Thanksgiving has always had a special place in my heart. It’s the time of year when everyone gives a little extra effort to spend time together. Work schedules, activities and events become less of a priority and we’re reminded that our families are the real reason for being thankful. Sometimes […]

Busy Day Sausage Veggie Soup
In my house, Tuesdays are our really busy day. My daughter has dance and is absolutely famished when she gets home so I’m always looking for ideas to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible. The crockpot makes an appearance regularly on Tuesdays. I cut up the veggies […]
Hearty Pumpkin and Sausage Soup
It isn’t just fall, it is pumpkinpalooza! This is the time of year when I go overboard on buying pumpkins for every corner of my house and cook pumpkin in everything that I can get away with (without driving my family too crazy). I spent the day at a field […]
Fennel Sausage Skillet
While stalking the Bountiful Baskets Facebook page this weekend, I noticed we have some clear lines drawn when it comes to fennel: 1) People who like it and are armed with scrumptious recipe ideas 2) People who weren’t familiar at all with it (what is this leafy, green, dill-looking, […]
Fennel, Tomato and Sausage Soup
I love to share my fennel recipes because fennel is one of those things that gets a lot of confused looks at pickup. I think that fennel is especially yummy in Italian recipes so I whipped up this soup on a recently fall evening. As soon as weather gets cooler […]

Irish Bell Pepper Eggs
If you slice a bell pepper across the width into 1/2 inch slices, they form a shamrock! I heated eggs in the center of each bell pepper slice and it made a surprising morning breakfast. What a wonderful way to make eggs and vegetables a star for a St. Patrick’s Day […]
Colcannon
Have you ever eaten Colcannon? It is a wonderful creamy combination of mashed potatoes, shredded cabbage or kale, and oozing butter. It is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, but it is a warm and hearty dish for any day!
Irish Shepherd’s Pie
There is nothing more comforting than Irish Shepherd’s Pie. This traditional Irish recipe has been handed down for generations in our family. We make this dish year round but it is a great recipe for St. Patrick’s Day instead of corned beef and cabbage. It is commonly made with […]
Ratatouille
Here’s a fun festive little dish I use when cleaning out my fridge after Bountiful Baskets. It’s just two of us, so I don’t necessarily go through as much of the food as we should as quickly as we should. I love how pretty this is sitting on the table…. […]
