Sooo I’ve began a love affair with ricotta cheese. Not just any ricotta cheese, but home made ricotta. I’m new to it and never knew how easy or delicious it could be! I just always thought it was that gross spongy stuff you added to lasagna to give it its density. Turns out, it’s amazeballs….

Punkin Peanut Butter and Blackberry ‘Jam’
This was AMAZING. And so easy, I almost feel bad posting as a recipe, but it’s just too good not to share. I almost titled this post “Never Buy Jam Again” but it was fall so I opted for the whole Pumpkin thing. The latter has a nice ring to it though, don’t you agree?…

Crock Pot Chicken Soup
I think I am falling in love with my crock pot all over again! I cooked a whole chicken in there the other day with some potatoes and onions and it was amazing, and so simple. We couldn’t finish an entire chicken in one dinner and I didn’t really want to throw the leftovers in…

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

I was craving chocolate chip cookies, but it was fall, so I figured I might as well also add some pumpkin to the mix! I healthed these out a bit too,…
Figs, Not in Newtons
I really need to get better dish naming conventions. I mean, how do you name a dish, make it sound good, and hint at the main ingredients all in one. I mean this has caramelized onions, figs, goat cheese and flatbread which are all yummy, but “Caramelized Onion Goat Cheese and Fig Flatbread” just doesn’t have…
