Brittany's PantrySweet Potato Fries & Pepper Lime Mayo
I love love love sharing recipes like this with you. I love them because they take something as simple and humble as baked sticks of sweet potatoes and elevates them to a side dish or snack that you remember. Like the difference between wearing a little black dress on a date with…
Cream Cheese Ice Cream
In the previous post, I mentioned that I like to serve the Cranberry Maple Pudding Cake with cream cheese ice cream. Well, here it is! This is actually the first ice cream I ever made from scratch at home. Not strawberry, not vanilla, not a nice creamy peach. Cream cheese ice cream. And yes,…
Smokey Smoothie-Blueberries, Bananas, & Spinach
This smoothie is what I have been making lately so naturally, I want to share it with you! It gets frozen in these little thingamabobs and then added to my daughters lunch. My boys-especially my almost 1 year old-suck down whatever can’t be frozen, and I just end up trying to steal…
Sweet Potato Hash
I made this for dinner last night and my husband was very upset with me. Not because we had Sweet Potato Hash for dinner, but because I was making it while he was on the treadmill. He came up from the basement, panting and sweaty, with a scowl on his face. “Are…
Roasted Garlic Sandwich Spread & Mason Jars In The Fridge
I was mixing up this spread and found myself telling my husband this story: When I was a kid, there was always a quart mason jar in the back of the fridge filled with what looked like mayonnaise, but that I knew was really filled with a strong smelling garlic concoction my…
How To: Roast Garlic
Roasted garlic! Finally! I have been meaning to blog about this for forEVER! If you have never done it before, you are in for a tremendous treat! Not only is it ridiculously easy, but once you eat it and cook with it, you will wonder how you ever got along without it….
Buttermilk Cremes
I had a brief moment of hesitation when deciding to post this recipe. Very brief. Like, so brief it is barely worth mentioning. And yet here I am, talking about it… But THEN! Then, I came to my senses and started typing! I thought that another custard recipe so soon after creme brulee…
Creamy Tomato Soup
So. If you are a regular reader of Brittany’s Pantry, you know that I am not the biggest fan of soup. My husband and kids? Yes. Me? No. Unless it is ice cream, I would rather eat meals that require a fork. However, if you know that about me, you also know…
Pomegranate Glazed Carrots
I generally think of carrots as a kind of perfect side dish. Aren’t they a kind of super hero in the culinary world? When they showed up as an ingredient on Iron Chef America, people cheered! Hooray! A familiar food that you can do…ANYTHING with!! With the exception of cooking them until…
Baked Garlic Brown Rice
I have a confession to make. I’ve been holding out on you. (Ooo…this is hard to say…) OK. I’ll just type it really fast! Sometimes I make food and I don’t blog about it! Phew! I’m glad I got that off my chest… In truth, its good food. Food that you would…
Simple Fudge
Greetings! Its almost Christmas!! AH! If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know that I recently finished testing a lot of fudge recipes. If you follow me on the street you would probably be able to tell by the size of my hips that I have recently finished testing a…
Creme Brulee: Showstopper
Creme Brûlée. A rich and creamy, lightly sweetened custard topped with toasted sugar so crunchy you have to ‘crack’ it to eat it. *sigh* If you have never eaten this, I have no words to describe it that would do it justice. If you have had it, you are swooning off your…
Classic Mashed Potatoes
The title of this post makes me drool a bit. It isn’t the picture or the recipe, just the promise of potatoes and butter. And like most honest, upstanding, hardworking Americans raised in the midwest, potatoes and butter have a special place in my heart and on my plate. A very special…
Green Beans W/Mushrooms & Bacon: Hold the cream please…
Is it weird that I can’t stop staring at this picture? The way the beans nestle in the bowl; the way the mushrooms and bacon add contrasting textures. I love the bright, verdant green against the stark white of the bowl and the soft brown of the antique wood table beneath…I just…
Pork & Prune Stew
Whenever I come across this recipe I think of Fall. It is exactly the kind of dish to warm you up after a long day of raking leaves, picking apples, running around a pumpkin patch, or just plain spending time outdoors bundled against the cold. It is warm and hearty with an…
