Veggies and Venison Chili

Know what I love about you guys?? That you’re all game for wild game.  After a great response from my post on venison stroganoff, I feel I owe it to you to give you another awesome spin on how I prepare venison in this veggies and 

Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie

Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie

Eating your veggies for dessert? Okay, I’m sold!  Yes, I’ve officially boarded the pumpkin pie train. I’ve honestly never made a pumpkin pie since my all time favorite holiday pie is sour cream raisin or even mincemeat (I know, weird). Given that my husband absolutely MUST have pumpkin 

Summer Squash Taco Skillet

I’ve been in full on “harvest” mode the past few weeks grabbing boxes full of fresh tomatoes from the farmers market and freezing homemade tomato sauce for future use.  The scent of roasting squash has been wafting through my house while the kids cringe at 

Swedish Pancakes (Pannkaka)

Swedish Pancakes (Pannkaka)

“Whoa, Mom! These are GOOD!” exclaimed my oldest daughter with her mouthful of Swedish pancakes. That was exactly the sentiment I was hoping for from my picky “dad-makes-the-best-pancakes” crowd.   It occurred to me over a plate of huge fluffy pancakes this past weekend that I have 

Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken

Nothing beats a flavorful grilled steak or chicken.  Especially when it’s had a nice long marinade in an Indian spiced yogurt mixture overnight to let the flavors soak in and soften the meat to pure tender perfection.  Don’t let this tandoori chicken intimidate you.  It looks challenging and has many ingredients but 

Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Growing up I’d gladly have mashed potatoes and gravy with every meal.  Oh, who am I kidding… I’d gladly do that now!   Here’s the kicker: the way I used to make them had loads of butter and heavy cream and man, were they delicious!  Since 

Chicken Shepherd’s Pie

Chicken Shepherd’s Pie

I have no motivation.  Now I’m over-caffeinated because I was trying to find some motivation at the bottom of my coffee cup.  My next problem is that it’s nearly 0 degrees outside (hence the no motivation) and I am NOT about to take my sweet self outside, even 

Bacon Borscht

Bacon Borscht

The taste profile was like none other I had tasted. Sour, salty, tangy, earthy and rich with a hidden creaminess that caresses your tongue.  I sat at the dining table across from my husband licking my spoon at Domacin Wine Bar suddenly dreaming of creating 

Sausage Goat Cheese Mini Quiche

Sausage Goat Cheese Mini Quiche

The sun is shining, it’s FRIDAY, it’s inevitably, a great day!  These sausage goat cheese mini quiche are great too!   Awhile back, I posted a veggie packed savory breakfast mini quiche and it’s such a simple nutritious way to start the day that I decided I 

Lasagna Senza Formaggio

Lasagna Senza Formaggio

Lasagna Senza Formaggia… now doesn’t that just sound fancy! This is no ordinary lasagna and it certainly isn’t your grandma’s lasagna.  Lasagna, for me, is one of the most perfect winter comfort foods, a true labor of love.  I’ve created this lasagna with many veggies
