Hosting a little get together with a few friends this holiday season? These little pies look super fancy and impressive, but are actually easier to make than a regular apple pie. Because they are cooked in little muffin tins the crust gets crisp and golden brown on the bottom (hard to do with a regular pie!) and they are already in cute individual portions. Keep reading

This salad may not seem like much at first, but thinly sliced apples and broccoli are not only delicious together, they have a crunchy, satisfying texture that makes this salad a lot of fun to eat. I had an apple salad at a neighborhood restaurant recently, and it had a little honey in the dressing, which I think would be a great addition here! People are always surprised by how much they like this, so shake off your skepticism and give this a try!
We have been eating a lot of Grandma style pizza from a local joint lately. Grandma style pizza is baked in a pan and usually topped with garlic, olive oil, barely cooked tomato sauce and mozzarella. It’s awesome. The crust isn’t thick, but it gets a little crispy on the bottom and around the edges where crust and cheese meet pan.
So here is my spring Grandma pizza. A white pie with ribbons of fresh asparagus and ricotta (home-made if you’ve got it). You make the dough overnight or same day depending on the time you have. The overnight dough will be tastier and a little easier to work with. The same day dough will be faster!
We eat this kale salad in our house constantly and I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy it. If you have been over for a meal chances are you have tasted some version of this thing. It’s more or less the Kale Salad from Good and Cheap. It’s great just as is, but lately I’ve been making additions to it, like adding roasted squash, sliced pickles, roasted cauliflower, olives, whatever! This week I tried adding a soft boiled egg, and it might just be the best thing yet. Adding an egg instantly turns this into breakfast salad. Keep reading
