What’s better than fresh blueberries enjoyed in the warm, long days of summer? Enjoying those very same blueberries right out of the freezer in the short, chilly days of winter! That’s what inspired this recipe, in fact. Finding my stash of summer blueberries in my […]
One of the first foods I ever learned to cook myself was the good ol’ classic blue-box Mac’ and Cheese. It was an after school staple in my house. Much like my culinary journey as a whole, I learned to make the cheesy noodles in […]
What can I say? Creamy chicken soup is good all on it’s own, but adding doughy pillows of stock-simmered dumplings, well that just takes it to an entirely new level. Besides the airy, doughy texture, I love that dumplings like these call for very standard […]
What can I say? I am currently obsessing over sweet potatoes! Before the shelter-at-home mandate, I bought a bunch because I knew they would last, and I knew could get a lot of use out of them, including a satisfying sweet-tooth treat if needed, like […]
Hello! How are you? Let me guess – you are home, slightly bored (or majorly restless) and wondering what activities will occupy your day today? How many of you are cooking as a way to pass the time? For me, cooking is a wonderful creative […]
Hello, Friends! I know it’s been awhile since my last post and I am so sad about that! Lot’s of stuff has been happening in my life lately so while I adjust to some change, I have given myself a little break on the blogging. BUT, I realized that I’ve been sitting on this incredibly easy recipe that’s perfect for this hectic Back-to-School season, while also being totally reliant on the bounty of these last weeks of summer. So, I thought, best to get to sharing this recipe for Baked Trout with Corn, Tomatoes and Fennel while it still applies!
As for my life, well, I’ll catch you up on that in a later post. For now, let’s just solve dinner problems. Sound good?
Homemade crackers, you ask? Yes! Homemade caraway-seed crackers are so much easier than you may think, and super flavorful. Whether you want to try something new for your next cocktail party, or get a group together for a fun DIY kitchen project, these crackers are […]
Ok, so churrasco steak is a dish I have been cooking for clients A LOT lately. What can I say? As the weather warms up, everyone just wants some grilled meat! My recipe for Churrasco Steak with Serrano-Lime Butter takes the traditionally, citrus-marinated steak up […]
Ok, this is one of those recipe shares that kinda feels like cheating. I mean, this dish is soooooo incredibly simple. There’s no fancy chef technique, or clever kitchen hack that’s about to be revealed. My easy herb and ricotta pasta is just simple, to-the-point cooking. Aimed at getting a tasty dish on the table without much effort because it’s summer and I want to be outside, not at the stove, no what I mean?? I’m sure you do!
What can I say! I love a quick pickle! Who’s with me? This recipe for Pickled Pepper Pearl Couscous is not only fun to say, but easy to make. It requires only a little planning ahead, and what I consider to be a few staple […]
Guess what today is?!?! Today is….my Mom’s Birthday! Happy Birthday, MOM!!!! My mom is the best. Loyal, a good listener, generous, slow to anger. (I actually can’t remember the last time she was angry with me – even though I know plenty of times she […]
Friends, remember that recipe I shared a few weeks ago for Grilled Peach Salad with Crispy Kale and Avocado? Well, the inspiration (or, obsession…either way) for grilled peaches continues with this recipe for Grilled Peach Salsa. I mean, how can you not?!
Grilled fruit in the middle of summer, diced into a bowl with fresh jalapeno, shallot, vinegar and oil to be served on a salty chip. Or, a crostini with ricotta! Or, in a lettuce cup, or a taco shell, or on grilled chicken….! See where I’m going with this? The possibilities for deliciousness are endless. Fire up those grills, baby, and let’s get to it!
With all the talk lately of seasonal produce and fresh vegetables, I nearly forgot it’s also Burger Season!!! Am I right?! My favorite way to make a burger at home is to use ground lamb instead of ground beef. After all, plenty of restaurants around […]
Hi! My name is Emily Wilson. I learned to cook because I loved to eat and cravings for my favorite foods led me straight into the kitchen. What I love most is inspiring other people to cook great tasting food, too. I'm glad you're here. Let's cook something craveable together! Read more...
Hi, and welcome to my new food blog! I appreciate you stopping by and I can’t wait to start cooking for you and with you. What makes my kitchen so craveable? Well, that’s going to be the fun part, because cravings can be oh so unpredictable! Ultimately, I learned to cook because I loved to eat so much, and when I started to realize I could create the food I was craving right in my own home I became kinda hooked!
I always joke that I have a fat-tooth. You know, instead of a sweet-tooth? Instead of craving sugar and chocolate (although I crave that stuff, too), I have always craved salty, fatty, crunchy stuff. No wonder my favorite food group is Chips and Dip! But as I am sure anyone can understand, my cravings change over the years and through the seasons. Sometimes I want fresh, wholesome foods instead of those fatty comfort dishes. And sometimes I choose to cook something simply because I crave the satisfaction of creating something with my own two hands, like bread or ravioli or braised short ribs! So you’ll see, this kitchen will be packed with all kinds of recipes. My hope is that as I share my craving-based recipes with you it will spark a craving in you, sending you straight into your kitchen to cook something craveable, too!
So pull up a chair. Introduce yourself in the comments, and tell me what kinds of food you crave!
