It feels a bit like a stretch to call this a chili honestly – but it is quite good. It is also wildly easy and that is why I’ll probably make this again and again. We were expecting some snow earlier this week. I found this recipe on SkinnyTaste and was drawn to the fact…
To be clear, I still love bacon and eat meat – but I’m trying to improve my diet. Normally I would have made a traditional bolognese like this one but was inspired to make a vegetarian version. And that is the reason why I bought tofu for the first time in my life. I…
Feel free to file this recipe under “wonderful for Sunday meal prep”. It was a total home run and could not have been easier to pull together. I had all of these ingredients on hand which made it even better. This recipe was made even easier by the use of my very handy cookie scooper.…
How many posts in a row can I reference quarantine cooking? The answer is probably a lot – and probably more for the next two months or so. As we prepared to eat more out of our houses and with less trips to the grocery store, I impulse bought a couple cans of tuna fish…
Here is another dish to sneak some veggies into your diet… also who doesn’t love mac and cheese? I was hosting a small gathering for Halloween. Halloween is a big holiday in my neighborhood. Houses don’t go crazy with decorations but there are endless amounts of kids running around. I buy my candy in bulk…
I am 100% over eating caprese salads with burrata. I go real hard on them in July and August… so when tomato season really kicks into gear I’m just tired. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying more burrata at Trader Joe’s one day. I was feeling ambitious and also like “I still have so…
This weekend I very intentionally flipped through several of my recipe books to find a new recipe to make. After a couple books, I found things that I would want to make some day but not right now. While I don’t have a million cookbooks, I certainly have enough that it would be great to…
Woah. I had no idea that these little bitty eggplants could be so delicious. I think I have always turned away from eggplant parmesan because of the eggplant. In hindsight that is truly ridiculous because nothing can be terrible when you cover it in cheese. When I was planning my garden this year, I really…
So candidly this original recipe called for short ribs… but I’m on a budget. Short ribs feel like an expensive cut of meat. Now, I’ll be honest if I was having a special guest over for dinner I might pull the trigger on a trip to Whole Foods for short ribs – but I’m less…
Yikes, it’s been a small lifetime since I last popped in here. I thought I had been cooking, but I guess I’ve just been eating a lot of basic things. Basic isn’t bad but it’s always nice to get a little adventurous. I’m always prone to be adventurous on a theme day. When I realized…
