Garden Thyme: Sunflowers

August 6, 2014

This is my first year planting sunflowers and I still have a lot to learn. My sunflowers started from seeds I bought at Home Depot and I planted them in my garden in the back row on Memorial Day. I have different kinds of sunflowers to create different heights and colors. My flowers became so tall and sturdy because I planted them in an area that gets 7 hours of sun a…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

July 14, 2014

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

Apple Crisp Cheesecake

February 11, 2014

Close your eyes and think of a time when you were outside during the peak of fall. If you can think of a time when you were in the northeast (dare I say New England?) then you’ll be more in tune to what I’m describing. Feel the crisp autumn air around you, listen to the ruffling of the leaves scraping the road as they tumble away, and the smell of…

Slow Cooker Tacos

December 19, 2013

Ughghg you know I how I feel about the crock pot. Set it and forget it – yes not the right tag line, but it works. I love being able to prepare my meals in the morning before work, throw it in the crock pot, let it slow cook all day while we’re at work, and come home and dinner is ready. We made these delicious slow cooker tacos last…

Turkey Biscuit Pie

December 18, 2013

Wowzers! This was delicious. While flipping through out latest issue of Food Network magazine, we came across a recipe for Turkey Biscuit Pie. While this recipe calls for baking it in a skillet, we used a 9inch pan, and instead of making the biscuits from scratch, we went for Pillsbury Homestyle Southern Grands. Yes we took the easy road, but it was so work it. One day we’ll make another…

Quinoa Chili

December 15, 2013

This is our first experience cooking with quinoa and I think we’ve finally jumped on the quinoa superfood wagon. We had some quinoa tacos at Stephanie’s house a few weeks ago – they were delicious! So we substituted in quinoa for turkey in our turkey chili recipe, to make some delicious quinoa chili.…

Pumpkin Bread

September 23, 2013

What’s fall without pumpkin bread? Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you? If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass. I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall. When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

January 21, 2013

For the long weekend, my parents, my spoiled 8 eight year old puppy, and myself, ventured up to our lake house in New Hampshire. Brr, it was cold, even Siri knew it! I saw this recipe for the roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese croutons on Pinterest, and had it sitting in my back pocket for a few months. Saturday night, we wanted to make a healthy, hearty, warm-your-heart kind of…

Pecan Pie

January 14, 2013

I’ve never made – let alone tasted – pecan pie. The first time I tasted pecan pie was last week. It was delicious! I was hooked. Side note – this was supposed to be for a bake off at work and I failed to remember the date. Being that it was my first time making this dish, I went a step further and created my own. Nuts, you say? Maybe. …

Salmon Bisque

November 13, 2012

Hi, Ashley here! At this point, we’re friends right? No need to introduce myself anymore. Good, because I want to get right into this recipe for a salmon bisque. My dad loves to fish, and this weekend he brought home some fresh salmon. He wanted to make something different, and since it’s getting chilly outside, we decided on a warm bisque. Of course you could use any seafood you’d like-…
