This is the type of meal I whip up on a regular basis–normally when I have no advanced plan for dinner and I throw random things in a skillet and see what inspires me. This is delicious and easy–and don’t be afraid to change things up to suit your pantry and palate needs. Serves 2-3 […]
Southwestern Stuffed Peppers
I love green peppers. If you don’t, I’d recommend passing on this recipe. Which is unfortunate, because it’s delicious. But nonetheless, it’s kind of heavy on the green pepper. Our farmer’s market is selling green peppers for a quarter each so I’ve been stocking up each time I shop. I figure I can slice them […]
Garlic and Lemon Tilapia
I’m not a huge a fan of fish. Which is either really ironic or really relieving given my maiden name. I only like shrimp or clams when they’re all battered and fried. But who doesn’t like anything battered and fried, I mean really? But Tilapia? Now that’s a fish I can sink my teeth into. […]
Homemade Sloppy Joes
on homemade hamburger buns. Now THAT’S a combination you can’t beat. Neither my husband nor I are huge Sloppy Joe fans. But I have come to realize that it’s because we’ve never had really good Sloppy Joes. THESE are really good Sloppy Joes. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it over at Ezra Pound Cake. They are […]
Sweet and Sour Chicken
I have been slightly uninspired lately when it comes to dinners. The dinner hour rolls around and I suddenly realize I hadn’t even begun to plan a meal. That is SO not like me. But thankfully there are thousands of fellow foodies out there who HAVE been inspired lately. And I came across this recipe […]
Pappa al Pomodoro
This Tuscan bread and tomato soup is amazing. Perfect on a cold, rainy day like today. Made with common ingredients kept in my pantry, it was not difficult to through together and the final result had my husband saying he’d marry me all over again. :) I found this recipe on Annie’s Eats, and she […]
Herb Roasted (Whole) Chicken
I consider myself a chicken connoisseur. It is my favorite form of savory protein. I love it in nearly every form. It’s useful in practically every dish. It’s just plain delicious. But this. THIS is THE best chicken I have EVER eaten. Seriously. Kevin and I were drooling over the bird. We may have dug […]
Spicy Italian Sausage Chili
I was heading up a big fundraising event for our youth group. The Church-wide Chili CookOff and Softball Night. Everyone was encouraged to bring their best pot of chili. And winner would go home with a $10 Applebee’s gift card! Though I had been planning and plotting this event for months, one thing never occurred […]
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. […]
Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Cheese Sauce
My refrigerator was overflowing with poblano peppers. Ok, not quite overflowing. I had four. And I had plans to use the in some scrumptious way. Originally, I was going to roast them. Mostly because that’s the typical first step in preparation of poblano peppers. Though I’m not sure why. I was browsing recipes for ideas […]
