Easy Breakfast Strata
I don’t know. I just think it’s a good idea to have a really yummy breakfast casserole recipe in the ol’ memory recipe rolodex. Especially if it’s called a “strata.” Bougie, fancy levels just went up ten points for sure. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CH-ivrhnlFe/?igshid=1ekivy25eqa9i Not sure if I did that whole points thing right. I’m not a gamer,…
Gruyere Cheese Grits
Did I have you at Gruyere or Cheese Grits? LOL Cheese grits is a great breakfast recipe to have on hand. Especially as we move into holiday and tailgate season. I always bring this dish to a tailgate or a holiday brunch and it’s allllways gone. This recipe came from my wonderful Mother In Law…
Bell Pepper Sandwich
Aka, the Idiot Sandwich, according to Gordon Ramsay. I don’t know though. He may have mis-judged this one, in terms of its potential. Have you ever had a sandwich made with a bell pepper as the bread? I discovered it when I saw Gordon Ramsay’s hilarious video where he ridicules a woman for making one,…
Bone Broth+
The thing about bone broth… is that there are a lot of things. All of the things in fact. It’s delicious on its own. Ridiculously versatile. Simple to cook, but it has its nuances, which make it a liiiiitle tricky. And it has a whole host of immune boosting, gut healing benefits that I’ll take…

Plus, it was dubbed “genius” by Kristin Miglore, author of Genius Foods. So I…

Who doesn’t love a good pizza?! I know I certainly do! That being said, pizza can be a little tough sometimes. I feel like we get pigeon holed into thinking it was something that has to be ordered, and is only good when it’s loaded with tons of cheese, high sugar sauce and sausage. At…
Apple Nachos
Best way to eat an apple if you ask me. And there are endless combinations. I feel like I will be returning and adding to this post again and again 🤣 All you need is an apple, your favorite but butter and desired toppings. And boom. You’ve got the making of a very delicious snack….
Kale, Fennel and Plantain Salad
Have you ever added sauteèd plantains to your salad?! Neither had I until I read about it in this issue of Bon Apetit. And then found this amazing Collard, Fennel salad with Plantians and Sumac from Chef Ashleigh Shanti from a restaurant called Benne on Eagle in Asheville, NC. I didn’t have all the ingredients,…
Zucchini Bread
It’s summertime folks, and that means ‘tis the season for all kinds of delicious fresh produce. Tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries and all kinds of herbs abound. One of the most versatile of these, in my opinion, is zucchini or the summer squash! You can use zucchini for zoodles, casseroles, smoothies, salads and even as a pizza…
