It’s Thanksgiving week- I couldn’t leave you hanging without something yummy to look at! Forget pies and turkeys and sides and all of that nonsense- you probably already have your big day game plan in place. I wanted to give you something to eat in the days before (or after) Turkey Day. Chances are, you […]

Join me at MPMK today where I’m giving 5 tips to hosting guests with alternative diets, food allergies or other dietary restrictions. It doesn’t have to be a huge headache if you do a little planning. (Or it might still be a headache, but at least your guests will know you love them very much!)

This new style of eating has been an adjustment. It’s hard to wrap my head around new rules for meal-planning and eating. So much of my day is spent thinking about food, and planning out when and what we’re going to eat and making grocery lists. I know it’s not permanent (I mean, I hope! […]

I know I just told you I’m supposed to be gluten-free and yes, spelt flour is not gluten-free. But fear not- I didn’t cheat! I was just the chef this time. That means that unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste these waffles. I can say with authority, though, that they look and smell delicious. I […]

You might have noticed that I have been experimenting with quite a few diet philosophies in the past year or so. Vegan, Nourishing Traditions, Paleo, Refined-Sugar Free, Gluten-Free.. I’ve developed recipes that fit into all of these categories. I think it’s time to explain why I seem a little scatterbrained. I have stomach pain. I’m […]

I have a lot of good cookbooks, and I really don’t pull them out enough. When I do, I usually just find some inspiration and end up making a new recipe instead of following the recipes provided. Typical food blogger, ahem. This recipe came about after a meal-planning session with a friend this week (and […]

my kitchen this morning. I have been wanting to share this thought with you for quite some time. Most of what you see when you come to Oven Love are recipes, photos, ideas.. and a little (teeny, tiny, very small) window into my life. But this blog is just something I do, not who I […]

It’s a miracle that I have this recipe to share with you today. Not because I’m busy, but because my oven is on the fritz! The ol’ Oven Love oven is breaking down on me. Not the whole thing, oddly enough.. the stove top is still working. So weird! And so inconvenient since oven-using season […]

I know ya’ll are loving some slow cooker recipes these days. Did you know you can make more than just pot roast in there? Um.. yeah. You can make BREAD in there. And cheesecake. And Chex Mix. The creativity out there on these internets is top notch, am I right? Pop over to MPMK to […]

I don’t eat much store-bought candy these days, but when Halloween rolls around, I find myself eyeballing those Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins. I know it’s basically the same as a peanut butter cup, but for some reason, the pumpkin always tasted better to me. Maybe a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio? Maybe the eye-catching […]

I’ve got a thing for soup lately. Maybe because it’s getting cooler, maybe because I’m trying to include more bone broth in my diet, maybe because you can just throw anything you want into a pot and call it soup. And this soup is really about just that- throwing a bunch of semi-related ingredients into […]

 [This post has been updated from the Oven Love archives.] This soup is exceptional. Exceptional! It’s so good that every fall for the last four years, we’ve remembered it and had to have it again. You know how rare it is for me to make a recipe twice.. so I think this is going to […]
