IMG_1414_web

In honor of my Irish heritage and fellow O-postrophes, I am dedicating the month of March to being green!  While for some that might mean your fair share of green beer or a shamrock or two, in my little food blog world it means paying homage to the modest green vegetable.  All this month I’ll [...]

Edible Holiday Gifts: Hot Cocoa Mix & Marshmallows

Hot Cocoa Mix with Marshmallows

As soon as I finished tasting today’s edible gift recipe I wished I could invent scratch & sniff-vision for computers.  It seemed unfair for me alone to enjoy the amazing aromas of this hot cocoa.  So let’s all take a minute to pretend I graduated with a computer engineering major and not a marketing one [...]

You are always left with moist, tender pork, beef, chicken, etc. The perfect use for this? Pulled pork! I discovered this recipe several years ago and keep coming [...]

Roasted Tomato Soup

Tomato soup is by far my absolute favorite soup in the entire world.  Add roasting and basil and I basically think you’ve created magic.  As a result, I have about 4 go-to tomato soup recipes in my bag of tricks, but the one I am sharing today is my absolute favorite.  Unfortunately it is not [...]
