Salads! A long lost friend since coronavirus began. Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of making salads at home because I feel like it doesn’t matter what I do, they do not taste restaurant-quality and the dressings in particular seem to require a ton of ingredients that I don’t keep on hand. So I end buying weird ingredients and the cost adds up, then the DIY dressings rarely taste awesome and I end up with a bunch of random stuff taking up space in my fridge door or pantry because I needed a tablespoon of it once upon a time. Anyone else feel my pain in this department?? All of that to say, I was pleasantly surprised to LOVE this salad!! So much so, I had a bowl of it again today.

Refreshing Summer Salad

While temps haven’t been quite as warm here in NYC as they seem to be for our family and friends back in KY, we have still been looking for ways to cook “cooler” sides for our meals as we inch toward summer. Last night, we tried a recipe for a Radish Cucumber Salad. It was so refreshing and something different to mix up our veggie sides.

Brunch Diaries: Shrimp and Grits

Another Sunday of social distancing means another brunch at home! I may be from the South (people can say all they want about Kentucky being the mid-west, but clearly they’ve never been to Kansas [aka the true mid-west in my book, also my birthplace] or like Missouri… I digress) but I somehow relocated to the north before ever trying grits! I know, shocking, right??

Gluten Free Stroganoff

Stroganoff was my favorite type of Hamburger Helper growing up. So when I went gluten free in 2015, I was excited to come across this amazing gluten free alternative! It tastes pretty spot on, I would imagine the only difference from the real stroganoff maybe being the texture of the noodles!

Patriotic Fruit Tray

Darrell LOVES fruit. At his old house in Lexington, he actually had a very large piece of wall art with different types of fruit all over it, haha! While we won’t be gathering with friends or family to celebrate the holiday weekend, I thought a cute fruit tray would still be fun to put together for us two. I can’t claim this idea as my own because it’s all over different websites but I did find a way to make this easy favorite gluten free!

Slow Sundays and Brunch

Ahh there’s something so sweet and refreshing about a slow Sunday. We slept in on accident, made a big brunch and now we’re off doing our own things for a few hours before we tune into a new church we’re checking out late this afternoon.

Grilled Brie and Apricot

Happy Friday! How’s everyone doing? Has your state begun opening back up for business? New York state’s plan to reopen has been a bit confusing. We are feeling the cabin fever, which has led to the creation of some interesting lunches and why I wanted to do a fun, laid back food post for today! Consider this Part II to “fancy grilled cheese” (see Grilled Gouda and Green Apple)!

Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Cauliflower - meh! Cauliflower with cheese - I’m listening!! Can anyone else relate?? Darrell has been the driving force in trying cauliflower-based foods. Knowing he likes it has me looking out for cauliflower-related recipes. The loaded cauliflower turned out sooo yummy last month so when I came across a recipe for cauliflower mac and cheese I thought we’d give it a try! The first time we tried this recipe was actually the night I photographed the fried pork chops for the blog. It was our side dish that night and then Darrell cooked it for lunch one day earlier this week!
