes, and even as a salad topper…
