So when I asked earlier this fall, you all told me you wanted soup. Soup, soup, and more soup. And I won’t lie, soup may be the most perfect fall comfort food ever (see a list of our favorites at the bottom of this post). But y’all know me, and you know how much I like my toppings, so of course we needed to come up with more toppings for soup! We brought you Cumin Sour Cream last week, this week we bring you Easy Brown Butter Parmesan Croutons.

Fall is officially here and I just harvested the last butternut squash from my garden. And although I do LOVE a good butternut squash soup (like this Thai Butternut Squash Soup), I was looking for something just a little bit different to do with my last butternut squash of the season (well, at least my last home grown butternut squash). Enter Butternut Squash Fries with Sriracha Mayo. Because vegetables should not be complicated.

All of our Instagram followers are probably laughing right now. Me and my salads (if you haven’t checked them out, head to our feed!). But I won’t apologize! My salads are taking all of the amazing summer produce and making them shine. This Grilled Buffalo Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing will check all of the boxes. (And stay tuned for the Salad-in-a-Jar recipe posts later this summer-these are my new obsession!) Eating the rainbow has never been more fun!

Every year I get giddy when my Thai Basil gets large enough to harvest, because I know it is time for Thai Basil Pesto! Read more for where I get my Thai Basil plants, what I use this amazing pesto for and most importantly the RECIPE!

By now, most of you know that I have quit my beloved Diet Coke. Big Deal. Really Big Deal. I am well known for my ability to drink gallons of it. I have also been known to go out of my way to stop while on vacation, before work, in the middle of kids’ activities, even running downstairs right before going to bed to grab one. I could be counted on to have a Diet Coke on me at all times. More about my great restraint coming up (spoiler alert-you can do it too!), but clearly I needed something to replace some of the caffeine with. Although I was only a fair weather coffee drinker at best, I have found that a cup of Cold Press Coffee with this Caramel Coffee Syrup has easily replaced my morning Diet Coke. (and I have grown to LOVE it!) Read further to find out how I did it!

I’m over winter. Officially over winter. After getting a foot of snow here in Minneapolis last weekend, I am begging it to stop. I’m screaming uncle. I’m ready to move on to sunny days and warm temperatures. It is time for salads on the deck with a good book. Like this Cobb Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing.

Creamy Parmesan Dressing is a kitchen must have. As in you must have it.
This Creamy Parmesan Dressing is perfect on salads, sandwiches, pastas and meats. Think you can’t make your own dressing at home? YES YOU CAN!

Welcome back to Good Food Reads Sauces Edition where we are going to talk about my absolute favorite thing-SAUCES! I have been accused by my husband of ordering food solely for the sauces I can put on top of it! Want to lure me into ordering something at a restaurant? Describe the sauce. Sauces, condiments, salsas…whatever name you prefer. Buckle up, I’m going to bring you some of my favorites…

As I’ve become more comfortable in my kitchen over the years, I’ve discovered there are a few things in life that are just so much better when you make them yourself. Chief among them is salad dressing. I used to have about ten different kinds in my refrigerator at any given time. Most of them were loaded with creepy preservatives, a boatload of sugar, and far too many ingredients I couldn’t pronounce. Worst of all? They really weren’t that good. Once I discovered just how easy it is to make your own dressings my salad game changed forever (and I have a lot more refrigerator space!). One of my favorites is this White Balsamic Vinaigrette….
I love winter food. Short ribs and mashed potatoes. Pastas and soups. My dutch oven works overtime putting out delicious comfort foods. But despite a temperature today of -21 (I am sadly not exaggerating about that one), I just craved salad. But it had to be a hearty one. One with a tangy dressing. A salad like Roasted Pear and Apple Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette.…
