This simple French classic has only 4 ingredients and comes together in about 20 minutes. Then just pop into the fridge, and it will be ready to impress at the end of your meal! Silky smooth and decadent, there is a good reason that chocolate mousse is a classic. I have been in a French cooking frenzy lately, but I am still on...
This is the classic banana bread recipe that I turn to again and again. In my world, chocolate chips are seen as a necessity in banana bread (and never ever nuts). I have experimented with swapping out 1/2 cup of all purpose flour for an equal amount of whole wheat flour which worked well. I have also used canola oil instead of butter....
This easy to whip up red lentil soup is extra creamy thanks to the addition of a potato. Healthy, comforting, and made from simple pantry ingredients. It can be vegetarian/vegan if you use vegetarian stock. It should be soup season, although the temperatures just haven't gotten there. But it is Election Day (stressful!) and I have a very sick daughter (sad), so I...
Fruity, bitter, and bubbly, the Americano is a refreshing summer cocktail that is closely related to the Negroni. Where the Negroni has gin, the Americano has club soda, so this drink has less alcohol (i.e., you can drink more of them!) I have already posted about my love of the Negroni, but when my Campari craving kicked in today (it does that), I...
This easy-drinking cocktail is made by muddling juicy blackberries, mint, and lemon and then adding bourbon and a splash of simple syrup. Summer in a frosty lowball glass! Here in Colorado we've been enjoying a rainy but very chilly spring. This means I'm bundled up indoors fantasizing about patio weather, picnics, and summery cocktails like this blackberry whiskey smash. I see lots of...
These honey-kissed corn muffins are just the right amount of sweet while also being moist and delicious. They are also seriously fast to make with only about 5 minutes of prep time and 15 minutes in the oven. This recipe is one that I turn to when I've had a black bean soup or a chili simmering in the slow cooker all day,...
Don't be intimidated by madeleines. These French butter cakes come together really quickly and easily and they are so delicious. You can even prepare the batter the day before, and then pop them in the oven just before you want to eat them. Little bite-sized cakes... could anything be cuter? They go perfectly with tea in the afternoon, but I will eat these...
