Corned Beef and Kielbasa Soup
Hello there! It’s soup season yet again! I know it’s a bit early, but once September 1st hit this year, the Halloween decorations made their debut and the soup was on the stove. I couldn’t help it. I’m very excited for Fall this year, more so than previous years. I […]
Lobster Sauce
Hello there, Who’s ready for yet another sauce recipe??? This one is chock full of goodness and lots and lots of lobster. How could anyone possibly turn this recipe down? I’ve been wanting to invent a blush-style lobster sauce for quite a while, and the other day I was inspired […]
Marinara Sauce
Helllooooooo there! Well…I’d say it’s time for another sauce recipe. I have no idea how it took me this long to create my own Marinara Sauce, but…here it is! And oh baby, is it tasty. I kept walking around the house smelling this sauce in every room, and the saucy […]
Halushki
Hello! Here’s a recipe I truly consider to be so special. It’s Dustin’s father’s traditional Halushki recipe with potato dumplings. The first time I ever tried Halushki, it was just after he made a fresh batch in the crockpot, and I absolutely loved it! I’ve eaten other versions of Halushki […]
Gooseberry Blackberry Pepper Jam
Hello! Here goes another one! Jam! Jam! Jam! It’s become an obsession of mine at the moment. A co-worker of mine gave me fresh gooseberries from her garden–quite a bit of gooseberries–and I immediately thought…JAM! This was actually a spicy batch because of the peppers I used. You can always […]
Pear Blackberry Pepper Jam
Hello! Well…I’m at it again. I can’t seem to stop making jam. It’s become an obsession of mine at the moment. It’s so darn tasty and it makes for a great gift. I’m thinking of giving jars away as Christmas gifts this year with some brie, crackers, and my homemade […]
Chicken Mushroom Potato Soup
Hello! It’s about that time of year again. It’s soup season! And I have a feeling I’m going to be making quite a bit of it to get us through these cold Pennsylvania nights. Last week I decided to make a hearty soup, but I also wanted it to be […]
Calamari Sauce
Hello! This is one of my favorite types of sauce ever! I grew up with my mom making calamari sauce every Christmas Eve. It’s incredible. The calamari really gives the sauce so much flavor, and it really is a very hearty sauce. I could eat this over anything, not just […]
Beef Short Ribs
Hello! Dustin has been craving this dish at least once a week. He whipped this up one Sunday, and the rest is history. It’s so rich and savory, and insanely hearty! We’ve been tweaking the recipe here and there, and I think this is the best version we’ve made yet. […]
