Gluten-free Breakfast

I think the worst thing about trying to be gluten-free is breakfast options. I was a pastry every day girl. Now? Well, now it takes a bit more effort. But in truth, it’s delicious. Like cold cuts, pickles and hard boiled eggs. Or yogurt with granola and chocolate sprinkles. But this has to be my…

A trip to Germany Inspires

i just got back from an extremely spontaneous and short trip to Berlin. It was amazing! While there, we ate at two really great restaurants, Hasir (Turkish) and Schogl’s (German). I loved every bite. Now that I’m back, I wanted to share that yumminess with my family (really, I had to recreate the deliciousness before…

i have been cooking a ton lately and was looking through pics realizing that I haven’t been archiving some major successes. The deluge of recipes are coming. This one is perfect for this time of year. It’s freshness matches the first blushes of spring but the warm broth and hearty meat keep you cozy on…

Sunday Browns

One of my absolute favorite one pan breakfasts – this is Sunday Browns. Not only is it delicious and filling, its a great way to clean out the fridge of leftovers or those last 5 cherry tomatoes. All you need are potatoes, onions and eggs as your base. Then get creative. I like to sauté…

Cranberry and Pear Pie

This pie has become a Thanksgiving staple. It has even (gasp!) replaced my pumpkin pie. It’s the perfect amount of tart but not too sweet compliment to ending a rather filling meal. I know that it’s January but I didn’t get a chance to post this in November. I did see cranberries at the grocery…
