Well this is a shockingly delayed review, but when you own 732 books it can sometimes take a while to use one (before you judge me too harshly, know that I also read and peruse my cookbooks like novels). This cookbook was on my mind when we got back from the Disney cruise precisely because…

Nacho Topped Smoky Beef Brisket and Beans Chili for the Slow Cooker
The minute I saw this chili I knew I was making it. I found it while browsing online for “smoky” chili recipes, and while I did not make the exact recipe I found (because it required a handheld smoking gun as only a Williams Sonoma recipe would!), I was blown away by the delicious simple…
Ash-e Anar (Persian Pomegranate Soup with Meatballs)
I almost forgot to share this recipe with you guys, which would have been a crime! It is that good! But boy it has been a weird month. The cruise was enough alone to make everything topsy turvy–I would love to say that we always get out of town in the winter but actually that…

Meyer Lemon Cocktail Marshmallows
Right about now I should be sipping some other cocktail, more suited for Caribbean breezes… As I write this, the outside temperature is 2. Yes just 2 (fahrenheit). Actually, most of my fellow Americans are not surprised by this I am sure. The point being, whatever temperature it is while you are reading this, I…
Curried Roasted Chickpeas: #TheLeftoversClub
Guys!!! I am so excited!! Right now, probably while you are reading this unless you are reading it in the middle of the night EST, we are on our way to Miami to leave for a Disney cruise in the Caribbean! Squee!! I know the timing is crazy, but the university where John works just…
Maple Waffle Breakfast Casserole with Sausage and Bacon–Luke Approved!
Make Ahead Maple Waffle Casserole with Bacon and Sausage for Breakfast or Brunch is perfect for Christmas morning or a weekend when you want something extra special! I have been dying to tell you guys about this dish for a while now. See what happened is, the first time I made it, I did not…
