Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is upon us, and whether you’re team canned cranberry or fresh, you’ve got to have this classic accompaniment on turkey day. I grew up eating the canned cranberry sauce and I must admit, I love the little ridges and all. The fresh stuff is good too, but it’s a different experience all together.
The lemon juice is the star ingredient in this recipe, inspired by the one and only Ina Garten. I use cranberry juice instead of water to reinforce the flavors. The cranberries simmering on the stovetop perfumes the whole home and really sets the mood for the holidays.
Gobble, gobble!

Potatoes Au Gratin with Infused Cream
Potatoes Au Gratin are a thing of beauty. There is no other side dish I associate with Easter Sunday more. The perfect accompaniment to an oven baked spiral ham or a filet mignon, this creamy, cheesy casserole of thinly sliced potatoes and onion is flavored with aromatics and cream, and baked in a warm oven until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are fork tender. It feels elevated and special, as an offering for the table should on such a celebratory occasion.

Bake these Campfire Cookies for a real treat
One of the notable things I learned in culinary school from the pastry chef was how to create dishes that not only taste good, but evoke feelings and create experiences. These campfire cookies are reminiscent of a warm fire, roasting marshmallows and eating sticky s’mores but without all the mess! With crushed graham crackers, toasted mini-marshmallows, and slightly melted chocolate, this may be my new favorite cookie of all time. Enjoy them with a cold glass of milk.

This is a food blog, but today I’m sharing my newly remodeled home office and gym design with you! It’s the space where I do all of my writing, and that’s the motivation behind this project.
