Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
For several years, I’ve used my slow cooker regularly to cook an entire chicken. I had been using the 100 Days of Real Food cookbook’s version, which uses a combination of spices. But, several months ago, I started switching it up, and the results have been fantastic. Essentially, I now give the chicken the Ina…

Roasted Potatoes with a Lemon Vinaigrette
I think we should talk about these potatoes. For starters, they’re roasted until golden brown and lightly crisp. Then, as soon as they’re out of the oven, they’re tossed in a bright, flavorful lemon vinaigrette that pairs perfectly with warm summer nights and impromptu cookouts. I love dishes like this one where the cooking is largely…

Lemon Blueberry Scones
Easter is coming up folks. What are you making? Not sure, yet? Can I recommend these scones? Several years ago, I was a scone making machine. I made them with a number of different fruits, but always used the same base recipe from Orangette, because it was simple. Also, the results were delicious. This particular version is…

Today is National Donut Day. Let the fireworks begin. In honor of this special holiday, I wanted to share my recipe for lemon blueberry donuts once again. Baked and studded with tart, juicy blueberries, they are as good as you might imagine. Make them today, or this weekend, in celebration. Cinderella dresses are optional. I’d love to…

Lemon, Blueberry Donuts
As we picked blueberries a few weeks ago, I dreamed of what I’d make with them. I considered muffins, scones and pancakes, until I landed on something amazing: lemon, blueberry donuts. I’d made baked donuts before using Daphne Oz’s recipe, so I thought I could use it as a base to create these. Studded with…

My Life Before
After just a few days as a vegeterian, I can officially tell you it is hard, and it’s not because the food isn’t good – it really is. The difficult part, for me at least, is the planning. I knew I wanted to launch this experiment in March, but for some reason, I didn’t prepare well. The…

Drink & Be Merry
We had some friends over to watch football and eat an unhealthy amount of queso. I’ve been wanting to try a mulled apple cider recipe I found in the October issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray for a while now and thought this would be a good excuse. Our largest pot was occupied with chili,…

Zucchini, Garbanzo and Lemon Couscous
When I started to make dinner last week, I discovered the main course hadn’t thawed, and we were out of boxed mac and cheese, our go-to last-minute dinner. So, I was left to root around our kitchen cabinets. Thank God I had cleaned them out the day before, or I would be writing this from…
