Fall flavors are one of the best parts of the season. Who loves fall? I do and I love fall flavors. Fall is definitely my favorite season and its flavors are probably my favorite. Pumpkin, carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, apples and broccoli are in season. Yum! If you love fall flavors as I […]
Halloween Party Snacks
We love Halloween. We often host a kids’ party on Halloween weekend complete with fun snacks and games. This year is no different. As I’m planning my Halloween party snacks, I thought to myself, I should share these with you guys. Spiderweb Seven-Layer Dip Seven-layer dip is one of my go-to party foods. It’s pretty […]
Chickpea Root Vegetable Stew
Chickpea root vegetable stew is a beautiful creation I stumbled upon by accident when the kids were home with the sniffles. They needed something warm, soothing and nutritious. So, I rummaged through our pantry and crisper. Chickpea root vegetable stew is the result. And wow, it is fantastic. We’ll be enjoying this again. This stew […]
English Ginger Biscuits
If you’re a fan of British Bake Off or you’ve just watched the Downton Abbey movie, English Ginger Biscuits might be on your mind lately. The girls and I are huge Bake Off fans and have been following along this season as well. I haven’t yet seen the movie, but enjoyed the Downton Abbey series, […]
Bug and Cat’s Blueberry Lemon Scones
VeggieConverter’s Note: Blueberry lemon scones? Yes, please! Don’t mind if I do. Made by my kid and not me? Even better. If you aren’t familiar with scones, you crazy. Just kidding, mostly . . . Scones are basically biscuits and are often filled with delicious fruity goodness. Bug decided, presumably with a little help from […]

Yeah, that’ll do. VeggieConverter’s Note: My lovely daughters, who you may know as Bug/Tall Fry and Goose/Small Fry have decided it’s high time they contribute their own […]
Fathead Pizza: Keto Adventures
As if our food requirements weren’t complicated enough, my husband recently decided to try the keto diet. So far, my favorite super keto recipe is by far fathead pizza. Why keto you ask? Primarily for weight loss, which (spoiler alert) has totally worked for him so far. After he was laid off last month, Mr. […]
Leaky Cauldron Guinness Beef Stew
We took an amazing family trip to Universal and Disney during the fall and something unexpected happened in Diagon Alley. I fell in love with a bowl of beef stew, Guinness Beef Stew. The Leaky Cauldron was my favorite restaurant that we visited on that trip. And we visited some great ones! At the other […]
Grapefruit Curd
Grapefruit curd, I didn’t set out to make it. It just happened. The girls have a new favorite citrus fruit and, I’ll be honest…it comes as a bit of a surprise. It’s grapefruit. We got a big box of red grapefruit as a holiday gift and they went nuts for it. I really love citrus […]
Cuban Black Bean Soup
The girls and I love our Cuban black bean soup. One of our favorite local restaurants is the Cuban Diner and they have an amazing black bean soup. They also have fantastic picadillo, empanadas and plantains. Mom’s a big fan of their cuba libres, too. They’re tasty. Can’t be helped. We make a pretty good […]
