One my favorite things about winter, is that citrus is in season! From cara cara oranges to blood oranges and meyer lemons. For this Lemon Tart with Meringue Topping, I used a combination of lemon blood orange juice! But you can use any combination of citrus that you like.

How To Make an Epic Cheeseboard
Homemade Sourdough Loaf
Hussein loves bread and always prefers bakery fresh bread to anything in a plastic bag in the supermarket. I’ve made quick, no-knead loafs with yeast before but really wanted to try my hand at sourdough. Many of my blogger friends had posted about Artisan Sourdough Made Simple by Emilie Raffa. I ordered the book and…
Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Gravy
Mashed potatoes are essential for Thanksgiving and as important as the turkey. There are so many ways to mash and season your potatoes. I like this Mashed Potato and Mushroom gravy Recipe best, as it is the perfect texture and creaminess. I use chives, lots of butter and heavy cream, salt and pepper for seasoning and…
Citrus Spiced Cranberry Sauce
I L-O-V-E cranberry sauce. But not that stuff that comes out of metal jar. Yes, I know they organic cranberry sauce in cans but it is not as good as homemade. This recipe is super easy to make and can be done two days in advance (I wouldn’t go longer, because we are making fresh…
Citrus and Herb Turkey Recipe

My family loves tabbouleh and it is a dish we often make together. My mom, sisters and I, would pick through bunches and bunches of parsley when making this for parties. I…
Pumpkin Spice Pecan Muffins
It’s pumpkin spice season and you either absolutely love it or you don’t. Pumpkin spice is no longer limited to pies and lattes; they now flavor cough drops with pumpkin spice. Yes, they really do exist. :D. I used this blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, to create my Pumpkin Spice Pecan Muffins! I…
Salted Caramel Fig Chocolate Cake
I love figs. They’re deliciously sweet and packed with flavor. They’re also really good for you and make a great addition to desserts. I made this salted caramel fig chocolate cake before baby Hannah came into the world, but did not have a chance to share it until now. I used mission figs from Melissa’s…
Butternut Squash Soup
I don’t often admit this, but I was a picky eater as a child and young adult. For some reason, I did not like soup (I think it was the texture?). What are the foods you did not like as a kid, that you now enjoy? I’d love to hear about the transition from dislike…
