This post, Steel Cut Oat Breakfast Bars, has been updated as of 12/9/2020 to reflect changes made to the recipe. The changes are intended to help clarify the recipe directions based on questions from readers. You guys. I’m reeeaaally needing new breakfast ideas. That doesn’t feel like a very food blogger thing to admit. Here’s the…
One of the cities I had the pleasure of visiting on my Italy trip was Parma. Food wise Parma and the surrounding area is known primarily for it’s cured meats. There is pancetta, salami, culatello, coppa, and more. But the city is also in the Emilia Romagna region so there is also amazing handmade pasta, plenty…
It’s time to talk wine my friends! As I mentioned briefly in my Italy Photo Grid post, I spent part of a day and an overnight in Italian Wine Country. More specifically I got to visit Castello Luzzano (check out this website, it’s beautiful!). That translates into Luzzano Castle in case you were wondering.
I thought I’d start off my posts from Italy with a brief over view of my trip and a big ole’ bunch of photos, because, hello, photos of Italy are awesome. I am a little disappointed, because my photos didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped. Unfortunately, I decided to test a new, very…
You guys! I’ve decided I need more connivence in my life. School is in full swing, we’re starting to get the routine under our belts, but life still feels kind of hectic. You know what I mean? I feel like I always have more things I should be getting done (cleaning! cooking!, blogging!); but I’m…
*Note: If you Googled dairy free Brazilian Cheese Bread you came to the right place. There are notes in the recipe on how to adapt it for dairy free results! School is back. I absolutely can’t believe Aiden is a first grader now; and away at school for a full day! It’s so strange not having…
I rarely bake with blueberries, despite the fact that they taste insanely good in baked goods. Blueberries are pretty expensive most of the time here in Colorado. So when I get them, I pretty much shove as many of them in my face as possible, immediately. They are too much of a treat to waste on…
Ok, there is something that is really, really distressing me and I need to tell you guys about. Have you guys seen the clothes this year? So, at the bringing of the summer I found myself in need of some new summer tops (as I often will near the beginning of a new season). Logically, I decided I’d go…
No churn ice cream recipes have been hurtling their way around the internet for at least a few years now. I’ve been meaning to give the whole concept a try, preeetty much since I started blogging. Brilliant right? Homemade ice cream that doesn’t require special equipment, tons of advanced thought, chilling of bowls, custards, etc; but…
This super duper wonderful recipe for Green Chile Mac and Cheese was actually supposed to get posted ages ago… Like, shortly after I posted my recipes for Colorado Green Chile and Smokey Green Chile. It took me like, three tries to get this mac and cheese made/photographed/ up here for you guys. I almost gave up, but…
I am the kind of person who leaves notes, lists, recipes, all over the place. Everywhere, on everything. On my legal pad, in my zillion notebooks, on the calendar, on the backs of letters, napkins, paper scraps, in my phone. I actually have a pretty good memory. But, like anyone I can forget things, which…
My husband has been requesting I make him homemade gnocchi for, I don’t know, maybe a year now. It’s not that I don’t want to make the foods that Charlie requests; but I’ve gotta admit I’ve been a little intimidated to try making gnocchi. I’d heard they were somewhat difficult to make. And so this…
I’m kinda feeling like a dork today. My husbands got me playing this phone game Clash of Clans. I’m thinking this is so not a thing in the female, almost 30, world. My husband promises me other adults actually play this game. Apparently guys at work go around asking each other, “Do you clash?” (Which is…
We’re getting to the end of Aiden’s kindergarten year. (I know every mom says this, but I can not believe how big he’s getting. It still feels like he should be just toddling around… so crazy!) While the kindergarten class is certainly still studying, they’ve also gotten to to that end of the year, fun…
I think I had a pineapple turnover for breakfast this morning. It was… strange.
