My first espresso martini. Definitely not my last!

My first espresso martini.
Definitely not my last!
Getting settled into our new digs and getting my workshop AKA kitchen all set up.
But! Lunch breaks are necessary.
Also my body feels broken. Unboxing and organizing is physical work, man.
Happy Friday and see you again soon! ☕️

“This recipe and the mango salsa, jalapeño sauce were the absolute greatest dish side ever. We couldn’t get mahi mahi, but used salmon. The taste still awesome.
I recommend it all. I’m a new fan and follower of killingthyme!”

Goat Cheese & Cherry Pepper Crostini with Sardines

Goat Cheese & Cherry Pepper Crostini with Sardines. @kingoscarseafood and I are bringing you one last appy for the year—and there’s so much flavor in just one bite!
Crostini are always a hit at holiday parties. And for sardine lovers (I know you’re out there!), what better way to enjoy a biteful?
I love this recipe because it’s approachable, calls for little ingredients, and can easily be doubled if need be. A lot of sardine lovers prefer their favorite canned fish right out of the tin, but I don’t even think the purists will complain about the way we’ve jazzed them up here.

Since moving to PA from NC back in August, we’ve

Since moving to PA from NC back in August, we’ve been living with my in-laws while our new home is being built. It’s been really, really hard to create in a space that isn’t mine without my props and tools, etc. My soul is craving creation!
But the new “studio” (aka kitchen) is coming along wonderfully and it will be so worth the wait. I can’t wait to take you on a tour and share some kitchen organizational tips, tricks, and just get back to the drawing board, inspired ✨, to bring you some solid content and ideas.
I can’t thank my readers enough (Instagram hates me but thankfully Google doesn’t) for sticking this out with me 🙏🏻 This has been my most successful blogging year yet, albeit the absolute hardest. Love! 💛

I don’t know what the star of this dish is—the deliciously fat and chewy pappardelle pasta 🍝 or the feisty arrabbiata sauce they’re dressed in. Or maybe it’s the pillowy burrata that cuts through the heat and brings on a subtle richness? Regardless, this is a bowl of pasta that satisfies the belly and the heart. The idea of making from-scratch tomato sauce can seem daunting, but I promise you this one’s a quickie! Simple ingredients, little prep, and a short cooking time that still offers up a ton of flavor ✨

There’s no better way to guarantee yourself a te

There’s no better way to guarantee yourself a tender and juicy turkey than to give it a soak in a salt bath. Poultry lacks the fat that pork and beef have, and that fat adds a lot of flavor. It also locks in juices during the cooking process. So turkey needs help, and marinating isn’t the answer. (America’s Test Kitchen confirmed that marinating poultry does nothing.) But a good turkey brine recipe is our friend! A brine breaks down the strands of protein in the meat over time which makes it incredibly tender. It also increases flavor absorption and moisture retention. There are two ways to brine a turkey: with a wet brine or a dry brine.
