The pepper makes all the different in this recipe. Make sure your pepper is freshly cracked and use it generously. I will use regular spaghetti noodles next time and I’m betting we might like it even more that way. The kids love the different shapes, so I was cooking with them in mind tonight.

Rich in flavor and deliciously filling, this meat and vegetable stew will satisfy both body and soul! What is Pichelsteiner?

If you’ve been following on social media – particularly Instagram – then it’s no secret that I took a little trip to Italy last month. Wait scratch that, I don’t think flying across the world to check an item off your bucket list and learn about and taste the best pasta Europe has to offer can qualify as a little trip. It was a big trip. A big, awesome, dreamy pasta-filled trip that I was lucky enough to have my mother experience with me....
What exactly is it about homemade ice cream that always tastes better than any other? Is it the fact we don’t have to leave the house to enjoy it? Maybe it’s the nostalgia of churning ice cream on Grandma’s side porch that makes me smile, even though I very happily use an electric ice cream compressor to make ice cream now. Whichever machine you choose to use (or not use) to make ice cream, I hope that you’ll love this rhubarb ice cream every bit as much as our family and friends do!...

Why This Recipe Works Baby carrots – While you can totally use whole carrots cut up in this roasted carrots recipe, I find that baby carrots cook faster and are a little bit more tender and sweet to begin with. But use whatever you have. Butter and honey – The butter gives the carrots an amazingly buttery taste and is the perfect cooking fat for this dish. Then, the honey gives a bit of a caramelization and of course adds the perfect amount of sweetness too....

This is on my favorites list now and luckily, the whole family loves these sweet potatoes. While chatting with my cousin Hannah about different food pairings, we stumbled on a combination of lemon and basil with sweet potatoes. Knowing how lovely butter is with just about everything, I figured that this recipe idea needed to happen as soon as possible. So, we picked up sweet potatoes and lemons the next time we were at the store....
Sausage Egg Roll In A Bowl Adding sausage to a simple dish like the Egg Roll Skillet adds a whole lot of flavor with minimal effort. I like using breakfast sausage (the hot sausage variety is my first choice) for the abundance of spices that are already there, but any sausage you like will work here. This allows for a lightning fast recipe with just a few ingredients. If you’re a fan of spicy heat, I highly recommend the full ¼ cup of chili paste in this recipe....

I think I’m doing some wishful cooking. And by wishful cooking I mean turning up the heat in our main dishes in the hopes that the weather will heat up as well. It’s sort of working. This past week or so has been in the 50’s and feeling slightly less winterish. Personally I like it in the high 80’s but I’ll take this over freezing temps and snow any day!...

Tin Roof Ice Cream This was my Grandpa McGinnis’ favorite ice cream. I never really liked tin roof ice cream much as a kid, as peanuts in ice cream just weren’t my thing. But, as an adult, I sure do love this homemade version. Maybe it’s that the peanuts are covered in chocolate. Maybe it’s the decadent fudge sauce. Or, maybe it’s the chewy chunks of fudge. But, when you put all three of them together, there’s no maybe about it....
