Kate’s Thoughts for Food Meal Planning Service: Home-Cooking Made Fresh
As a person who works with food for a living, it should come as no surprise that one of my favorite parts of the holidays is food traditions. I simply love the memories food can evoke with one passing sniff or one tasty bite. Our minds are a powerful tool, and as it turns out, [...]
Even though today is officially the start of spring, I couldn’t resist highlighting today’s vegetable in a belly warming soup. And depending on where you might be living, you might just appreciate a little extra warmth for this chilly March we seem to be having! Wow, I’m talking about the weather. I guess I like [...]
This recipe is so completely random I am not even sure where to begin. I mean seriously, fava bean crab dip? Did I really make this? The answer is yes and it is incredibly flavorful and scrumptious. And yes, I did just use the word scrumptious. First things first, what in the world is a [...]
It seems finding a recipe fit more a fresh food makeover is as simple as doing a Google search for casserole. I honestly have no idea why cans of soup become the go to ingredient for simple meals. Especially when creating your own sauce involves ingredients we almost all have on hand and takes little [...]
Today’s makeover recipe perplexed me a little. I couldn’t quite understand why you would choose to cook potatoes in a crock pot for 6 hours when you can achieve the same texture and even better roasted flavor in the oven. If anyone has a possible explanation, please feel free to share in the comment section! [...]
This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the Food Experiments National Tour: Washington DC. It was my first (mostly) formal cooking competition and I must admit, I was more than a little nervous. The theme of the event was Chinese Food Take Out, and since the purpose of my business is to [...]
When I found today’s makeover recipe I was almost paralyzed with fear. Where does one begin tackling a recipe with taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, Ro-tel AND a bag of Doritos? But I powered through and came up with what I feel is a reasonable solution. My goal was not to mimic the dish [...]
In most cases, a fresh food recipe makeover is really a makeunder, and today’s recipe is the perfect example. I love the simplicity of pasta mixed with fresh vegetables, and the star in this recipe is truly the broccoli. I did away with the creamy broccoli and cheese sauce, and chose to create a tasty [...]
Today’s fresh food recipe deserves a disclaimer: I took the fresh food volume and turned it WAY up. It may seem that I literally tried to see how many fresh vegetables I could pack into one casserole, but the fact of the matter is that I adore vegetable enchiladas and simply couldn’t resist including a [...]
Today’s fresh recipe makeover was submitted by a dear friend of mine and I could not have been more excited to take on the challenge. The original recipe was actually a slightly healthier version (if you can imagine) of a classic potato casserole I have made numerous times, so I was especially looking forward to [...]
