Gardener Goals

June 1, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

I've always had a fascination for gardening but don't possess the skills to keep plants alive. I watched my parents successfully grow tomatoes, jalapeños, bell peppers, and herbs in their garden and I've kept a wish list of produce I wanted to grow

Chardonnay Day!

May 24, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

With National Chardonnay Day on the horizon (May 26th) I wanted to divulge my favorite way to sip. Truthfully, I'm a Sauvignon Blanc devotee first and foremost. The few encounters I had with Chardonnay were very heavy and oaky and although not

Asparagus Arancini

May 19, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

Spring time is upon us, although it's been rather chilly in Chicago, spring blooms have me looking forward to warm weather and storing away my winter wardrobe (finally)! I don't know about you but warmer weather inspires me to entertain and cook

Taking in Spring

April 25, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

Sometimes I see something that stops me in my tracks and puts life into perspective. This weekend it happened to have been two things. As some of you know my husband and I bought our first house together last summer prior to getting married, which

Classic Chicken Pot Pie

March 15, 2016 by lindsaylcallaway |

Happy Pi Day! I love an excuse to create meals around a theme and Pi Day, is one of them. Although math isn't my strongest skill, my husband impressively rattled off about 12 digits following 3.14, so that's worthy of pie! Since its cold and rainy

Taste Test Tuesday: the viral dumplings I’ve been Taste Test Tuesday: the viral dumplings I’ve been seeing everywhere! This specific method and recipe is inspired by @everydayisfeastday who is a great chef follow btw!

Another inspiration and chef follow for these was @rappingchef who made a lasagna version which I will definitely try!

I had a lot of filling leftover from this one batch I made so I tried different ways to fold the wonton wrapper and I do prefer the traditional potsticker method but these were fun to try!

Have you tried these?!
This will be your spring snack on repeat-promise! This will be your spring snack on repeat-promise! 

The freshness of this combo with the crunch of the almonds is 👩🏻‍🍳💋

Taste Test Tuesday: @pretzelized pretzel pita chip Taste Test Tuesday: @pretzelized pretzel pita chips and two dips from @traderjoes 🥨

This time of year I like to keep things on hand for spur the moment entertaining as outside play dates tend to linger longer with warm weather and longer sunshine. It’s also nice to keep fun snacks on hand for a patio happy hour, no guests required. 😏

The combo of the pretzel pita chips and dips were delish and will easily take space in my fridge and pantry this season!

Hot take: scones aren’t dry…you’ve just been eatin Hot take: scones aren’t dry…you’ve just been eating the wrong ones. 👀

Scones get an unfair reputation in my opinion. When done correctly, they are delightfully tender and moist. I think we’ve all had a bone-dry scone at least once in our life—the ones that make us decide we’re not doing that again! These are definitely not those. ✨

If you enjoy a lemon poppyseed muffin I implore you to try these scones! There’s a secret ingredient that transcends the flavor of these, I hope you agree! 🤫

Cut them however you like-big or small. Just adjust the bake time accordingly. Sprinkle with crusty sugar or not. You can dip into a glaze or do a drizzle. But I wouldn’t skip the glaze. The tart lemon juice adds a freshness you’d miss, trust me! Spilling the details 👇🏻 

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbl baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbl poppyseeds
6 tbl cold butter, cut into cubes
Zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup + 2 tbl heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
1 tsp vanilla paste or powder
1/4 tsp almond extract
Optional: turbinado sugar to sprinkle on top

Glaze:
Powdered sugar
Vanilla bean powder or paste 
Lemon juice

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425. 
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and fold in the butter using a fork or a pastry cutter until fine crumbs. (I like to get in there with my hands towards the end.)
Add the lemon zest, heavy cream, vanilla and almond extract and mix just until combined. 
Dump onto the counter and knead the dough until it comes together in a disk. 
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and cut into small or large triangles. 
Brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. 
*I normally separate them to bake and prefer this. I left as a disk for this reel and it took about 5 extra minutes to bake. 
Bake for 13-17 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool. 

I eyeballed the glaze until I liked the consistency. I didn’t want it too thick but not too thin either. I used the juice of about half the lemon I zested and maybe 1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla bean powder. 

Enjoy! 🍋

Spent some alone time walking around @surlatable a Spent some alone time walking around @surlatable and @anthropologie 🫶 Is there a better form of self care than that?! 

Saw some absolute gems but didn’t snag anything today. 

Also thrilled I saw @ilovepopsmith in the wild! So fun!
