Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is the perfect fruity dessert for summer with a wonderful balance of sweet and tart flavors! The crumble topping adds an irresistible crunch, and the whole thing can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and baked when you are ready to serve. [amd-recipeseo-recipe:7] Yum, strawberries. I am so excited for this……

Caramelized Onion & Apple Mini Tarts

These tarts are super simple to prepare, yet make for an elegant presentation. Not to mention the unexpectedly delicious flavor combination! I was skeptical, at first, of how well onion and apple would go together; but give it a try, and you won’t regret it! To make 6 servings (about 20 mini tarts), you will……

Shoyu Ramen

I’ve been wanting to try to make Shoyu Ramen for some time now – ever since I first tried it at the amazingly good Japanese restaurant, Yama, in Morgantown. I’ve been gathering the specialty ingredients and planning how I wanted to make it for probably 3 months. I finally went for it today. I had……

Gingered Butternut Squash Soup

Like many of the fall recipes I have added recently, I’ve been wanting to make this soup for some time. When my camera was out of commission, I kept getting ideas for seasonal posts, and this is one of them. I tried butternut squash for the first time last year, when I made a butternut……

Autumn Chicken Stew

Living in West Virginia, we usually have a pretty nice transition from summer into fall. It’s one of the advantages of living here that I have to remind myself of occasionally when I’m complaining about not having a Whole Foods or a farmer’s market that’s open for more than one day a week. (Don’t get……

Slow Cooker Lentil Soup with Cilantro Yogurt

I realized that I had photos of this recipe stored on my flash card, so figured it a good a time as any to share with you! I actually made this about two weeks ago on my birthday, while my parents were visiting and I needed something that didn’t require a lot of hands-on time……

Honey Oat Dinner Rolls

So, I was in the mood to make my own bread yesterday. It’s a lot easier than it’s made out to be , and cheaper than buying bread at the store. You can make them plain or add any herbs/flavorings you want; I chose honey-oat because I’ve been on a honey kick ever since I……

Chicken Croquettes with Tomato Dipping Sauce

I didn’t even know what croquettes were until yesterday. I was trying to find a dish to make with ground chicken that didn’t involve a sandwich or a soup. I decided to make croquettes, and thought they would be tasty with a tomato dipping sauce… turns out, I was right! To make approx. 4 servings……

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce

Good news to everyone who reads this and cringes at my terrible photos! I ordered myself an (early) birthday present yesterday – my first DSLR camera, a Nikon D70. I’m so excited to get it that I just can’t stand it. It should be here on Monday!! I’ve also been trying to collect a greater……

Homemade Chicken Stock

I found myself with a pack of chicken wings on my hands that were expiring on the same day, but I wasn’t in the mood for wings. So, instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to make some homemade chicken stock to freeze for use at a later date! I plan to use……
