Say hello to your new comfort food dish: Smothered Chicken and Broiled Broccolini. This book-inspired recipe for Meg and Jo was an easy pick. One of the things I loved about this novel is that it contains no shortage of delicious food. At one point, Jo March is asked to make “family dinner” for the restaurant crew where she works, and she whips up a Southern staple of smothered chicken, cornbread, and collard greens. I swear my eyebrows shot...
Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness is coming your way in the form of One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta. I know we’re nearing the end of comfort food season, but after an especially trying 13 months, I think we’re allowed a little over-indulgence, don’t you? One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta is the exact warm, comforting, culinary hug you need in your life. Imagine my surprise to find the book-inspired recipe for Wow, No Thank You already in the book! If...

Many of my book-inspired recipe plans have been derailed because of what I can(‘t) get from the grocery store these days. But, as luck would have it,...
Cauliflower and White Cheddar Soup is your go-to staple for classic comfort food in a bowl. Even though it's a mystery, Aunt Dimity and The King’s Ransom really hits the spot when it comes to foodie fiction. The inn's shifty chef, Steve, is a culinary genius, and his meals at The King's Ransom are paid a lot of attention throughout the book, much to this food blogger's delight. Two dishes in particular are repeatedly mentioned: Steve's apple...
Well, Tartlets, in case you haven't noticed, new posts are a little more intermittent these days. Remember that concussion I mentioned awhile back? Yeeaaaah. Turns out, it didn't go away as quickly as I had originally thought. I had a relapse in mid-January, and I was told by various doctors that the only cure is rest and time.
