This is an unusual post as it is not a recipe. Well, it has a recipe but you absolutely can not eat what you make. Even though it is “technically” edible, I wouldn’t try it. Intrigued? Disappointed? Excited, because your waffle iron needs cleaning and that is why you clicked […]

Breakfast Sausage Casserole with Cheddar
My mother-in-law is famous for her brunch. So much so, that if you ask one of our nieces for her preferred meal, she’ll say “Grandma’s brunch”. One of my favorite dishes on her brunch menu has always been a breakfast casserole with lots of juicy sausage, melted Cheddar on top, […]
Creamy Lemon Garlic Shrimp
After working for what felt like ages on my most recent Pelmeni post, I am excited to get back to regularly scheduled programming. That recipe took a very long time but I had to keep reminding myself about quality vs. quantity. And even though I wholeheartedly agree with that and […]
Pelmeni: Russian Meat Dumplings
I have a very silly memory of talking to my friend when we were kids. Somehow we got to talking about food and pelmeni in particular. Before we knew it, we got into an argument about who loved them more. (We must have been really hungry). I remember her saying […]
Goat Cheese, Prosciutto, and Fig Jam Toast
What’s New? As I am writing this, it has been exactly one year since I became a citizen of the United States of America! It wasn’t a year any of us expected, and I was probably one of the last people to be sworn in maskless. For that, and many […]

As I prepare to close out 2020, I wanted to share a simple and comforting recipe with you. It doesn’t have much of a back story other than I tried making it for the first time and loved it. Which I guess is a good story in and of itself. […]
My Kitchen Must-Haves, Part 2 – Tools
It’s beginning to look a lot like we’re going straight for Christmas this year and skipping Thanksgiving! I don’t know about you, but the thought of all things Christmas brings me so much comfort – this year especially. If your family and friends are asking you for your wish list […]
Puff Pastry with Leftover Halloween Candy
2020 turned out like nothing we’d ever imagined or hoped for. I remember seeing all these posts on social media towards the end of 2019, about 2020 and all the holidays that would fall on the weekend. Including Halloween. Now, not to say that those posts didn’t age well… But […]
Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup
Today I want to share with you a very simple recipe for a very comforting, delightful dish – Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup. I planned on calling it “Creamy Sausage and Vegetable Soup” as it also has onion, garlic, carrots, and spinach in it. But Creamy Sausage and Potato just […]
