Buffalo Turkey Flatbread

I don’t like to toot my own horn but over the years I’ve learned to make a pretty mean turkey burger. Toot. Toot. And so on my weekly (ok maybe more than weekly) Target trip I bought a pound of ground turkey with plans of making burgers. But then I saw this recipe from Little Leopard Book using […]

Classic Greek Salad

When it comes to the salad game, I’m pretty traditional. Most days, I settle for a classic mixed greens salad with cucumber, tomato and a balsamic vinaigrette of some sort and I never get tired of it. Every once in a while though, a girl needs to mix things up. So now that Greece is […]

We’ve got the beets…and cocktails

sweet tea cocktail recipe, sweet tea moscow mule, drink recipes, summer drinks

Growing up, my only experience with beets was when Doug Funnie had them perform on his show. What can I say the 90s were weird. Other than that, I just thought beets were a cranberry-looking vegetable that I avoided at salad bars as a child. It wasn’t until I had what I refer to as a proper beet […]

Summer Chicken Salad

Is it too early for me to mock the weather in Florida? It pains me to do it especially considering the winter we just came from in Chicago, but I can’t help but laugh at these people when they deliver the news every morning. Traffic is a hoot. Yes there’s violence but on a completely […]

I want to tell you that these banana oat pancakes were a cinch to make. And they would be perhaps, if you, unlike me, knew how to properly assemble your new blender to avoid almond milk spilling all over your kitchen from the start. Next time though, these will be a cinch to make. The […]

Believe it or not I used up all my words this weekend so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Speaking of sweet this coffee cake is just that. Sweet enough but not too sweet that you find yourself trying to get it to say something mean just to see if it’s capable of […]

Almond Butter Love

This is less of a what I ate Wednesday and more of a what I can’t stop eating every day of the week. My name is Sarah and I’m addicted to homemade almond butter. Hi Sarah.  It started as an experiment really. A few years ago for Lent I gave up over-processed foods. What are […]

Shrimp Fried Rice

I’d love to pretend that my attempts at cooking are preceded by careful meal planning, leisurely trips to the grocery store, soft music and casual chopping. I imagine there are actual people out there like that. Laughing to one another as they chop vegetables, sipping on a perfectly-chilled glass of pinot noir and then sitting […]

Blueberry Banana Muffins

So I think I finally adjusted to west coast time. Only problem is I flew back to central time on Sunday. Or, it could be that Saturnsnowpacogeddon that rolled through yesterday causing all sorts of panic only to dust us with 5 or so inches here in the city. That may seem like a lot if you […]

Alternative Salads

When I was little I had a rabbit named Fluffy. Well, technically he wasn’t mine. He belonged to my classroom at Montessori Children’s House but I volunteered to take him home over breaks so it counts just the same, right? I mean the holiday guardian is bound to develop a bond that only a foster […]
