Stocking the pantry.

What’s in your pantry (or refrigerator or freezer)? I’ve put together a list of what I think are essential ingredients in every kitchen.

Refreshing mint-lime tea.

An abundance of mint growing in my garden inspired this refreshing tea with fresh lime juice and local honey.

Easy grilled flatbread.

This super simple grilled flatbread makes a great accompaniment to dinner on these warm evenings.

Of bread and family.

I took a road trip this week and drove my mom and grandma from Indianapolis to visit my brother’s new Chicago bakery. Check it out!

Simple chocolate-red wine cake.

In my estimation, this wine-infused chocolate cake is about as perfect as a dessert can be: deeply flavored, not too sweet, moist, very simple to make. Perfect, right? I spotted a photo of this chocolate-red wine …

Cheesy pasta with arugula and mushrooms.

An unexpected, cheesy ingredient makes this super-flavorful pasta with tomatoes, mushrooms and arugula perfect for Meatless Mondays.
