Brittany's PantryIce Cream Sodas for a heat wave!
What a week! I pretty much scrapped my plans for blog post this week for two reasons. First of all, we are having a garage sale this week and as anyone who has ever had a garage sale knows, it kinda sucks. Which leads me into my second reason: its HOT!! Really…
Iceberg Slaw
Everyone needs a fall back recipe. Something that is cheap, easy, and goes with everything. Like a perfume that you can wear to the beach or to brunch with your in-laws. This, my friends, is one of mine. It has very few ingredients, all of which I generally have on hand. And…
Chocolate Cherry Almond Clusters
I have never really like almonds. Ok. I shouldn’t say that. Its not that I don’t like almonds, they just always seem to be in the way. Ground up and coating my fish? No thanks. A whole, big, chunky almond in my trail mix? Too big of a bite. And for some…
Classic Potato Salad
If you have glanced at your calendar lately, you know that July 4th is right around the corner. But really, whether you are celebrating Independence Day with family and friends, or you have a slew of pot luck dinners and barbecues to attend, potato salad always seems to make its way into…
Carrot & Ginger Rice W/Lime
A year or two ago, a good friend of mine told me that even though she cooked all kinds of recipes from this blog, she spent the most time finding side dishes and new ways to cook vegetables than anything else. This was kind of interesting to me and I thought about…
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
There are so many things I love about this dish, that I just…like…I can’t even deal. This might sound weird, but the fact that I finished this recipe just in time for summer is really the best part. Because now I, and of course you, can enjoy it all. season. long. *sigh*…
Classic Deviled Eggs
I learned a lot of things from my parents. I learned how to sew, how to cook, how to check all the fluids in my car, and how to change a tire. My Mom taught me how to be a good public speaker and how to bake. My Dad taught me how…
Caesar Salad
Caesar salad and I have a kind of love, hate relationship. Up until just a few years ago, I was more of a french or bleu cheese dressing type of gal. I thought caesar salads were quite boring actually. At least with a house salad you get tomatoes, maybe some cheese, a…
Honey-Lemon Grilled Chicken
So here it is. Many of you email me or send messages asking for healthy, gluten-free, dairy free, easy meals. Well, my lovelies, it doesn’t get much better than this. Much like the oh so popular grilled pork chops, this recipe requires minimal ingredients and minimal effort with a big return. The…
Power Parfaits & Quinoa Granola
A few weeks ago, I confessed my love of quinoa. When I recently came cross a recipe that called for cooked quinoa in granola, I nearly fell off my chair. I thought it was brilliant, and before I had even made any I was sold. Granola is a protein, nutrient rich food…
White Sangria
Don’t let this simple and unassuming picture fool you. That little drink above packs a heck of a flavorful punch! If you are a regular reader, you know that I don’t really drink. But there are a handful of cocktails and party drink recipes that I rely on when I have adult…
Pomegranate Sorbet W/Mini Chocolate Chips
Greetings! I am just popping in quick to share one of my favorite recipes! This past weekend was Race Weekend! Otherwise known as the-weekend-my-family-comes-down-from-Minnesota-to-run-in-the-Illini-half-marathon! My sister and her boyfriend drove down this year and surprised me by showing up with my other sister, just in from Seattle! We had a wonderful little…
Spring Asparagus W/Raspberry Vinaigrette & Walnuts
Its spring! And spring means asparagus! My family and I wait all year for asparagus to fill the farmer’s markets and grocery stores. I know that nowadays we can get it imported from Peru and thus enjoy it year round, but I prefer to eat it in season from as local of…
How To: Basic Quinoa
Over time, there are some things that eventually become part of your life, even if they never made an appearance in it before. My children, high heels, heirloom tomatoes and kale, my MacBook-all these things that were previously absent from my life, but now are permanent fixtures. I could easily add quinoa…
Parmesan Tilapia
Yeah, tilapia! You all know how much I love tilapia. Next to salmon and shrimp, it is one of my most favorite kinds of fish or seafood. It has a clean, mild flavor that is just…good. The whole family does a collective cheer if it shows up on the menu. In the…
