Living and writing in a circa 1840 New England Farmhouse with three generations of my family
If you’re looking for a showstopping dessert, this flourless chocolate cake with brown sugar meringue topping is it. It’s beautiful, delicious, and naturally gluten free. It makes a dramatic end to any meal and looks like a dessert that you made a trip to a fine bakery to purchase.
If you’re looking for a recipe that is delicious, simple, economical, and versatile, you can’t do much better than homemade creamy polenta. It pairs with nearly anything and costs pennies to make.
I keep this chocolate mug cake mix in the pantry so that I can make a single serving of chocolate cake any time I want. It only takes minutes thanks to the microwave which means that you’re only moments away from warm, gooey chocolate cake!
There’s something altogether comforting and soothing about chewy oatmeal cookies. It seems to be baked right into it and held together by brown sugar, old fashioned oats, and just a touch of cinnamon.
This recipe isn’t fancy, but don’t let its simplicity fool you. Mushroom toast is so flavorful and astonishingly easy to make.
I love a meal that involves Hollandaise Sauce, but I don’t always love making it. Luckily, I discovered several years ago that I could make it in the microwave with less fuss, a lot less mess, and on a whim. Since then, I always make this easy microwave recipe that delivers the same flavor with barely any effort.
Pumpkins are front and center at the farmhouse once October arrives. I use them to decorate the inside and outside of the farmhouse. I also love to create sweet and savory recipes with them. The simplest is one of my favorites: classic pumpkin bread.
Making mashed sweet potatoes isn’t difficult, but it’s even easier to make Instant Pot mashed sweet potatoes. Let your Instant Pot do all the work and move straight to enjoying the yummy mashed sweet potatoes on your dinner plate.
This creamed corn is one of my favorite ways to serve fresh corn. It’s simple and uncomplicated, all about the natural deliciousness of corn and dill. It’s spectacular.
Most no knead bread recipes require a covered Dutch oven pan for baking. Not this one. You can make a delicious loaf of rustic bread baked in a cast iron skillet without any special tools, ingredients, or equipment.
allow me to have a batch of whatever I’m pickling finished and chilling in the refrigerator in minutes. A few summers ago, I learned how to make quick pickled grapes.
As a child growing up in Kansas City, barbecue baked beans were always on a plate with barbecue meals. As an adult living in New England, the beans are a bit different but no less prominent on dinner plates.
