The Steak That Wasn’t & Gingered Snow Peas and Carrots

March 12, 2011

How in the world do you mess up steak? It really can’t be done unless you over cook it, right? Well, that’s what I thought until the other night. You see, I made what was destined to be a simple yet delicious asian type marinade for this beautiful steak. A little soy sauce, a little [...]

The Family Dinner and a Whole Roasted Chicken

February 15, 2011

I think there’s a lot to be said about the importance of the family meal. I grew up in a household that ate together every single night. If someone was going to be late getting home, then we waited. Each and every night we ate together. Now, in my adult life I place a huge [...]

Double Bacon Cheddar Burgers… That’s right, I said DOUBLE!

January 26, 2011

Attention! Anyone with high cholesterol, a history of a previous heart attack, doctors, vegetarians or those on a diet… Avert thine eyes! Do not proceed! Look here instead or even here.  Right now, it’s all about the meat, mostly bacon and lots of it. I am a firm believer (like many others) that bacon truly makes [...]

Quinoa… “Qua?” “Keen-What?”… “Keen-Wah!”

January 15, 2011

It’s that time of the year. The time of the year when we’re all still meticulously sticking to our New Year’s health, exercise and diet resolutions. The time of the year when we (hopefully) have not yet plummeted head first into a vat of Ben & Jerry’s.  It has taken great personal strength for me [...]

As you all know by now, I live in the land of picky eaters. Sometimes it’s hard here considering I have a pretty adventurous palate and I’m open to trying just about anything. The more new things I get to experience, the better!! The members of my household do not agree. However, occasionally I do [...]

Spicy Southwest Kielbasa

December 22, 2010

So as you all know by now, quick and easy one-dish meals are the name of the game a lot of the time in my house. With busy lives, that’s just sometimes the way to go. (And with no dishwasher, fewer dishes are always appreciated!) So here we have a one dish wonder that combines [...]

Chorizo-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin… My Nemesis

November 23, 2010

What a thorn in my side (however, a delicious thorn!) this recipe was. I say this because I had been working on this recipe and tweaking it for about a week. Saturday I decided was finally the day to give it a go. I gathered all the ingredients (ahem… I mean, Mike so kindly went [...]

Spicy Orecchiette with Broccoli & Sausage

November 20, 2010

Mmmm… Pasta! Pasta, glorious pasta!! I do indeed love it and if it wasn’t for the detrimental effect of carbohydrates on my waistline, I think I could eat it every single day. This may sound like an exaggeration however, I truly think I could! There are a few foods I think I could eat daily, [...]

Spice Rubbed Salmon

November 19, 2010

These days quick, easy dinners are the name of the game a lot of the time… With a 1-year-old demanding my every ounce of attention, a house to maintain, a job I work once a week yet that’s just enough to prevent me from ever catching up on things around here, an 80-pound dog that [...]

Mushroom, Spinach, Feta Frittata

November 18, 2010

I find breakfast to be a frustrating meal. I’m a big fan of breakfast yet in the morning I don’t always have the time to cook with the baby, (Awww… Cute morning time Maddy) real life and the hustle and bustle of the morning. So I stand in front of my cabinets and refrigerator, opening [...]

Yesterday was one of those days… I [...]

Chicken with Roasted Vegetables & Wild Rice

This is a great fall dish for a weeknight dinner or it’s nice enough to serve for company. Either way, it’s delicious! Chicken breasts nestled in together with sweet potatoes, crisp celery, parsnips, carrots and sweet onions. Roasting them all together couldn’t be easier. Then mix those sensationally seasoned veggies with some wild rice and [...]

HRCT?? Check it out and see…

November 11, 2010

I remember my very favorite thing that my mother would make when I was growing up… Nothing fancy, just a little bit of comfort food that still to this day brings warm memories of her. Not that she’s gone anywhere except now we’re a few states away. But how the tables have turned because now [...]

Veggie Pizza

November 10, 2010

Pizza has got to be one of my favorite foods! I think it’s one of the world’s perfect foods… crispy, chewy, saucy, cheesy. Then I get to add whatever else I want on top?? Bliss. Pizza is a great food to really let the creative juices flow. However, the other night I was looking for simple, [...]
