in the kitchen

{this balsalmic blackberry rye oat crumble is the great end to a meal. i didn't use rye flour but it was great with just a normal oat topping}

{carrot cilantro chile slaw made the perfect topping for some slow cooked pulled pork sandwiches}

{cheesy kale and red roasted pepper pasta bake. i used whole wheat pasta and no ricotta to make this a tad healthier}

{these little salted caramel apple hand pies were the perfect bite sized dessert for a recent baby shower}

{the best chicken enchiladas. ever. used trader joes tomatillo salsa to make this a much easier/quicker recipe}

{rosemary roasted cashews - so easy and so good}

{another cute baby shower appetizer - bite sized baked brie}
over the last few weeks i've had a lot of time to make some of my favorite meals and try out some new ones. here's a bit of what i've been cooking up.
