We’re due to get a big snow storm this weekend. Welcome to New England in the winter. In anticipation of the snow days, I’m laying in all the cozy supplies. Warm blankets, cozy sweatpants, candles, new books, wood for the fireplace, and ingredients to cook up some comfort food, like this beef stew. This stew is so easy to make and delicious. We don’t make a lot of stews so I’m always amazed how easy they are. They may take some time to cook but that’s no big deal, especially when you have nothing but time on a snow day. …

Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I’ve already got the wheels turning on what I want for dinner (and more importantly, dessert). Sometimes my husband and I like to have “fancy” meals on special occasions. You know, something that you might have at a restaurant and wouldn’t usually make at home. For us that tends to be something like a nice rib eye steak with a couple of sides and a decadent dessert. The two of us enjoy being in the kitchen together so the quality time is an added benefit to staying home and making a fun …
Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Cheddar. Biscuit. Need I say more? Well, I’ll say a few words. These biscuits are loaded with a lot of cheddar cheese. A lot. So if you’re a cheese fan then you will love these.

Bye.” However, I find that side dishes are the recipes that I search for the most and if you’re like me then you want to see those here (even if they’re not as exciting as cookies). So without further ado, if you’re looking for a fantastic veggie side dish recipe, here you go. Simple and to the point today. 🙂 My husband and I make these “steamed” Brussels spouts …
Buffalo Chickpea Salad
Guys, I’m obsessed with this salad. I have made buffalo cauliflower three times in the past 2 months. That’s hysterical since I originally said that I wouldn’t make it again because even though it’s delicious there are a lot of steps and it’s kind of a pain to make. Apparently, taste wins over convenience. With buffalo cauliflower on the brain lately, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this buffalo chickpea salad recipe. Why didn’t I think of that? I love chickpeas and I love the buffalo spices so this is a win win. You know, the buffalo spices …
