In a last ditch effort to save a batch of pizza dough, I decided to work with smaller amounts of the dough and create pizza bites! Everyone loves a hands-on dinner, and my husband and I were no different. Kevin especially loved these little buggers. Your family (and friends) will love you for making these […]
Jerk Chicken Soup Recipe
When I saw Rachael Ray making Jerk Chicken Soup on her daytime tv show, I knew that was “what’s for dinner tonight.” You see, Kevin and I have a soft spot for anything “jerk.” Before our cross cultural studies trip to Jamaica in 2006, we couldn’t have told you what that even meant. I thought […]
Fresh Salsa Soup Recipe
With a fridge full of fresh ingredients that desperately needed to be used, a chilly fall afternoon, and a husband who wouldn’t be around for dinnertime, I knew soup was the perfect solution. I chopped and diced everything in sight and came up with a hearty, brothy, spicy, delicious soup that Kevin and I loved. […]
Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe
With the most delicious Chicken Barbecue shredded and packaged in small portions in the freezer, I knew Barbecue Chicken Pizza was the Friday night pizza of choice! If you ever have leftover cooked chicken. I recommend shredded it or cutting it up and freezing it for use in other dishes. It makes life so deliciously […]
Hearty Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe
After the weather turned suddenly autumnal, Kevin and I were in the mood for soup. It was a dark, dreary, rainy evening and nothing sounded more perfect. It had been too long since I made a pot of soup, and I’m so glad I rectified that. Something good came of that rainy day. :) This […]
Rhubarb Sauce Recipe
I am a bit new to the rhubarb thing. I hadn’t even heard of this vegetable/fruit/anomaly until Kevin’s family introduced me to Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. It was delicious, but I still wasn’t sure what part the rhubarb played in the pie. It seemed like a strange filler to me. Thankfully, when we were given 15+ stalks […]
Creamy Spicy Macaroni
This pasta dish was created on a whim and in a flurry before my husband arrived home. I was inspired by the abundance of peppers in my fridge, and, knowing my husband’s love of pasta, I set to work. This dish takes a few more pots and pans than I normally like to work with, […]
Mac & Cheese Success
Just wanted to share some exciting news–my Macaroni and Muenster Cheese recipe was featured on Pattitude’s blog in a Mac & Cheese Link party. I am so honored! Patti tells me she followed the recipe to a T, and both she and her husband loved the result. So go check out the link party recipes […]
Yellow Summer Squash and Corn Soup
When I saw Love and Olive Oil’s post about this delightful summer vegetable soup, I was hooked. I had all of the ingredients ready and waiting in my fridge. I could hardly wait until the next evening to prep this lovely (not to mention totally healthy!) soup for dinner. This was fast and SO, so easy to […]
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 […]
