Fall 2012 is here! Let’s just say my jeans are happy to be worn, my tea cups are happy to be full. My scarves and boots are waiting in the wings (it is Georgia, after all). It’s not really cold here yet, but I’ve wasted no time stockpiling pumpkins, squash, pecans and apples. We’ve also […]

Then pop back to Oven Love for the Thai Chicken Taquitos recipe (posted yesterday). Then get ready for two dinners that will blow your pants off. (I mean that […]

I felt like a real genius with this one, you guys. This crazy Thai/Mexican fusion taquito idea just popped into my brain and would not leave until I made it happen. All I could think about was peanut sauce for days. Days! Then another idea called Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps became best friends with the […]

I have awesome friends. I have awesome friends who let me borrow their fancy blenders, no questions asked. And friends who tell me about secret local food co-ops. And friends who dehydrate our spent grain from homebrewing and then spin it up into flour for me. Just because.Are you jeal? My friends are AWE-SOME. Just […]

 Looking for something to do with that homemade ricotta? Who am I kidding? None of you have made any ricotta since Monday. (If you have, I salute you and we are destined to be BFFs.) I must be the only crazy person with a fridge full of raw milk and an interest in cheese making. […]

I know Paleo is definitely a thing, but is ‘Almost Paleo’ a thing? Well, I’m making it a thing. These little squares are going to make your paleo-loving tummies very happy, with or without the frosting. ‘Cause let’s face it, the frosting is the problem here. Apparently those old cave people didn’t do cream cheese […]

Ever since we started drinking raw milk, I have been itching to make some cheese with it. The only thing getting in my way is a tiny human with a serious appetite for milk- we almost never have any milk leftover for cooking or experimenting. Last week I got hit with The Lucky Stick and […]

Mr. Nick (that handsome fellow I share a last name with) is here to talk about home brewing! I know I’ve mentioned it before, but he’s been brewing beer at home for a while now and we’re finally ready to share it with you. (Meaning we finally got off our butts, took some photos and […]

Can I just say that I love you guys? You’re the best. And because you’re the best, I want to Oven Love to be the best. So I’ve taken all of your ideas into consideration- namely, “Natalie, I really want to read your post but I can’t see it on the red background!”- and will […]

 Need some new snack ideas? Come visit me over at MPMK today for a round-up of 18 easy snacks. Your afternoons just got a little more special.

What’s up!? The toddlers have amazed me by sleeping for TWO HOURS so here I am- bringing you some cookies. I wish I could bring them to you personally, but the inmates are running the asylum around here and they just won’t let me out! I’m surprised at how much I’ve been in the kitchen […]

You guys. I am in the midst of an intense week of toddler-watching (we are caring for two extra little cuties this week while their parents are on vacay), so I have about 10 minutes to say my peace about these salmon cakes. Let’s cut to the chase: 1. They’re a great use of leftovers. […]
