I’ve had this recipe in my back pocket for a while now and I finally got around to whipping it together. The first time I had this dish was when Betsy and I hosted a brunch a while ago for some of her law school friends. One of them brought this deliciously wonderful thing that [...]

Let the record clearly show: I was not defeated by spanakopita. After my abysmal failure last week, I bounced back, re-grouped, read about 20 different recipes, bought a bunch of spinach, and tackled it with a fresh pack of phyllo dough and a fresh attitude. Just to show spanakopita who’s boss, I decided to make [...]

Not that I’m dissing on Funfetti… I actually love the stuff, but I figured we might not be the only bake sale participants who thought to [...]

There’s nothing like a warm breakfast during the fall. Similarly, there’s nothing like a warm dessert! This baked apple dish can kind of be both. I call it a breakfast baked apple because I stuffed it with homemade granola leftover from my peanut butter granola bars! When a baked apple is done right, it is [...]

When I reviewed the Red Sage cookbook a few months ago, I bookmarked a few recipes that I wanted to come back to later. While there are some challenging recipes in this book, I picked a spiced pork chop dish to make for a small dinner party a few weekends ago that I thought would [...]

Sometimes, and this is one of those times, I’m not entirely clear on the difference between a pie and a tart. I know, generally, the difference between the two (I think). Pies are usually deeper, have a flaky crust, and are normally served in the pan they are baked in. Tarts meanwhile have a more [...]
