Jan

Jen and I first met at the Big Summer Potluck a couple years ago. Her beautiful smile and adorable pixie haircut drew me to her immediately. Jen is passionate about food, especially beautiful cookies. I can say from experience that her cookies taste as good as they look, which is saying something, because they are [...]

Octoberfest Beer Barbecue Sauce

25

Nov

Not too long ago, James and I finally hit up this restaurant in our town, called the Stage House Tavern. Billed as the oldest restaurant in New Jersey (it’s been in operation since the 1700s), the place is pretty charming. The menu isn’t quite what I expected – I guess I was thinking along the [...]

Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup

Nov

I’ll let you in on a little Thanksgiving secret: I’m not cooking this year. I know, I know, this is a serious foodie sin. But hear me out. We’re staying in New Jersey for the holiday. And I just don’t see the point of cooking a massive amount of food (because I’m sorry, I don’t [...]

Pork and Beer Skillet Stew & a Le Creuset Giveaway

18

Nov

We love pork in this house. And beer. Two of the few things a Texan and a Brit might have in common from the very start, wouldn’t you say? A couple of weeks ago, James came home with a six pack of Sam Adam’s Octoberfest beer. Now, I’m not a beer drinker. But I loooooove [...]

Turkey Burger Soup

Nov

When I was a kid, many a weeknight dinner started with a jar of, as many of us Southerners term it, “Spaghetti Sauce”. It wasn’t until I moved to the East Coast that I learned a few things about my beloved Spaghetti Sauce. (Or as Davey and Ava like to call it, “Basketti Sauce”.) ‘Round [...]

I’ve had the good fortune to visit a few European countries, but Austria is sadly not one of them. It’s definitely on the must-see list though! Astrid [...]

Kielbasa, Apple and Kale Hash

Oct

Last weekend, I met up with my pals and fellow New Jersey based food bloggers, Nancy and Stephanie. Farmer’s Market strolling and lunch on the agenda, we met at the Morristown Farmer’s Market. I’d never hit that one up before, and I’m sure glad we did. While I love our Scotch Plains Market, the Morristown [...]

Secret Recipe Club: Stromboli

10

Oct

I’m finding it a little hard to believe we’ve already come around to another Secret Recipe Club posting, because that’s supposed to mean that another month has gone by. Surely that’s not the case, right? When it came time to choose my recipe from Everyday Mom, I took my time, looking through lots of old [...]
