Brittany's PantryTilapia W/Citrus Sauce: A Favorite Meal
If you had asked me what my favorite food/meal was, oh say…ten or eleven years ago, I can guarantee you that meat would have been at the top of the list. In particular, beef. I learned at an early age that a good steak is hard to top and for the most…
Peppermint Meringue Cookies: Nostalgia
It has been a long week here with surprise visits and several trips to the doctor due to a relapse in illness. In addition, my plans for this weekend have suddenly changed and I now need to clean out the fridge. Amongst several unsalvageable items-i.e. leftover pork chops I don’t even remember…
Leek & Potato Soup
Christmas is over and everyone is gearing up for the New Year. Well, most everyone. Our holiday here didn’t quite go as planned as both of my kids were are sick. No Christmas Eve appetizer dinner. No festive brunch and Christmas Day Feast. Just macaroni and cheese and soup I had frozen. We lounged…
Fruit & Nut Rum Balls
There might be some kind of rule that says I have to post lots of Christmas cookie recipes in December but I don’t really care. I actually have so many cookie recipes I could post here (literally dozens and dozens) that I couldn’t choose between them and decided to share this recipe…
Potato Gratin
Ah. We have now come to the part of Christmas dinner that people could really care less about: the side dish. For some reason, food that accompanies the main protein at Christmas, usually beef or ham and sometimes another turkey, gets forgotten. At Thanksgiving, people go on and on about the potatoes…
Roasted Shrimp-Who knew?
Actually, Ina. Ina knew. Of course I am talking about the incomparable genius of Ina Garten. A woman you may have heard me mention once or twice. Of course there is a reason that me and so many others are dedicated followers. Her recipes and philosophy in the kitchen are straight forward,…
Bon Bons
I still have the Roasted Shrimp Cocktail recipes from the party to share with you, but I haven’t posted a sweet recipe in nearly a week! For shame! This is the holiday season after all! Not every recipe this month will be rich, indulgent, or a cookie, but…well…some of them need to be,…
Sweet & Savory Mixed Nuts
Every year my neighborhood gets together and does a progressive Christmas dinner the first weekend in December. Appetizers at one house, soup and sandwiches at another house (although one year we did pastas!) and desserts at a third house. Everyone decorates their houses and all the lights are on and we visit…
Caramel Apple Dip
OK. So I know I just posted about dip, but this one is different. And everyone likes a good dip, right? Heh heh. Several years ago, my mom and sisters came to visit and it happened to be just after an apple picking excursion to a local orchard. In addition to using them like…
Salmon Nicoise
It isn’t you. Do not be alarmed. Don’t bother to rub your eyes and blink rapidly. What you are seeing is real. This is most definitely not an autumnal dish. I am slightly embarrassed to even post this right now as it uses several ingredients that aren’t exactly in season and can be hard…
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
It is fall. I know! I know! The 80 degree weather out your door (depending on where you live) is desperately trying to convince you otherwise, but it is upon us and I love it! And when certain vegetables are in season, we like to cook things that are orange. Pumpkins, squash,…
Hot Apple Cider
Hot drinks are a necessity when you grown up in the north. Something to warm your bones and thaw out the inside of your nose when the weather dips to less than 30 degrees below zero. Some steaming hot chocolate is usually at the top of my list of chosen drinks. But…
Baja Fish Tacos
I confess. If you had asked me, oh say, ten or twelve years ago, if I liked fish tacos, my answer would have been a very firm “No.” The fact that I had never had a fish taco at that time would have been irrelevant. I am from Minnesota you see, and we…
Roast Broccoli: A Nutritional Powerhouse
I am going to be honest here. All that stuff about people not liking broccoli and kids shrinking away from it in horror-I pretty much think that is all a load of bunk. Most children I know love the stuff. Most adults I know do too. But how are you preparing it? Raw…
Love a Good Recipe?
Then you’ve come to the right place! I’m Brittany, and I share tested, trusted recipes you’ll love. I prepare & photograph food, obsess over the perfect recipe, and enjoy grins of delight when I serve up something awesome. Enjoy!
