Growing up in Maine I ate my fair share of chowder (also known as chowdah). So I have a special place in my heart for it. As should everyone- a thick, creamy soup that will warm you through to your bones, what’s not to love? It’s what the doctor ordered for a cold winter day. It’s a remedy for pretty much anything. And this version, well the bonus is that it won’t give you heart disease like SOME chowdahs I know. So, my friends, what are you waiting for? Eat up! xx- Sarah {recipe after the jump}
This was a meal born out of necessity. I opened the refrigerator to prepare dinner and realized that I was going to have to get creative with a bunch of kale, a bag of potatoes on their last leg and my one remaining onion. This is when I thanked the universe for mashed potatoes and got to work. It’s pretty much a guarantee that we’ll be eating these at least a couple of times a month now, they were so delicious and easy to throw together my only regret is that I’ve lived this long without them! xx- Sarah {recipe after the jump}
I really wanted to share a recipe for ginger molasses cookies with you today. As evidenced here I gave them the good college try. And while the texture and consistency was spot on, the taste was…. I think disgusting is really the best word to describe them. Lou actually spit the bite he took out. Ouch! A complete baking fail. It happens. It happens to me a lot, actually.
I have a confession to make: I rarely follow recipes. I realize how that may sound coming from someone who develops recipes, but the truth is my fun in the kitchen is had by experimenting. And although my cookies were basically inedible, I had a great time making them and coming up with ideas on how to re-do them. Yes, I am reinventing the wheel. But what’s so wrong with that? Wouldn’t you love to be the person who REINVENTED THE WHEEL?! I suppose it’s all about how you look at things. I suppose LIFE is all about how you look at things. (note to self) But, since the molasses ginger cookies were inedible, I have to move on from them for the moment. Instead I present you with Laura’s Vanilla Bean Waffle Ice Cream Sammies With Maple Berry Mash. These are the exact opposite of a cooking fail. GET IN MY MOUTH. xx- Sarah
Since the temperatures have dropped and I’m no longer loving smoothie bowls in the mornings I’ve been on the hunt for tasty ways to incorporate my favorite super foods into my routine. And these balls (heh) are the perfect answer! They’re easy to throw together and perfect to grab for a quick energy pick-me-up snack when I need it. Full of superfoods AND the insanely healthy walnuts, they’re pretty much like taking a big ol’ bite of health. WIN WIN WIN. Hope you love! And have a fantastic weekend friends! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
It’s a very mature food blogger that can write about warm salty nuts without falling into the innuendo trap. I’m OBVIOUSLY one of them. However, if you should want to leave some innuendo-laden post title suggestions in the comments who am I to judge? I do love to laugh! Can we all agree to take life a little less seriously today, to have a chuckle over some childish humor while munching on some warm salty nuts? I think we should. XX- Sarah {recipe after the jump}
I’ve done it. I’ve found the PERFECT gluten free pasta. I could never love another gluten free pasta more, unless it were made of healthier ingredients. This is a treat for us, I try to stay away from processed foods, so noodles that aren’t made of vegetables are a rare thing in this house- but when they make an appearance I WANT TO MARRY THEM. This spaghetti brings me straight back to my childhood- the perfect indulgence for a cold winter night. I hope you love as much as I do! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
