Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese

January 21, 2016November 19, 2016by Radiate Food VibesLeave a Comment

February is just around the corner, and for many, that means the climax of the never-ending football season…the super bowl. However, I am most definitely not one of those people. I may be a fool to admit this, but I don’t care about football. It just doesn’t do it for me. But because Super Bowl Sunday is considered a national holiday in my household, which is pretty much a real life version of “the new girl”, I feel obligated to enjoy something when it comes to this classic American pastime. And, to no one’s surprise, that something is the food. I can definitely get on board for football Sundays when that means yummy bar snacks and fun finger foods. But when I’m in charge, these classic game day dishes need a makeover to meet my two standards, meat-free and wholesome (even if indulgent). And that’s where Jalapeño Popper Macaroni and Cheese comes in. Continue reading “Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese” →

Today marks the first day of Hanukkah 2015, and for the first time ever, I’m really getting into the celebration. I don’t want my long term love, Christmas, to feel abandoned (I will, as always, be giving you plenty of attention). But I can’t deny that I am so excited to fully throw Matt’s Hanukkah festivities into the mix from now on. Continue reading “Yukon Gold Latkes with Cran-Apple Sauce & Scallion Cream” →

Savory Brown Gravy with Mushrooms (vegetarian)

November 24, 2015October 16, 2020by Radiate Food Vibes5 Comments

I have something quite special to be thankful for this year. My second nephew was born just 3 days ago, and I am so looking forward to these next five work-free days filled with straight-up family time and bonding with the newest member of our family.

With that said, Thanksgiving is dinner less than 48 hours away. Hard to believe. But 48 hours away it is, so it’s time to share another holiday classic, vegetarian-style. This simple recipe for rich and flavorful mushroom gravy is a must-have at the table. Personally, I like to drench my entire plate in gravy, so of course I’m going to have a perfect recipe for a veggie-friendly gravy.

Classic Homemade Biscuits

November 18, 2015April 14, 2016by Radiate Food VibesLeave a Comment

Biscuits. A family favorite in my house, and in most other households, if I had to guess. Every holiday in my family includes biscuits; always has and always will. But not all biscuits are created equal. Homemade biscuits are not only simple to make, but include very few ingredients. All of which you probably have stocked in the kitchen already. On the other hand, the store-bought, pre-made brand biscuits that come out of a tube often include transfats, preservatives, and other unnatural additives. I guess using the store bought brand shaves off a few minutes, but for me, it’s not nearly enough of a time saver to convince me to use them. So homemade biscuits is it. Fresh, hot, buttery biscuits, ready to be drizzled with honey and jam, stuffed with eggs and cheese, or smothered with rich gravy. Take your pick. Continue reading “Classic Homemade Biscuits” →
