I’d gotten lazy (or should I say, busy) and stopped making hummus at home. For a while I stopped buying it at all, but my toddler adores the stuff and eats it like baby food so when I saw this recipe in my ATK magazine, I knew I had to try it.
Oven Frittata With Swiss Chard and Chicken Sausage
A frittata is an Italian omelette that isn’t folded; the open faced omelette is either flipped or put under a broiler to set the top. I’ve made a few frittata and I’m not gonna lie – they stress me out. Either the bottom gets too brown or the top is a bit runny –...
Cheese Straws
Do you know about frozen puff pastry? I love the stuff because the homemade version is really hard to make and not necessarily better tasting. I consistently keep a box of Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry in my freezer because truly, the possibilities are endless.
Chicken Nuggets like Chick Fil A
In the matter of a few weeks, my parents, in-laws, and husband all learned first hand how amazing Chick-fil-A is. They were going on and on about the kind elderly man that brings you extra sauces, the amazing milkshakes (and frozen lemonades), and the fried chicken sandwich that never quits being the most delicious...
Chicken Spinach Enchilada Dip
OH man. I’ve found my new go-to app. It’s crowd pleasing, naturally gluten free, and hearty enough to keep a pretty big group of people satisfied – kids included (Tessa’s a big fan). I got the idea from my favorite enchilada recipe and barely adapted the amounts to make it just a bit creamier,...
Simple Soft Pretzels
Alternate title: So Easy a Middle Schooler Could Make Them. Seriously. My middle school students made this exact recipe. Now, there are plenty of simple recipes that my middle schoolers made that I wouldn’t deem bloggable, but this is not one. These pretzels have a crisp exterior with a chewy center; the flavor has...
Guacamole
When we lived in downtown West Chester, walking up to town for dinner happened a fair amount (especially when the weather was nice and before we had two kids). In working out that 80/20 rule of healthy eating, this meant I ordered salads a fair amount. Now solidly in the burbs, a dinner out...
Healthy Spinach and Parmesan Dip
I have an awesome neighbor that shares her magazines with me, so I have a bunch of People’s lying around. I always make sure to check the recipes in the back but rarely do I pull one out; this spinach dip was a rare exception. The short ingredient list was right up my alley and...
Deviled Eggs
You might not know, but these are back. It makes total sense, because with all the exclusion diets out there, eggs seem to be the only thing nobody’s mad at. Since mayo is dairy and gluten free (and it’s usually in the filling), this is the sort of snack you can feel confident sharing with your...
Spinach and Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms
This seems like such an obvious recipe to me that I looked it up first, to make sure it hadn’t been done a thousand times. There were a lot of just Boursin mushrooms, and a few Boursin and spinach stuffed chicken (um sounds amazing). Do you know what Boursin is? How many times can one...
