We all get the desire to have a little something to munch on while cooking dinner. Especially if it's something you prepare then throw into the oven for half an hour or more. Well it doesn't get much easier, delicious, or healthier than a Caprese Salad!
This was my first time trying my hand at canning and I have to admit that it could have gone better. Because of Adam’s and I dietary preferences I found it difficult to find a recipe without cornstarch or ClearJel which is like a modified version of cornstarch.
I did eventually find one with gelatin and I had very high hopes for it but the first batch I made I had to throw out because it never thickened and it smelled very burnt. Well I’m writing this post, which means that I eventually figured it out! Without further ado here it is:
This was so good. I can't wait to devour the leftovers.
Lately, we have been trying more and more traditional Irish dishes at home and when out to eat. One dish that I have fallen in love with is Shepard's Pie. It is a fairly simple recipe that has room for variability and play. Traditionally, it is ground beef with spices, peas, carrots and onions that is topped with mashed potatoes. You then bake it again to brown the mashed potato topping. Here is our take on this classic dish. We only use two pans in this recipe so there is a very easy cleanup afterwards as well ;)
As most of
you know yesterday marked the first official day of fall. When I think of fall,
I think of cool fresh air, beautiful colors, and of course apple orchards! So,
I thought it would be appropriate to make this first recipe post a posting of a
gluten free, crumble top, apple pie. The boyfriend and I had the chance
to visit my parent’s house this weekend where I knew a 5min drive into the
country would bring us to one of my favorite apple orchards I’ve been too.
