Man oh man. This was an amazing dinner. So many surprising and delicious elements – and so fast. I pulled this one (literally) from the pages of Real Simple during my winter plague. I never really believe the “30 minute meals” call out – especially for the first time you make something. So, it was…
I get a lot of magazines. Like more than a dozen. And perhaps more than that. I really like getting mail. But sometimes I just can’t keep up with all the mail and it piles up big time. Normally, I will just grab an issue or two for the commute but thanks to a terrible…
This almost sounds like a joke. I was in a slightly rough spot this week when I found myself with an excess of fresh dill. I honestly never thought that would be something I would say. See dill is just “fine” but it’s not a fresh herb that I look to stock up on or…
One of my all-time favorite “just got home from work and I’m starving” meals is just meatballs. Not meatballs with sauce. Not meatballs with pasta. Just meatballs in a dish with a little parmesan and a dash of soy sauce. I’m not even kidding. I normally have a batch of meatballs in the freezer just…
It’s been about a lifetime since I made a quiche – or so it feels. Each time I’m always pleasantly surprised at how easy these gems come together. Quiche is pretty much impossible to mess up. You can seemingly put anything you want in as well …. which helps to reduce kitchen waste. While those…
I might be turning into a broken record here… but I’m still going to say it. When I think about picking recipes to cook over the weekend, I think about what has the potential to taste good three days later. This absolutely limits what I end up cooking. Breaded chicken or fish? Sorry, that won’t…
While I was always in a quest for good leftover meals, this challenge means even more to me now. I love things that are seemingly well balanced meals and re-heat in 90 seconds. I don’t get home until after 7:30 and there is no sense in even imagining a world where I’m cooking a meal…
I’d like to introduce you to a wonderful scone variety – unfortunately, he’s appropriate for about as long as the Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes are. Meet the Gingerbread scone. While he would taste the same all year long, he tastes best probably November to New Years Eve. Maybe one weekend into the month of…
If there were 3 things that made living in the burbs best, they would be: more farms, more people willing to eat my cooking, and more ocean. All three are rather important to me – and I managed to do all of them this past weekend. Jackpot. I spent the weekend going to various…
With the move behind us, I was excited and maybe a little anxious to get in the kitchen and make my first meal. Technically my first meals were frozen pizzas, takeout chicken fingers, and the inaugural box of Kraft Mac and Cheese… but let’s not split hairs. I’ve always wanted to cook seasonally and try…
