I should start out by saying this is not a quick recipe. This is a Sunday afternoon project that is WELL worth the results! I searched and searched for a recipe that incorporates butternut squash into pasta dough to execute this ravioli dish that I had burning in my brain ever since my neighbor dropped off some gorgeous butternut squash. Warm and comforting flavors from the roasted squash and a dash of fresh nutmeg in the dough, soft pillows filled with creamy homemade ricotta (it’s easy and SO much better than store bought I promise!) and spinach, finished in pancetta and sage brown butter. I needed to figure out how to make this but wasn’t sure exactly how to incorporate the squash into the pasta dough. So I just experimented with the proportions and added flour until it was pliable. And it was gorgeous, so I had to share!

I love deviled eggs and find regular egg-salad to be boring in comparison. Therefore I like to make my egg salad using my deviled egg process and then stir it all up to put it in a sandwich or to use as a dip on buttery crackers or toast points. This is super customizable so add what you like and have fun with it!
I had some milk that was a day over its expiration date and I knew it would never last the week for my family to drink it, so I took it as a great excuse to make ricotta for a lasagna this weekend. Making your own ricotta is SUPER simple. I promise. Follow along and try it for yourself!!
If you have access to super fresh fish, this is a fun and healthy alternative to making sushi. The fresh herbs and flavors are sure to impress any critic!
What do you do when your hubby thaws pie dough thinking it’s pizza dough, but you have no pie fillings or fruit in the house? Make a savory vegetable and cheese tart!
A quick and easy appetizer that is adaptable to whatever you have in your pantry! A great reason to keep a package of puff pastry in your freezer to make it easy to throw together a great addition to a party or brunch spread.
Need a quick and healthy meal anytime of day? Packed wth protein and veggies, and low on carbs , this one fits the bill.
Yep I said it! And they're DELICIOUS! All you need is Greek yogurt, a little mustard, salt and pepper as your base. Then you flavor them with what you like best! Toss a little bacon in? Sure! An avocado and cilantro? Yum! Hot sauce and chives? You're getting the idea!
I didn't miss the carbs one ounce in these garlicky Zoodles tossed with fresh garden tomatoes and feta cheese.
I can't believe I haven't been making more quiches! This was so easy and absolutely delicious.
If you have some leftover fresh ingredients from your Cinco de Mayo festivities, throw them together with a few hard boiled eggs for a fresh and healthy lunch!
So quick and easy you can make it by the pool! All you need is a knife and a few fresh ingredients.
My mom has made these since I was a young child and they are my ultimate comfort food. It's essentially meatloaf wrapped in a flakey pastry shell. When I studied abroad in England I would stop in at the Pasty Shop (the "a"is short like "past" not "paste"... Get your mind out of the gutter!☺️) if I was out walking through town over lunch. They had beef and veggie (like these) and a whole variety such as chicken curry and veggie/cheese. Every time I plan to make Pasties I think about trying a new version, but I always come back to wanting those flavors from my childhood. Maybe I will get creative next time. For now, here's the tried and true favorite!
When making a fondue dinner, the meat course takes probably the least amount of prep-work. Boil some small potatoes, roast some mushroom caps in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and cut steak into small 1"-2" cubes. While you could use tenderloin, I opted for a slightly sturdier cut of prime beef.
We decided to do fondue for New Year's this year and it was a hit! We did all three courses, so I will start with the cheese course in this blog. Clearly the most important course!
