Asparagus, while delicious, isn’t the most exciting side dish out there. However there are so many ways to spice it up. Wrap it in bacon, grill it, marinate it, roast it…I pretty much will eat this veggie in any form. But I have to say, […]
Lentils. Ech, they sound so boring. But I beg you to allow your preconceived lentil notions to be redefined by One Pot Chicken and Lentils. Just like rice and pasta, lentils are good for soaking up flavor. This recipe combines some surprising ingredients, such as […]

As former New Englanders, we take chowder pretty seriously. I know I’m not a true New Englander because I grew up in Western PA. But I did eat enough of it in the 11 years I lived up north to know what I like in […]
Can we agree that the worst part of drinking hot chocolate is waiting long enough for the piping hot mug of coziness to cool down? But not too long so that it is no longer “hot” chocolate. Lukewarm easy-chug hot chocolate is just not cozy, […]
