Three Cheese Corn Cappelletti with Pancetta. I show you two ways to make it: one all from scratch, and one in 30 minutes!
Croque Monsieur – The Ultimate Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Alright, here we go, back at it after a week of house-wide sickness, and then another week trying to get everything back in order and the house clean. Sorry. It’s that whole balance thing where, while I love being a blogger, until I’ve got three kids in school (aka the glory years), I’ve got a…
Is it ok if I go cry in a corner?
As a self-professed do-er of everything, it really sucks when a week comes along and metaphorically kicks you in the nuts. Oliver brought the stomach flu home 190-ish hours ago (I’m totally not counting though). Right now, I’m the only one still really sick. Who gets sick for a solid week with the stomach flu? And…
Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs are a classic for a reason In our house summer means BBQ’s and birthday’s (We’ve got Uncle Alex and Logan in June, Oliver and Anna in July, and Bo and I in August). That means there are a lot of get-togethers happening in just three months. Growing up, I can’t think of a…
BBQ Jerk Chicken Pizza #GrillWithGrace
UPDATE: I’ve included the recipe for regular (non-jerk style) BBQ chicken in the notes section of the recipe as well! There is nothing more that I enjoy in the summer then grilling a meal outside. The kids can go crazy in the backyard, Bo can relax with Sophie on the daybed, and I can stand at…
The Ultimate Guide to Pizza on the Grill (and the best dough recipe for grilling)
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve pretty much read every authority I could for doing pizza on the grill. My obsession with it started last summer, when on a whim I bought a ball of pizza dough and some fresh mozzarella because I didn’t feel like the salmon I was making for Bo. It…
Creamy Dreamy Lemon Loaf (Shhh… They’re better than Starbucks!)
What better way to start off the Saturday of a long weekend (thank you Queen Victoria!) than with a bright, fresh, tart, summer lemon loaf recipe. If you’ve ever taken a bite of the one from Starbucks, you’ve been wanting to make it at home. If you’ve ever taken a bite of this loaf, which…
Ultimate Macaroni Salad – Amish style with eggs and cheese
There are a few things that you just can not buy. I was walking around, trying to pick out some easy sides for a BBQ last Saturday, trying to make life easier by not making everything from scratch. I picked up the macaroni salad (it was basically fluorescent orange), I looked at the tiny little…
Peach Tea Granita
I don’t think anyone is happier than I am that summer is just around the corner. The kids are finally outside all afternoon on the playground, my hammock is gearing up for afternoons spent flipping through magazines, and the BBQ is finally working its magic a few days a week. Better than all of that though,…
Easy Baked Penne – Lasagna Style
Ever feel like a lasagna, but not all the time it takes. Or really, just how “warm” it feels. I could just be a weirdo here, but to me, lasagna is for cold winter nights, when it’s snowy outside and the last thing you want to do is open a door and let any of…
Last Minute Mothers Day Gift Ideas
SURPRISE! Mother’s Day is just five days away. Five. I can’t figure out how it still manages to sneak up on me when literally every commercial for the last month has been an advertisement for something shiny and sparkly for mothers day. I’m not the shiny, sparkly type though. I like something I can actually…
Sweet Crepes
I make crepes a lot. Mainly just because they’re delicious, but also because they’re so easy, and there are SO many options for them. I know that there are tons of people who are intimidated by making them; they’re so thin, they seem impossible to flip, and if you ever watch someone do it at one…
May 1 – You
I thought it would be fun to sign up for a month long commitment to blogging. Every day, one quick little post, a way for everyone to get to know me a little better, and a way for me to start blogging with more frequency. Bonus – this month the daily “themes” were written to go…
Summer Melon Salad
This is another throw back post to one of my favorite salads of all time. It’s just so “Summer” in every bite, and seeing as I had snow on my lawn last week, I’m desperate for a reminder. It’s just a few simple ingredients: sweet melon, salty prosciutto, mild bocconcini, fresh mint, and a squeeze…
One Bowl Chocolate Cake
It’s Friday morning, and man, am I ever glad that it’s finally Friday morning. The last two weeks have felt like they just dragged on for ever, and I’m really looking forward to two days where we don’t really have anything planned. Well, I shouldn’t say nothing. I’m about to embark on a two hour…
Buffalo Spice Rub
This is my personal “I put that s*%& on everything”. Because seriously, I put this on EVERYTHING! It started out because I love the Buffalo rub at Buffalo Wild Wings, but I can’t buy it in Canada, and I don’t want to have to shell out money every time I feel like it. This isn’t quite…
