With homemade pico de gallo needing to be used and a hankering for pasta, I brainstormed this funky, fresh idea for dinner. (I probably shouldn’t use “hankering” and “pasta” in the same sentence. Maybe it’s in honor of my West-Virginian-Italian relatives…) With a few fresh ingredients I had on hand thanks to the bounty of summer […]
Salsa Soup
I came up with this recipe on a whim. After church on Sunday, we were trying to figure out what to eat. I wanted something serving-worthy as my mom was here for the weekend, and I wanted something warm and comforting as it was 45 degrees outside. I decided to make a pot of soup. […]
Chicken Fajitas
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 […]
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 […]
Faux Onion Rings with Smoky Mayo
The moment I saw Rocco DiSpirito in Rachael Ray’s kitchen cooking up these onion rings, I knew they were a must! Just three days later I put the recipe to test. Kevin is a HUGE fan of onion rings, while I have a fairly non-committal relationship with the fried side dish. I prefer french fries. […]

Onion Pepper Bread
This was the softest loaf of bread I have ever made. And it was absolutely scrumptious–assuming you like the spicy bite of onion, garlic and pepper. Kevin and Ben really loved this intense white bread–it disappeared quite quickly. Ingredients for 1 pound loaf 1 cup chopped onion (I used more like 1/4 to 1/2 cup […]
