Rockin Egg Nog

Hello Hello! First, I want to wish you a happy holidays. Hopefully you’re staying warm this season. I’m writing this post while Dustin bakes my birthday cake. Yes – today is my birthday! WOO! This years has been a crazy one. It’s been filled with many, many ups and downs. […]

Chicken Saltimbocca

Hello! Well, here’s my own spin on Chicken Saltimbocca. I know what you’re probably thinking. This isn’t Chicken Saltimbocca. Well, it is and it isn’t. Obviously the Provolone, mushrooms, and Marsala Wine are not in the traditional recipe. I sort of meshed Chicken Saltimbocca with Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parm. […]

Kielbasa Soup

Hello! Here we are in the throws of soup season. This was last Sunday’s little project. Dustin and I saw a meat shop in the Poconos and decided to stop in. We walked out with a ring of Kielbasa – YUM! We had a few pieces and both decided to […]

Beef and Gravy Noodles

Hello! I’ve got a great recipe for you! It’s warm, it’s hearty, it’s noodley…it’s just oodles and oodles of goodness. Dustin learned how to make this from his mom, and the first time he made it for me, I was licking the bowl clean. Not kidding. It’s one of those […]

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. […]
