There’s been so much to celebrate lately- Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, The Kentucky Derby.. sometimes blogging feels like an exercise in chasing the holidays. So today (there are no holidays that I know of) I am going back to my roots. Recipes for recipes sake. Behold! Crepes with Wild…

So I just realized that the last 7 posts on the blog have been vegetarian. This is 100% accidental, people! Do not fear – I am not converting to a restrictive diet. (Unless you consider excessive sugar and dairy consumption a restriction). But seriously, I’ve been holding out on you…
This duck breast with cherry sauce might be my new favorite recipe on The Gourmet Gourmand. And if you are in need of a Valentine’s menu idea, or a just-because-I-want-to-get-fancy menu idea, let this be your meal. I think we need a little backstory with this one, though. Dave and I…

Is it horrible that I am pre-eating for Thanksgiving? In my recent indoctrination to food blogging culture, it has not escaped my notice that food bloggers have recently been posting Thanksgiving themed recipes all over the internet at an alarming rate. While still somewhat a newbie, I assume that I must not…
It is October 2nd. That means in my mind I can give you a pumpkin recipe. Because, let’s be real, prior to this I just haven’t been emotionally ready.
Homemade caramel sauce is the stuff of my dreams. And by “dreams” I should clarify that, for years, I’ve had a specific fantasy of dredging crepes in caramel and eating piles of them like a depraved French baby. So finally one weekend I decided to hunker down and make this fantasy…
