Pasta is my love language. Or cheese. Or wine. Ok, I can’t really decide what my love language is, but pasta is certainly up there! A good (easy) pasta recipe is a perfect way to bring the family together at the end of the night and I couldn’t think of a better one than Half … More Cherry Tomato Pasta Alla Vodka
My obsession with Half Baked Harvest continues with another amazing recipe! My friend Jill had us over for dinner the other night, and I was on appetizer duty. I was bored of the simple cheese platter, and my other appetizers seemed to fall-flat, so I was on the search for something amazing. (Note: Jill is … More Antipasto Skewers
I am a lazy cook in the summer. Greg often jokes that on weekends and during the summer I starve my family out. During the school year I kick-ass on preparing three meals a day. During the summer they are lucky if it is one solid meal a day. I think it’s good for them … More Pesto Pasta Salad
A few weeks ago I discovered the blog, What’s Gaby Cooking, (hello tangerine margaritas!) and I have looked forward to spending some time searching through her recipes. I was immediately drawn to the recipe for her Basil Vinaigrette and how she uses it in so many ways- and the first recipe I wanted to try … More Basil Vinaigrette Pasta

Happy Friday! It’s now the official start of Thanksgiving break and it is so needed this year! I am so looking forward to a week without Zoom meetings, a week to enjoy the new house, and a week of eating incredible food! Speaking of incredible food- I know I have blogged about Chrissy Teigen’s mac’n’cheese … More TGIF- fun finds
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
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
Disclaimer: anything that begins with “lemon-pistachio” is always going to catch my attention straight away! Once again, I dove into my new cookbook, My Paris Kitchen, this weekend to look for something tasty to try. When my eyes fell upon the Lemon-Pistachio Israeli Couscous, I knew it had to be made. Two of my favorite … More Lemon-Pistachio Israeli Couscous
A few weeks ago we all went to a new Italian restaurant/market for dinner. The food was incredible- homemade pasta galore- and Tay was fascinated by all the fresh pasta they had for purchase in the market. While she wanted to buy it all, I told her instead of buying it we would try our … More Homemade Pasta
