I’ve grown up eating this version of mac n’ cheese and so much nostalgia hits me whenever I take a bite of this dish. A staple in my house growing up, I wouldn’t dare try another recipe. I know many versions of mac n’ cheese with breadcrumbs on top, but mum never added them, andContinue reading “Creamy Mac N’ Cheese”

Shrimp & Broad Noodles
Asian food is by far one of my favorite cuisines and I’m always experimenting in ways I can make “take-out style” dishes at home. Whenever my oldest sister visits Maine we ALWAYS stop for take-out at Empire Chinese Kitchen in Portland. They have the best food, but one of our favorite dishes is called “BeefContinue reading “Shrimp & Broad Noodles”
Wild Turkey Cubano
My inspiration for this sandwich is the “El Cubano” from one of my favorite restaurants in coastal mid-coast Maine. I don’t venture over there often, but when I do I make sure I pick up one of these sandwiches while I’m there. Home Kitchen Café makes their own bread from scratch and handcrafts each andContinue reading “Wild Turkey Cubano”
Tomato Parmesan Tortellini Soup
Out of all the soups I’ve experimented with, I think this is by far the best soup I’ve ever cooked. This hearty soup will be on heavy rotation during the winter months at your house, I promise! With tortellini, sweet (or hot if you prefer!) sausage, and a delicious creamy tomato parmesan base, I thinkContinue reading “Tomato Parmesan Tortellini Soup”
Simple Salmon Florentine
Something that I never used to love but I’m gradually starting to gravitate towards is serving seafood with pasta. I’ve always loved shrimp scampi, but lately I’ve been branching out by cooking with different shellfish, i.e. scallops, lobster, haddock, etc. in a variety of pasta dishes. My newest creation is this Simple Salmon Florentine. WithContinue reading “Simple Salmon Florentine”
Spaghetti Squash on the Half Shell
Spaghetti Squash is one of my favorite squash’s to cook with. When cooked, the squash has an incredibly unique texture that almost exactly replicates cooked pasta. I discovered this fruit (weird I know!) two years ago and haven’t stopped using it as a healthy alternative to its starchy counterpart. In this recipe, I replicated aContinue reading “Spaghetti Squash on the Half Shell”
Sunday Morning Sliders
Lately I’ve been loving mozzarella, tomato, and basil on everything! This can even apply to breakfast. When making breakfast, I typically just throw something together from odds and ends around the house: that’s how this dish came about. Incredibly easy and very filling, these sliders include avocado, egg, and a spin off caprese salad forContinue reading “Sunday Morning Sliders”
Venison Mini Tacos
As we move into summer, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out light and summary ways to prepare venison. If you’re like Connor & I, venison in the winter means stews, pasta dishes, and roasts. However, as we transition into summer, it’s important to remember that venison is perfect for any season. My VenisonContinue reading “Venison Mini Tacos”
Berry Lemon Compôte
What’s not to love about a sugary berry sauce? This compôte is perfect for a topping on pancakes or waffles or the main component in a shortcake dessert recipe. The lemon in this recipe really helps cut through the sweetness of the berries and gives it a zesty flavor. Serves: 2 +/- – Cooktime: 15 minutes +/-Continue reading “Berry Lemon Compôte”
Balsamic Burrata Chicken
This was my first time trying burrata and I honestly don’t think it could’ve been more of a success. If you’ve never had it I HIGHLY recommend it! You can pair it with anything you like but I think it’s best incorporated with balsamic, basil, and tomatoes! This chicken recipe is absolutely to die for!Continue reading “Balsamic Burrata Chicken”
