Spread on the Love

Have you ever had a linzer cookie? They are delicate and flaky with lots of butter, a hint of lemon, and the crunch of ground almonds. What's even more EXTRA is that they are a sandwich cookie! Traditionally stuffed with jam, I turn things up a notch with a homemade chocolate ganache option. These cookies are probably my favorite sweet of all time, so I decided to make them myself - jam variety for me and mom, chocolate ganache for hangry bf and dad. Treat yourself to these decadent cookies for Fat Tuesday before the fasting begins!

When You're Feeling Lazy AF

I'll keep this short because Hangry waits for no one. When you're exhausted, it's still dark out before 6pm and the groundhog has been a little bitch and run back to his den, you want a quick and easy dinner to eat as fast as possible. So - chop everything up; toss it all in a skillet; throw some cheese on top; and dinner = served. You're welcome.

Soup's On!

No soup for you? Make your own!

Soup. One of my most frequent cravings. I'm not picky either - I like all the soups: noodle, tomato, bisque, chowda', vegetable, lentil, etc. Soup has that magical way of making you feel cozy and happy - a memory associated with the comfort of my childhood. One thing I love about soup is that you can basically take whatever you have in your fridge and pantry and turn it into soup - so that's what I've done below! Check out three of my favorites - Butternut Squash, Broccoli Cheddar, and Zuppa Toscana - with topping variations to keep leftovers interesting!

Perfect Sunday Roast

Superbowl Sunday Victory

The big game is just days away! I am all about eating the typical Super Bowl snacks like fried chicken, buffalo wings, potato skins, nachos, etc. - BUT - I am really trying to be kind to my almost 30 waistline. SO - I will be making my favorite Sunday Roast - it's totally amazing, with a slowly simmered onion gravy and tangy/peppery arugula salad. I promise if you make this for your game-day groupies, they will be singing your praises all night. Keep reading for the how-to.
