I love hazelnuts, but I have never been a big fan of chocolate hazelnut spread. Trevor is the same way. This homemade version, however, is a completely different story. We eat it on toast, tart apples, or (usually) just by the spoonful. You can buy roasted hazelnuts (I get them at Trader Joes) to make […]
Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Pistachios
Usually we just eat Brussels sprouts roasted with a little salt and pepper, but when my friend told me about how she likes to drizzle a balsamic reduction over the top, I knew I needed to try it. This dish may be my new favorite way to eat this vegetable--the sprouts stay crisp, the nuts […]
M&M Cookies
Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week because it is the only day that I always take completely off from school work. This means I get to spend the whole day with Thompson and Trevor. Because Trevor usually has meetings after church, Thompson and I get a few precious hours of one-on-one […]
Roasted Green Cauliflower & Purple Potatoes
Roasted veggies are a mainstay of our family meals. The recipe is basically this: cut up pretty much any vegetable/s, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and +/- some flavor additions. Throw them in the oven to cook while you make the rest of the meal. At our table, bonus points are added […]
No-Knead Maple, Pecan, & Oat Bread
I often make this to take as gifts to friends or to bring to potluck meals. The recipe is almost always requested by those who try it. Not only does it taste like it came from a bakery, but it is incredibly easy and almost fool-proof. The crust is crackly and crisp, and the inside is soft […]
Garlic Cashew Chicken
I first had this recipe when my sister in law made it for us, and it quickly became one of our favorites. My favorite part is the sauce, which I would be happy to eat on just about anything. We keep it fairly mild for our 4 year old, but you can add more jalapeno […]
Tortellini with Caramelized Onion & Butternut Squash Sauce
When we sat down to eat tonight, Thompson looked at his plate and told us he would like something different. We told him that was our dinner. He looked down, genuinely nervous, and said, "is it going to be that bad?". I reassured him it wouldn't. He ate one bite, then another, then downed two […]
