Heather says:
This is a very basic, dense, slightly sweet cornbread recipe. It is not to be confused with cornbread cake which, as one may imagine, is even sweeter and more cake like. Corncakes usually contain flour to lighten the batter.… Keep reading...

Smoked Sausage and Cabbage Skillet – A Basic Cooking Lesson
Heather says:
Eating locally and seasonally is a popular trend, with good reason. Choosing foods grown locally and in season reduces the amount of energy that is needed to bring the food from the farm to your table. In colder climates it isn’t always convenient or practical as late winter can mean nothing is in season.… Keep reading...
Gluten Free Dressing for Thanksgiving
Heather says:
Dressing is and always has been my favorite part of Thanksgiving Dinner. I love it day of and straight out of the fridge over the next few days.
It turns out Ray has missed dressing the last few years.… Keep reading...
Apple Cider Pancakes
Heather says:
Whenever birthday season rolls around, we like to give the birthday child a few treats of their own choosing, within reason. I do believe my middle child is a budding foodie.

Shredded Pork Burrito Bowls
Heather says
We’ve been working hard to reduce our meals out. We’ve come a long way since we first started dating and I’m thrilled about that. However, we both sometimes miss items found at certain *cough* Chipotle *cough* restaurants.
We’ve agreed to work on finding meals or recipes that satisfy those urges without breaking our budget.… Keep reading...
Crockpot Friendly Sticky Chicken Recipe
Heather says
I honestly don’t know why this recipe is called “sticky chicken”, I have the feeling it is a recipe that has evolved over the years and doesn’t exactly resemble its origins or maybe it was a family nickname. This recipe for chicken in the crockpot was a favorite on a message board I frequented a decade ago and the printed out scrap has followed me around through a few moves.… Keep reading...
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Heather says:
Buffalo chicken dip is a favorite around here. It’s also ridiculously simple and worth knowing how to make in case you’re ever invited to a sportsball potluck type event. Go team go.
I’ve had buffalo chicken on the brain recently and I was poking around Plain Chicken -a client from my day job and remembered that I’ve been meaning to make this recipe for Home Ec 101.… Keep reading...
Butternut Squash, Poblano, and Bacon Skillet
Heather says
I admit it, I fell off the menu planning wagon last week, the produce piled up, and around time to make dinner I stared into the depths of the refrigerator trying to pair flavors.
Finally I turned to Google and found an Emeril Lagasse recipe that looked like a good starting place.… Keep reading...
Tomato Pie Recipe
Heather says:
Two years ago I stumbled upon the deliciousness that is tomato pie. The framework for this recipe can be credited to Paula Deen, but it has been played with enough, to call it my own.
Before giving this pie a shot, make sure you have fully ripe tomatoes.… Keep reading...
Zucchini Bread, Regular and Gluten-Free
Heather says:
It may be zucchini season where you live -assuming you’re in North America– if not, it soon will be. While we love zucchini in lots of ways, the CSA is outpacing our ability to eat this awesome vegetable.
Ray, who is unfortunately allergic to wheat, mentioned how his grandmother used to make zucchini bread and how much he loved it and I remember loving when my mother made zucchini bread one summer when our garden went nuts.… Keep reading...

Stupidly Simple: Radish Slaw Recipe
Heather says:
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was finally able to take advantage of our local CSA. If you’ve never participated in a CSA, it’s a program where you pay a farm a predetermined amount at the beginning of the growing season.… Keep reading...
Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup
Heather says:
I saw some version of a sausage and kale soup floating around on Pinterest. Last week I wanted soup one night instead of whatever was planned*. The soup was so good, it became something that I had to be able to replicate.… Keep reading...
