Pumpkin Polenta with Fall Vegetables

Kaitlin — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:00:02 +0000

I’m a huge pumpkin fan, and I don’t mean “pumpkin spice” when I say that (although I do love pumpkin spice things as well!) I haven’t made a savory pumpkin dish for a while, so I was excited to try this recipe for Pumpkin Polenta with Fall Vegetables I found on the Food Network. I... Read More »

Arepas Pabellón

Kaitlin — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 12:00:40 +0000

This recipe for Arepas Pabellón is inspired by a visit to an absolutely delicious Venezuelan restaurant. Last week, I checked out one of Philly’s newest restaurants: Puyero Venezuelan Flavor. Located just off of South Street on S 4th, the restaurant serves Venezuelan street food including arepas, patacones and tequenos, plus yummy desserts like churros. The... Read More »

Happy New Year! Our unseasonably warm weather seems to have left with 2015, and colder temperatures are here to stay for a while. This recipe for Chicken Agrodolce with Creamy Polenta from Cooking Light’s December 2015 issue is great for cold nights — it’s comforting without being too heavy. Agrodolce means “sweet and sour” in... Read More »

Mushroom and Sausage Ragu with Creamy Polenta

Kaitlin — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 12:00:22 +0000

With the weather starting to cool off a bit, I had a hankering for something a little more hearty that I could still prepare on a weeknight. This recipe from Cooking Light incorporates mushrooms and turkey sausage into a tomato sauce to make a filling but lighter meal. The polenta is kicked up a notch... Read More »

Bacon, Tomato, and Arugula (BLT) Pizza

Kaitlin — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:00:16 +0000

I haven’t made a pizza recipe on here in a while (since October! Wow!) so it’s about time I rectified that! I honestly would not have typically chosen this recipe from my latest Cooking Light magazine, but my boyfriend spotted it on the cover and put in a special request. He typically eats whatever I...

Salmon with Polenta and Warm Tomato Vinaigrette

Kaitlin — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:00:23 +0000

I’ve been in a bit of a cooking rut lately (which is why I haven’t posted many recipes recently). Work has been busy which means that by the time I get home, I just want to eat something quickly with little effort. So I started researching 20 minute meals that are really simple to make,...

Prosciutto Fig and Arugula Flatbread

Kaitlin — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:00:21 +0000

!This weekend, I attended a conference in Philadelphia. As a “local blogger” I received quite a few food perks due to my proximity to the conference. I was sent home with a case of Gerolsteiner Mineral Water, a whole watermelon (and a heavy one at that!), and a case of fresh California Mission Figs. Poor... Read More »

Artichoke and Arugula Pizza with Prosciutto

Kaitlin — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 11:00:47 +0000

This weekend, I was looking for a quick meal to feed myself and a bunch of friends. I wanted something that doesn’t really involve a sit-down meal but would fill everyone up. Homemade pizza is perfect for situations like this. You can add whatever toppings you want and can even make a bunch of smaller... Read More »

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

Kaitlin — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

I am in love with all things warm-weather related, but one of my favorite parts of summer is the outdoor eating (surprise surprise). I used to work at a camp on the Chesapeake in Maryland and would spend one day a year stuffing myself with steamed Old Bay crabs. I now have friends who live... Read More »

Fried Okra

Kaitlin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:00:00 +0000

Okra. I have never made anything with okra, nor have a really had a hankering to do so. But it was one of my vegetables in my CSA share so I thought I’d give it a try. If I had time this weekend, I would have preferred to attempt to make a gumbo, but I’m... Read More »
