Almond Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wishing you the happiest of holidays as we celebrate our Savior’s birth! I’ve tried to keep the true meaning of this time of year in the forefront of my mind. It seems so common to say that but I’ve spent time, purposeful time, on that thought. It is ALL of Him BECAUSE of Him and…

Sweet Potato Stuffing

In the beautiful midst of the holiday season, I’m happily enjoying my third batch of this sweet potato stuffing. Going gluten free, many complain they miss the ‘hearty’ or ‘filling’ aspect of gluten products. This stuffing has both hearty and filling and that’s just in the potatoes…never mind the savory sausage or sweet onion that…

Tuscan Soup

As much as I love seasonal foods, this soup is perfect year round. I love how light this soup is yet still has hearty vegetables and sausage, turkey sausage that is, that will please a crowd. Of course you can make this with dried herbs, but I love with a burning passion fresh herbs. You…

Roasted Chicken

Roasted Chicken is a staple in our home. I’ve tried variations of this classic recipe, but this is the one I always come running back to. I wish I could have my own chicken farm and raise chickens and just have so many chickens and roast chickens and have everyone come over and enjoy them….

Cranberry Almond Bark

Talk about an easy, delicious, and absolutely beautiful dessert! I’ve been searching for some dessert recipes that are simple enough that I don’t need to go out and buy a bunch of weird ingredients that I will only use one a year.  This bark is so simple and uses just three ingredients…that I usually always…

Beef Stew

I hope you can partake in my excitement and make this beef stew recipe. It is the best beef stew I’ve ever tasted…ever! It is bursting with flavor. Between the beef, the wine, and the mushrooms…I am in beef stew heaven. I do advise you to use red wine that you enjoy since you will…

Sweet Potato Shepard’s Pie

I tended to roll my eyes at the thought of having casserole as a child. I had many Shepard’s Pies made with white potatoes and usually zero flavor. This recipe is so delicious because of the full flavor because of the sweet potatoes. I also find this perfect mix of vegetables is not only classy,…

Chocolate Chocolate Cookies

Whenever I have the random urge to make cookies during the week…I get a sudden rush of adrenaline! I don’t typically don’t make cookies for an unnecessary reason because  I’d end up eating the entire batch…yes I’ll admit it. So these little treasures came out of a little urge and a little research. After I…

Turkey Meatballs

In my ever ending quest to make healthy food affordable, I’ve fallen in love with ground turkey. Without babbling on about the health benefits of ground turkey and harms of red meat, you’ll just have to take my word for it…poultry is a much healthier alternative.  These little meatballs are super versatile as I’ve added…

Butternut Squash Soup

Fall time in the kitchen is my absolute favorite. I love living in New York where I get to experience all four seasons, however, fall is a crisp breath of fresh air that I welcome with open arms each year. Root vegetables and squashes are found in almost every meal I serve this time of…
