Posted on June 20, 2020June 20, 2020 by Alexandria

Making “sour cream” from cottage cheese is the most basic and quick fix you can create in your kitchen. Although this is so simple that it barely warrants a recipe card, it’s something I make multiple times a week – I never remember to purchase sour cream – so I thought I would share it…

A mashup of chicken salad and coleslaw, this very easy recipe is great on it’s own, served on a sandwich, or as a side dish at your next barbecue. It’s cost-friendly and takes just minutes to prepare (or can be prepared a day ahead of time). I had chicken breasts still attached to the bones,…

Posted on April 28, 2020May 25, 2020 by Alexandria

Roast chicken is a meal that everyone should learn to cook and then make it again and again until it’s their very own beautiful creation. That is exactly what I have done here.

Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup, Two Ways

Posted on April 28, 2020June 7, 2020 by Alexandria

The method of this soup can be used for such a large variety of vegetables. I know that you can swap the cauliflower for broccoli, and I do not see why this cannot translate to potatoes, leeks, carrots, or any other vegetables that roast well and has a good, hearty flavor. If you don’t have…

Posted on April 11, 2020April 11, 2020 by Alexandria

The weather is warming up as we all continue to quarantine, so I make an Aperol Spritz and prepare a tin of sardines as a late afternoon snack: a simple commodity so easily becomes a little luxury. We can’t be in Italy or strolling the vineyards as my husband and I had planned for this…

There is no greater time to learn – or at least to think really hard – about how to cook all the items in your fridge or pantry. I want to share with you some of the bad and ugly of my fridge, and how I manage to salvage my ingredients and create something my…

Food brings loved ones together and nurtures tradition and nothing harnesses more joy than pouring my love into a home-cooked meal.
