The life of being a food blogger spouse is not easy. People joke about 'Med School Widows', but I'm beginning to wonder if Mr. Nomato isn't a 'Food Blogger Widow' instead! He eats all the ugly food, the cast-offs, the rejects, has to deal with my crazy kitchen experiments and reheated picture foods (which he pretends… Read More

Chive and Dill Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

Plain Greek Yogurt tastes gross. There, I said it. When something can be frequently used as a replacement for sour cream, I tend to avoid eating it out of the container with a spoon. That being said, it has a tart smoothness that naturally makes it an excellent base for many delicious snacks. Covered with blueberries,… Read More

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Coffee Cake

I come from a large family. Three girls, three boys. We rarely agree on anything. In fact, the list of things we all love with our whole hearts as a group is very short: Star Wars. Puns. Nana’s Coffee Cake Recipe. This coffee cake has been in the family for years, another oldie, like the… Read More

Whichever one of our ancestors looked at these weird white things growing on a rotten tree and decided to not only touch them, but eat them, must have been verrrry hungry. Not to mention they probably died because they ate the poisonous ones. Thank you for your sacrifice, Oog-Oog,… Read More

Nova Scotia Blueberry Grunt

***Since posting this recipe, it has come to my attention that blueberries contain solanine, which is one of the glykoalkaloids responsible for nightshade allergies. If you are on a nightshade free diet, please proceed with caution unless you are certain that blueberries are okay for you! You can find more information here.***   One of the first… Read More

2 Minute Hummus

Who doesn't love hummus? Garlicky, fresh, delicious hummus. It's so versatile, you can eat it with vegetables, with chips, dollop it on a sandwich to give it a little kick, or even just have at 'er with a giant spoon. And this recipe is so freakin' easy, it almost feels like cheating to give it… Read More
