Does this ever happen to you? You read or see a recipe that just somehow connects to you on a spiritual gastroenterological level & for days YOU CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. That happened to me, our sitter Amy was telling me how she had whipped up a macaroni & cheese dish with brussel sprouts [...]

If you’re anything like me when you get a new magazine you dog-ear pages with recipes or projects that look good. In fact when I’m done my magazine won’t even lay flat because of all the folds I’ve made. How often I actually ever go back & try one of those articles is a completely [...]

I used How Sweet It Is’ recipe for the crock pot base but as much I desperately wanted to make biscuits from scratch it just wasn’t.gonna.happen. And you know what, I’m sure there’s something to be said for making them yourself but the can-o-biscuit-dough was pretty darn good if I say so & yes, I [...]

I was at a playdate with my girlfriends the other day & we were talking about how we all get sucked in to making ‘kid food’ at dinner. It’s such a slippery slope, make chicken nuggets or mac n cheese for your kids because they won’t eat what the adults are having & beware, you [...]

Mmm, nothing says January like a big bowl of hot chili. I’ve been working on my signature chili recipe for years. I remember I first started when my BFF Brooke made a giant pot of amazing chili in our college apartment. I don’t know if it was because Chick-fil-a was closed after an all night [...]

Can you believe this… Is from this? Yep. I always wonder about those meal in a bag gimmicks, I mean how good could they actually be? Well this was actually pretty darn good. Now don’t go setting your expectations too high. It’s still basically a frozen dinner but I’d totally recommend keeping a few of [...]

Do you ever just try and throw ingredients together & “make up” dinner? It’s one of my favorite things to do but I find the results are either ‘rock n roll’ or major ‘crash n burn’. My family is a trooper though & they eat it regardless. Although this could be because I give them [...]

This is what Giada calls a ‘sauceless pasta’. Upon hearing that phrase I almost immediately said, ‘no thanks lady’ & flipped the page, but then I was intrigued. How could a pasta without sauce be anything beyond a pasta princess’ nightmare?? So I gave it a skim…apparently we here in the states have been doing [...]

Mmmmm, now I’m hungry. Season your small turkey patties with garlic powder, salt, pepper & worcestershire. (I always over-season ground turkey because it tends to be bland from the low-fat content) Grill them in a hot oiled skillet for about 2-3 min each side. Top with a tomato slice, crisp bacon & the avocado spread. [...]
