I should have more pictures of this little bite of happiness. I should have step by step directions. I should have documented the process… but, in all honesty, you are lucky to get this one photo! These Whipped Feta Crostini from The Barefoot Contessa are one of my favorite things and I can’t stop eating … More Whipped Feta Crostini
Greg loves butternut squash ravioli. Every time I head to Trader Joe’s I always make sure to pick up a package (or two) of their premise ones because, for him, it’s the perfect dinner. Awhile back I was at Trader Joe’s and they were all out of this beloved pasta I panicked a little. What … More Butternut Squash Stuffed Shells
I’m not sure about you, but some says snack-time has become our unofficial fourth meal. By 3:30pm the stomachs are growling and we want something that is salty and filing and – quite frankly- goes really well with an afternoon beer! (Yes, we are in that stage of quarantine!) Chrissy Teigen’s soft pretzel recipe seemed … More Soft Pretzels & Cheesy Dipping Sauce
Ahhh- pantry staples! In this time of trying to go to the store less (and have less contact with humans!) I am looking for meals that use a lot of staples, peppered with fresh ingredients, that I don’t always have to be running to the store for. In my quest to rediscover some cookbooks of … More Lemon Spaghetti
I decided a good goal for this quarantine would be to cook my way through my cookbooks and I’ve decided to begin with my good friend, Chrissy. Ok- so we aren’t truly friends, and she doesn’t know I exist- but I feel like we could be good friends if we had the chance! I love … More Chrissy Teigen’s Mac and Cheese
I have a love affair going on…with a blog. In all fairness, there is a person who writes all the blog posts, so I guess you could say I’m in a love affair with The Smitten Kitchen (aka Deb)! Unfortunately it is a very one-sided thing as I am sure she has no idea who … More Pizza Beans
Another long, cold (the heater in my classroom doesn’t really work – I’m freezing every day!) week is finally done – and the weekend is beckoning! I am happy to announce that I have found the BEST at-home manicure/pedicure on the market! Sally Hansen Miracle Gel lasts so long, has amazing colors, and comes off … More TGIF- fun finds
Happy Friday! I am so thrilled it is finally February. This month is always one of my favorites- we have a four day weekend (President’s Day) and Tay’s birthday. Lots of celebrating going on here!! I finally have found the best dog backpack for our little dachshund! The Timbuktu MuttMover backpack is not only comfortable … More TGIF- fun finds
Oh Chrissy Teigen…how I adore you! I love my Brussels Sprouts and I was looking for a new way to make them. I usually do feta, pistachios, and balsamic on my roasted sprouts and I wanted to create something that was a bit fancier for a nice dinner or – possibly- a dish I could … More Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts
I love a good savory breakfast. Add some cheese and you’ve got a winner for sure! I was searching through Pinterest for some inspiration for a good post-workout, cold morning refuel and I came upon a new twist on waffles. A super savory, non-wheat amazing sounding CHEESY waffle! These waffles are so ridiculously easy and … More Egg, Cheese, and Potato Waffles
