Roasted Butternut Squash Bisque (with Maple Cream)

Belinda Bartholomew — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:56:47 +0000

This past Saturday, it was cold, rainy, and dreary. The kind of day where you want to cozy up on the couch in your sweats with a fuzzy blanket and eat a warm bowl of soup. I’m not talking about watery canned soup – I’m talking about a thick, creamy soup that is hearty AND […]

Turkey Sausage Stuffed Peppers

As a kid growing up, I was not a stuffed pepper fan. At all. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I realized I really do like stuffed peppers, just not green stuffed peppers. Once I started making them with red, orange, or yellow sweet bell peppers, it was a complete game changer […]

There is something irresistible about a big, messy, two-handed reuben sandwich. It is an explosion of flavor and textures in your mouth! The juicy corned beef, gooey Swiss cheese and tangy sauerkraut all hugged together with a smear of Thousand Island dressing and toasty rye bread. It is HEAVENLY! My favorite version of the classic […]

It’s that midway point in March where everyone is ready for spring to start but then we have that late winter Nor-easter. The past couple days have been cold, blustery, and snowy.

Years ago, when I was a child, one of my favorite places to eat was Chi Chi’s. Do you remember that Mexican chain restaurant? They would start you out with tortilla chips and fresh salsa. Then they would bring out those huge platters steaming with refried beans, chimichangas, enchiladas, and Mexican rice. Everything was coated […]

It combines chorizo sausage with ground beef to create an intensely flavorful meatloaf that is finished off with a tangy, slightly spicy glaze that just takes it over the top! If you are looking for a new twist on an old favorite, look no […]

The Best Gingersnaps

I love when the holidays arrive! It’s a time for families to get together and share memories. The nostalgia isn’t complete without the aroma of fresh cookies baking in the oven. In my family, cookie baking used to start as soon as the leaves changed colors. I would come home from school to the smell […]
