I make hummus all the time because it’s such a healthy and tasty snack and usually I like it in the classic style. Every once in a while I like to mix it up and add some avocado or edamame. Yesterday I had a nice butternut squash and decided to see how it would … Continue reading
It’s finally hot here in New Hampshire, although who knows how long that will last! I decided to make a light and fresh dinner even though I was craving some cheesy pasta. So I whipped out my vegetable peeler and made some “noodles” out of zucchini. It’s a simple and healthy way to indulge … Continue reading
I’ve made this veggie mac and cheese twice now and it’s officially on my top ten list of my all time favorite dishes. The first time I created it for Easter dinner at my Mom’s house because we have some vegetarians in the family and I think it’s nice to have a real main … Continue reading
While I was in Finland our family took a cruise ship from Helsinki to Stockholm on the Silja Line. The ship wasn’t one of those mega sized cruised ships but we had beautiful cabins and views, several dining and bar choices, a spa and saunas, duty free shopping and a place for children to … Continue reading

It’s the end of March but yesterday the wind howled and gusted in what was hopefully a last ditch effort of winter. I didn’t want to venture out unless I had to and luckily I didn’t so I decided to slow cook some pork Italian style – ultimate comfort food. This is a fairly simple … Continue reading
I ventured over to the Winter Farmer’s Market at the Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollinsford today. I had no idea what to expect as I drove down the road towards the market but I was excited to find that it was much larger than I had thought with a huge variety of vendors inside the greenhouses. … Continue reading
In a recent post I wrote about the Newmarket farmer’s market. https://asavourylife.com/2014/03/15/a-trip-to-newmarket-farmers-market/ I bought some spring baby carrots and a mix of greens from a local farmer and tonight I created a recipe with them. I really wanted to highlight the fresh earthy flavor of the carrots and the sharp green bite of the greens without … Continue reading
