I hope you all had a restful and meaningful Memorial Day Weekend! I was going to have this incredible post about our awesome camping experience in Lake Arrowhead this weekend – but, let’s just say this isn’t that post. We had a little change of plans along the way…. Both Greg and I had heard … More Memorial Day (change of plans)
Remember how I said there are two types of people in the world – those who think salad is a full dinner and those who don’t? Well, the same applies for soup. I LOVE SOUP!!! I haven’t always loved it, but in recent years I have a new found affinity for soup. I love serving … More Creamy Sweet Corn Soup
A good fish taco is hard to pass up. The fried fish, the crunchy cabbage, and – of course- the sauce! I find that the sauce is what makes the taco. If the creamy goodness isn’t, well, good, it can ruin the whole fish taco experience! I wanted to recreate my panko crusted fish sticks … More Baja Sauce (for fish tacos)
One of Greg’s most favorite things is mashed potatoes. I must admit – I have never used a recipe for mashed potatoes in the past. I’ve always just thrown together what was on hand and the results have always been mixed. I wish I was a good enough cook to always have stunning potatoes, but … More Bangers and Mash
Trying to keep my dinners new and fresh, I recently went back into some of my old cookbooks (that whole sentence was a bit of an oxymoron – right?) and discovered some recipes that I haven’t tried in awhile. Hence – Panko-Crusted Fish Sticks! When we were first married, I was a terrible, horrible, no-good … More Baked Fish & Chips
I am a huge lover of risotto, but making it at home has been hit or miss. I’ll never forgot making a butternut squash risotto for company once and forgetting to put in over 1/2 of the liquid. It was so hard – I felt terrible! But, our friends kept eating it and I wanted … More Risotto with Spring Veggies
I am always on the lookout for some good, original vegetarian food blogs and some amazing recipes. I find myself spending my lunch breaks (when I am not surrounded by teenagers!) randomly searching through the internet to see what fun, exciting things I can find. It’s calming to me…tell me I’m not the only one! … More Vegan(ish) Barbecue Bowls
One of my favorite easy lunch places is The Habit. As far as I know, this is a mostly Southern California – a few in the North- place that is amazing. They are known for their burgers, but their salads are super delicious as well. We headed over there for lunch recently and I found … More Barbecue Pizza
Being so close to Spring Break (1 week!) I’ve pretty much given up on life. I know I’m not alone…right?!?! I’m lacking creativity on dinners and quite frankly I’d be fine with eating cereal every night- if it weren’t for the family. I used to love eating chicken wrap sandwiches back when I ate all … More Dinner (or lunch) on the Fly
Lasagna is one of those things that I feel is very personal to each family. These recipes have been passed down from generation to generation (or it is simply a box of Stouffer’s straight from the freezer!) and each recipe differs in such vastly different ways! Now, every family feels like their recipe for lasagna … More Vegetarian Lasagna – for the picky eaters
