Sometimes I find meat in the back crevices of the freezer and I am embarrassed to admit how long it’s been stored. I’m some sort of a weird combination of bargain-hunter and food-hoarder. I find great deals, but then don’t want to actually use it up. Ridiculous, right? Anyways, I found these lovely strip steaks, […]
Creamy Broccoli, Chicken, and Penne Casserole Recipe
I was in need of a meal I could prepare in advance and have ready for our dinner at the end of my piano teaching hours. It was too late to start a crockpot meal. I don’t normally go for casseroles, but when these ingredients popped into my brain, I knew I had a winner. […]
Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo
I love being able to whisk together a creamy alfredo sauce in no time. Once you’ve mastered the skill of making a roux (combining equal parts flour and butter, whisking in liquid until thickened), you have got a serious skill under your belt. This dish was exactly what Kevin and I love about home cooked […]
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Growing up Tuna Noodle Casserole was a regular on the weekly dinner menu. It wasn’t at the bottom of my list of favorite meals (that would be Goulash), but it certainly wasn’t anywhere near the top 10 (which would include chili, pork chops & potatoes, taco salad, round steak casserole, etc.) I’m not sure if […]
Lemon Chicken
Annie has done it again. This woman is seriously on my same path of thought and inspiration. As soon as I opened her recipe blog yesterday I knew I had just discovered my evening meal plan. This lemon chicken is Oh! so easy. And amazingly delicious. I, too, paired the chicken with rice and broccoli. […]
Vegetable Chili
This could also be called: “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” Chili. (Or as Kevin says, “Stuff In A Pot.”) No seriously. It all began when I looked in the fridge and saw the fresh broccoli. I didn’t want it to go bad. I wanted to use it. And I wanted soup. But something fattening like […]

Cheesy Potatoes and Broccoli
This dish could easily serve four people as a side dish or overly fill two people’s plates for a main course. Kevin requested some sort of cheese and potatoes combination for dinner. I decided to get creative. The results were perfect. Exactly what I was tasting in my head. Ingredients 1-2 Tbsp butter or margarine […]
Baked Potato & Broccoli Soup
On Tuesday when I was feeling like crap thanks to a bout with some strain of influenza, my stomach was being really finicky, but I decided that some form of soup would be a perfect dinner. I found this recipe at Annie’s Eats and boy am I ever glad I did! It was absolutely perfectly creamy and […]
