When I first saw this recipe on Epicurious, I knew I had to make it. It sounded like the perfect, lighter pasta dish for spring and summer. Spicy sausage, fresh basil, peppery arugula…. I was so right. The sauce was incredibly bright because of the fresh herbs and arugula. It was not too…

Simple Chicken Noodle Soup
There was a little bit of a chill in the air here recently. After a few 80 degree days, the 40 degree air felt rather frosty! It was the perfect reason to use some of my homemade stock which was taking up several cubic feet (yes feet!) of my tiny freezer.
Caramel Rolls
If you are going to the trouble of making homemade cinnamon rolls, you should make them even better… Caramel Rolls!
Italian Sausage Stuffed Bread
My husband remembers the first time I made Italian Sausage Stuffed Bread; the flavors are definitely memorable! I was living in a college apartment with my sister at the time. While she was getting ready to go out to dinner with friends, this bread was in the oven baking. As soon as she…
Great Grandma Sara’s Banana Bread

Emeril’s Alfredo Sauce
Creamy and cheesy, alfredo sauce is delicious. I’ll admit that I’m one to buy a jar at the supermarket rather than embark on the journey of making my own, but that was not the case the other night…
Easy Quiche Lorraine
“Very clever dinner. Appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.” “It’s a quiche.” “How do you spell?” “You don’t spell it son, you eat it!” Name that movie.
Tender Flaky Pie Crust
I posted this recipe initially when I wrote about Lemon Meringue Pie (which tasted delicious but looked like, well, goo?). I thought the crust deserved a post of its own. Tender Flaky Pie crust is great for dessert pies or even savory pies. Especially which featured how I roll out crusts… It would…
Garlic and Cheese Biscuits
When you don’t have time to bake a loaf of bread, or even run to the store to grab one from the bakery, these biscuits should hit the spot! They are reminiscent of those from a national seafood chain, but can be made in the convenience of your own kitchen.
