Butternut Squash Noodles Alfredo

September 5, 2017 By Lane 12 Comments

I’ve been craving vegetables lately, and that is a little odd. Although I was a vegetarian for a year or two, (many, many years ago), I can honestly say that vegetables are not anywhere on my cravings list (I won’t lie, that is the list that starts and ends with chocolate. And wine.) My local grocery store has started carrying spiralized vegetables and every time I go into the store I’m drawn to their amazing colors…and then I keep walking.

Truth be told I even OWN a spiralizer. And it’s never been out of the box. I own a cookbook to go with it (that I’ve never opened). All of that changed this weekend with these Butternut Squash Noodles Alfredo….

The world needs a treat right now. Every last one of us needs 10 minutes of time away from the media firestorm to indulge in a decadent treat. Something that just tastes good. 10 minutes of pure happiness without regret. You know-treat yo self! I recommend this Cinnamon Apple Cheesecake Ice Cream. All of the flavors of autumn, the decadence of a special treat, and 100% homemade. Who says it has to be summer to make ice cream? This ice cream may just bring peace!…

Salted Caramel Apple Tart

October 10, 2016 By Lane 5 Comments

I think I’ve previously mentioned my trip to the Apple House, where I bought too many apples (Is too many apples even a thing?). Although I made this fabulous Autumn Apple Crisp, which my family devoured, I also wanted to make something a bit more elegant. I’ve been on a tart kick lately-Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Tart, Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart, and I’ve found them not only easy to make, but also visually pleasing. Since I had just made Salted Caramel Sauce, and had so many apples, it seemed like a match made in heaven to create this Salted Caramel Apple Tart!…

Thai Chicken Soup

September 12, 2016 By Lane 33 Comments

As I sit here in my yoga pants and sweatshirt (don’t judge-it’s the weekend!), listening to the breeze ruffle the leaves, I think I finally have to admit summer is over. I am crying inside knowing that it will be a long 9 months until I can swim in the lake (fellow Minnesotans know this is actually quite optimistic, but let me have my delusions). But for all of those tears, I am also secretly excited for the beauties of fall. Football games, gorgeous brilliant leaves in all colors of the rainbow, sweatshirts (I really love them enough to give them two mentions) and of course…soup. And for the perfect meal to straddle that summer into fall weather… Thai Chicken Soup. …

It’s hard to believe that Labor Day has come and gone and for most of us, summer is (unofficially) over. I don’t know about you, but this time of year is a little like foodie limbo. I’m still loving all of the fresh flavors of summer but I’m also really starting to crave soups and stews and the comfort foods of fall and cooler weather. This week’s Good (Food) Reads is a mix of summer and fall recipe inspiration. We hope you find something to love and perhaps even a new family favorite! Until next week……
