Slow Cooked Short Rib Ragu 10/16/2018 Sundays are for gravy. Unless you call it sauce. It's ok if you do. We can still be friends. This isn't my grandmother's Sunday gravy anyway. But growing up in Rhode Island with Italian family members means The Big Gravy on Sunday or bust. Sadly, some Sundays I can't make it happen, so I have to move it to Monday. If you imagine some giant undertaking with piles of tomatoes, pots, and hours of work at the stove, you can take a breather now. This recipe calls for none of that! This recipes

Wild Grape and Honey Jelly 10/11/2018 Our new neighborhood is the bomb. I mean, we LOVED our old neighbors and they will always be our fam, but our old street was tricky. It was often used as a cut through, and people drove like maniacs, so riding bikes and exploring was off the table. No one wants playtime to end with an ER visit. Our new home is on a cul de sac and there's no traffic, plus half of the houses have school ages kids. Every day after school you'll find anywhere from 4-10 kids on bikes or scooters in the street, a

Morning Glory Muffins with Ancients Grains 10/03/2018 Good Morning! Well, good afternoon actually, as it's currently 2:47 here in the Quiet Corner, but who's keeping track? Not this girl, who has spent the entire morning painting ALL THE TRIM and ALL THE DOORS to help us get a little closer to finishing off this massive basement project! I'm on cup of coffee number three, and I'm taking a bit of a painting break to get some fresh air and share these with you! Rainy afternoons are perfect for baking, so when my littlest came home from preschool for

Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup 03/05/2018 Reality is setting in. We close on our new house next week. Packing is in full force. We have started doing our "last" of everything. I'm not packing the tissues. I'm comfort fooding it all up in here, though, and cleaning out the freezer and pantry in the meantime. Nothing perishable can go on the moving trucks, so I'm attempting to cook and serve as much as possible before we have to go! This Chinese Chicken Noodle soup was delicious and super helpful in using up some of my ridiculous stash!

Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Chicken 02/26/2018 After a few days of teaser warm weather here in the Jerz, we got kicked right in the face with another cold front. I had actually unpacked some short sleeved tee shirts for my kids, only to have to bundle them back up in hats and mittens for school vacation week. Great timing, Mother Nature! Returning to cold makes us want to return to cozy foods, and that translates to slow cooker in my house. This dish is great for mid week, because its super easy and a crowd pleaser, I have yet to have anyone
