I was looking for a tasty way to use up the rest of the Ricotta cheese from my homemade ravioli and the first place I looked was on Rachael Ray’s show recipe archives. I rarely follow her recipes to the T–but I’m pretty sure that’s how she would want it. Free Style Cooking. It’s the […]
Three Cheese Ravioli
For my dad’s birthday I promised him a homemade dinner and dessert of his choice. I knew he would choose Apple Pie for the sweet ending of the meal, and I was wanting to make homemade pasta for the main course. But in what form? When I saw Aldi carry Ricotta cheese as a specialty […]
Spicy Ranch Patty Melts
Yesterday was a long hard day. I didn’t really want to spend an hour and a half in the kitchen making dinner but I am SO GLAD I did. This was on the menu plan and I was craving a good burger and fries (minus the grease and grossness). Because I had no hamburger buns […]
Spicy Fiesta Soup.
I wanted a hearty soup. I wanted spice. zip. intensity. I wanted Spicy* Fiesta** soup***. *Spicy because it is. **Fiesta because of the fun colors of the peppers and it’s Mexican flair. ***Soup because it has a broth base not a tomato base. Yes, I had this ideal picture in my mind as I looked […]

Chicken Enchiladas
Chicken Enchiladas has always been on Kevin’s “top 10 favorite meals of all time” list. I’ve tried this Mexican dish only one other time and it was tasty–but quite a bit of work and I wasn’t perfectly pleased with the results. When I saw Annie post an all new chicken enchilada recipe and I had […]

Italian Vegetable Stoup
I had a thick, hot, soul warming soup in mind as the snow fell to the ground. I pictured a cross between a chili (minus the meat), minestrone, and vegetable soup. I believe this was exactly what I was looking for. Kevin and I agreed it needs to be more spicy, more depth of flavor, […]
