One thing about being up north means more excuses to use my favorite All Clad Deluxe Slow Cooker. I do have to say that I love this slow cooker – I can brown everything in ONE POT and clean up is a breeze. Not to mention it looks phenomenal on my counter-top if I do say so myself. It’s truly one pot cooking as you can essentially set it and forget it and when you come home from the 9to9, the house smells phenomenal!…

It’s no secret that I’m a huge blueberry aficionado so when I was leafing through this cookbook, Very Blueberry, that has been on my cookbook shelf for ages, I discovered a recipe for Blueberry Morning Glory Muffins….

Growing up, if you had told me that I would become a fan of carrots and channel my inner Bugs Bunny, I probably would have laughed and told you that you were beyond crazy. Carrots and I are definitely not mixy things – or so I thought until an Easter holiday.

When looking for quick and easy sides to go with my Bourbon Cider Glazed Ham, I thought “Sunny Anderson always has the best sides!” Sure enough, it was Sunny to the rescue with her Honey Glazed Carrots….

Today I have a delicious idea for breakfast that I know you are going to love – Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal.

I am not a fan of those instant oatmeal packets ever since I first made baked oatmeal. I love that you can essentially whip up the oatmeal, pour it in a baking dish and the oven does all of the hard work. I saw this Morning Glory Baked Oatmeal recipe on one of my favorite cooking shows, Ellie’s Real Good Food, and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I love Ellie Krieger’s recipes and her cookbooks, Comfort Food Fix: Feel-Good Favorites Made Healthy and You Have It Made: Delicious, Healthy Do-Ahead Meals, are a must on my cookbook shelf. Her recipes always have a healthy twist but you don’t feel like you are skimping out an anything. When she said she had a breakfast recipe that was somewhat like carrot cake, I knew I had to give it a whirl. …

Growing up, we didn’t often have lamb, but, when we did, my Bampa would make his famous Lamb Meatballs. Being Irish, lamb should be in the family DNA, however outside of the Lamb Meatballs or an occasional rack of lamb I’d see on a restaurant menu, my exposure to lamb was minimal.

The American Lamb Board asked us to create a global dish with their Natural American Lamb and I knew this is something my Bampa would encourage me to try. I was thrilled to learn that not only is it local and here in the states, but it’s affordable too! So, when a box arrived on the doorstep with the most perfect boneless leg of lamb, I knew that I’d draw on my Irish roots and let the lamb’s natural flavor shine through. I would accent it with root veggies, like carrots and parsnips with a bit of onion and garlic and fresh rosemary. While I originally was tempted to cook it low and slow in the oven, I decided to let my slow cooker do the heavy work and, when I got home from work, the house smelled fantastic and dinner was a home run. The lamb was tender and moist and the flavors were out of this world. If my Bampa was still here, I’m sure he would have loved this recipe! American Lamb will be on the menu more often….
