Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas

October 9, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Despite my love of baking, when it comes to snacks, I am generally a salty/crunchy kind of snack girl. Donuts, cookies, cake? I can take them or leave them most days. But set out a bowl of chips and salsa or a piping hot batch of french fries and I am ALL OVER IT. Lately, I’ve been loving these Salt and Vinegar Roasted Chickpeas.…

Butternut Squash Fries with Sriracha Mayo

October 2, 2018 By Lane Leave a Comment

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.

Good Food Reads: Lower Carb Snacks

June 1, 2018 By Lane 2 Comments

I’m super jealous of those of my friends who don’t have the need to constantly eat chips, bread and crackers. Although sadly, I will never be able to give these foods up altogether, I am definitely trying to eat less carbohydrates.  And that means I need snacks.  Once again, I turned to my friends in the blog-o-sphere to help me with what is trending in the world of low carb snacks.  And once again, my blogger friends did not disappointment.  Join me for some Lower Carb Snacks and maybe you’ll find YOUR new favorite snack!

Creamy Vanilla Fruit Dip

April 24, 2018 By Holly 20 Comments

Spring has finally sprung here in the midwest and, after surviving nearly two feet of new snow last week, the sun is out and I just went for a run in shorts and a tee shirt. My gratitude for the warm weather knows no bounds after this doozy of a winter!  In addition to warmer temps, one of my favorite things about this time of year is that spring means berry season. My kids, who would probably live on berries if I let them, are especially excited about the rapidly increasing abundance of fresh fruit. While we typically just eat berries plain (by the handful or pint!), sometimes I love to serve them with this Creamy Vanilla Fruit Dip. It’s a simple recipe, perfect for parties and really makes your average berry feel like a special dessert.

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

I was originally going to bring you an ooey-gooey dessert this week.  And don’t worry, I will still bring you that particular deliciousness (after all it’s good to have something to look forward to, or so my parents always told me!) -but you’re going to have to wait until next week.  Instead I have a more savory treat for you.  Luckily for me (and now you), I had the most amazing gift brought to me this week.  My fabulous neighbor, Heather, brought me a windfall of vegetables from her inlaws’ cabin garden (find them at TheCabinGarden.com).  These jalapeños are just begging to be made into these Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers! (and if you have any good eggplant recipes, leave them in the comments below-please and thank you.)

Roasted Chickpeas with a Hint of Lime

August 22, 2017 By Holly 37 Comments

Chickpeas Lime

Well, now that the solar eclipse craziness is over for a few years (or at least until 2024!) we can all get back to our lives and stow away those hard won eclipse glasses for next time, right? Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate well where I live and so even though we were predicted to have about 82% totality, all I saw was a bunch of storm clouds. A bummer, for sure, but definitely not as disappointing as if we had driven down to Nebraska to try and catch totality! Did any of you get great eclipse views? While waiting for the eclipse yesterday, I had a huge craving for something salty and crunchy. Despite my love of baking, I really do prefer salty snacks. One of my favorite savory treats is the Tostitos Hint of Lime Chips. I can’t get enough of that salty, lime-y crunch. After a weekend of food indulgences, however, I figured I had better try for a healthier treat that would satisfy my need for crunch. So, after a rummage through the pantry, these salty, crispy Roasted Chickpeas with a Hint of Lime were born and eclipse snack time was a huge success. …

Salted Peanut Brittle with A Hint of Lime

May 23, 2017 By Holly 35 Comments

Salted Peanut Brittle with A Hint of LImeIf there is one thing I love, it’s a good salty-sweet combo treat: kettle corn, popcorn mixed with dark chocolate m&ms, and chocolate covered potato chips. My husband has much more of a pure sweet tooth, however, and one of his favorites is peanut brittle. I usually try and buy a box of See’s Candies Peanut Brittle at Christmas for his stocking. Unfortunately this year all of the local kiosks were sold out one week prior to Christmas (I know, I was procrastinating but I had a 2 month old!) and I didn’t have time for an online order so his stocking was a little light on the treats. I’ve been feeling slightly guilty about it since then and decided to take matters into my own hands (and kitchen) and make some peanut brittle with a twist. What resulted from my kitchen adventures is Salted Peanut Brittle with a Hint of Lime.…

Vegan Mushroom Pesto Tartlets

Vegan Mushroom Pesto Tartlets

I recently hosted bookclub at my house and I have to admit I’m always excited about putting together the menu.  My bookclub is the most fantastic group of gals that have been noshing, sipping and gabbing since 2009-that’s almost EIGHT years now!  We do always discuss the book at some point during the night (if only to validate our name as a book club for our significant others) but first we dig into the spread provided by the hostess with the mostess.  This time around while hosting, I wanted to create some food that could be appreciated by my vegan friend (hi Kata!) and that’s the beginning of these Vegan Mushroom Pesto Tartlets….

Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha

January 31, 2017 By Lane 24 Comments

I just experienced Avocado Toast for the first time.  And definitely not the last time.  In fact it is a new favorite!

Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha

 

So goodness knows this blog isn’t political-after all everyone needs to eat no matter what your political leaning.  And we love all of our friends and viewers regardless.  But that’s not to say that Holly and I don’t have very strong views and opinions (and luckily we agree). The last few months have made it very clear that much needs to be done to bring us together as a country and to heal us as a nation.  The big disagreement seems to be in exactly how to do this.  We need to find common ground and we may need to start small.   Truly though, I think we can all agree that anything that limits our access to avocados is a bad plan.  A bad plan indeed.  This Avocado Toast with Bacon and Sriracha will show you just how bad of a plan……
