Spicy Sausage, Kale, and Farro-Stuffed Roasted Acorn Squash

categories: Meat & Fish, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

This right here is totally my middle-of-Februrary dregs-of-winter love food.

It has so many warm and hearty winter-y things all in one (Spicy sausage! Kale! Whole grains! Squash!) and it’s so comforting and filling and cozy and actually quite healthy. Because we’ve all been sitting around in the cozy indoors on our couches watching movies and drinking wine and eating pizza in our sweatpants for weeks on end, right? And maybe we could all use some healthy comfort food love? (Please, please tell me it’s not just me?!)

Homemade Jalapeño Cheddar Pigs in a Blanket

Can we say…HELLOOOO Super Bowl?!

It’s just a fact that game day food is the best food. It’s the cheesiest, crunchiest, gooiest, spiciest stuff there is. Eating a salad while watching the Super Bowl is pretty much downright anti-American! Pizza, wings, burgers, dips of every shape and size – it’s all fair game. (See what I did there?) But I have to confess, my favorite game-day food is a little pedestrian, just a little bit scorned by the foodies of the world. We’re talking about the humble pig in a blanket, people.

Bacon, Kale, and Caramelized Onion Quiche with Buttermilk Oat Crust

categories: Bacon, Breakfast, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

It’s January 4^th, which means that well-intentioned resolution-makers are busy strapping on their FitBits, busting their ass at those pilates classes, and eating kale like it’s goin’ out of style.

Unless you’re me and you broke your toe by running into a couch on the last day of 2014 and you’re spending a whole lot of time with your bffs sweatpants and remote control. That’s cool too, right?

At least I have the kale part.

Sweet Potato Latkes with Golden Raisins and Walnuts

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Recipes, Savory, Sides, Vegetarian

Guys. DON’T WORRY. I didn’t forget about Hanukkah this year. You were worried, right? But just in the nick of time, I’m comin’ atcha with some latkes like BOOM.

A few weeks ago, I was talking to my best friend Emily and mentioned that I was sad I wasn’t going to any Hanukkah dinners or parties this year. I always love celebrating with my Jewish friends and their families, but this year, all of our close Jewish friends are living in different cities, and nothing came up on the calendar. Like the smart, savvy lady that she is, she suggested that I have my own Hanukkah celebration. And she’s totally right. I mean, why can’t two completely Christian people who have a healthy appreciation for all Jewish foods have a little latke party?
