Chicken with Apple Balsamic Cream Sauce

January 9, 2012

Back in November while at the Foodbuzz Fest I tried for the first time, and consequently fell in love with, Apple Balsamic Vinegar.  Made from apple vinegar and apple juice it had the characteristic depth of balsamic vinegar with the sweetness of apples.  And having been aged for 5 years it was also slightly syrupy [...]

Beef Stroganoff Burgers

December 28, 2011

This was one of those recipes I never intended to post.  I made them for one of my friends over the summer, a casual dinner enjoyed on the back porch with copious amounts of wine and good conversation.  Because of all the socializing, snapping a good photograph of this dish was the last thing on [...]

Turkey Noodle Soup with Butternut Squash, Pancetta and Cider Broth

December 14, 2011

I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I’m known for changing what I’m making for dinner once I’ve already started cooking.  As in, the butter’s melted, the pancetta is crisping in the pan and I’m onto something entirely different than where I originally started.  It seems like terrible evidence of my short attention [...]

Pumpkin, Brie and Bacon Pasta Bake

October 26, 2011

When it was announced that this month’s 5 Star Makeover would be tailgate food, immediately I thought of doing a take on Mac and Cheese. It’s one of those perfect tailgate foods in my mind because it can easily be stretched to serve more people than its original intent, which is perfect if your tailgate [...]

Creamy Vegetable Pot Pie with Polenta-Parmesan Crumble

July 13, 2011

I’m not going to lie, 2011 has felt, at times, like quite the roller coaster. Romantic relationships ended before they even began. Endless open houses and condo showings pursuit of my perfect Chicago home netted me little more than a failed negotiation. So when I finally got a piece of good news recently, celebrations seemed [...]

Blueberry, Orange and Vanilla Bean Baked Oatmeal

May 27, 2011

I wasn’t going to post about this dish.  Not because it wasn’t good – it was – but because in all honesty, it’s just a slight variation on my Orange and Vanilla Bean Baked Oatmeal that I posted about a little over a year ago and the Plum Topped Baked Oatmeal I made back in [...]

Sweet Corn Lasagna with Spinach and Ham

May 1, 2011

After the terrible month of rain I alluded to in my last post, we finally got sun this weekend!  And no, it wasn’t the fleeting kind that comes in drips and drabs so brief you can blink and miss it, but the prolonged, delightful kind that fills an entire afternoon.  And as much as I [...]

Simplified Chai French Toast with Rosemary Home Fries

April 22, 2011

I love getting together to share food with fellow food bloggers.  There’s a kind of shared understanding that immediately puts me at ease, which as a girl who’s found herself always feeling a bit shy, anxious and overwhelmed in social situations, is something I appreciate dearly.  And yet, on the flip side of the coin, [...]
