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 new obsession with Half Baked Harvest lives on- this time with a family favorite recipe that even the pickiest eaters will adore!!! I love discovering a new cooking blog and then getting lost in all the new recipe possibilities. That’s what happened here with HBH and I stumbled upon some amazing looking tacos that … More Chipotle Barbecue Chicken Tacos
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
One of Greg’s favorite meals when we go out is ordering seared ahi. Since Covid- and a dramatic decrease in us eating out- I’ve had to figure out how to recreate some of our favorites at home. Any ahi recipe always starts with a trip to Whole Foods. I have always found their fish to … More Seared Ahi (and all the fixings!)
Literally, I have no words for this beautiful concoction that is bacon jam. How have I lived 40 years of my life- and thousands of burgers consumed- without this cacophony of perfect tastes melding together? It’s a sad state of affairs…but it’s one that I will remedy from this point forward. Hear me out: no … More Burgers with Bacon Jam
This is a restaurant quality meal. No joke, when I bit into these cheesy, tangy, perfectly spiced enchiladas I instantly had restaurant flashbacks (remember restaurants???) My food-photography skills do not do these enchiladas justice, so you just have to believe me that they were that good! These enchiladas are courtesy of What’s Gaby Cooking and … More Chicken Enchiladas Verdes
As the weather starts to warm up- a few days here and there- I have been craving some summer staples…cold beer, chips and guacamole, and tacos. I mean, tacos are the perfect summer meal. Simple to make, easy to eat…perfection. I was scrolling through my new best friend, Gaby’s, website (What’s Gaby Cooking) and found … More Grilled Fish Tacos
Gaby strikes again! After discovering my love of What’s Gaby Cooking’s Basil Vinaigrette, I scoured her website looking for more ways to use this amazing sauce. It didn’t take me long to find her recipe for a three cheese, two sauce pizza…and I was ready to go! This pizza was so easy to assemble and … More Three Cheese Pizza
I know I have posted macaroni and cheese recipes in the past- and I don’t want you to think that I don’t still love them. Chrissy Teigen- your mac’n’cheese will always hold a place in my heart…but your recipe is intense. It takes a lot of time. Sometimes I just want an easy-peasy recipe that … More Easy Mac and Cheese
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
