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, […]
Unstuffed Cabbage Soup
I had never cooked with whole, fresh cabbage before, and honestly my childhood experiences with cabbage made me want to run the other way. My grandma would make stuffed cabbage rolls on occasion and I distinctly remember how awful it smell as it cooked for what seemed like hours. I think my grandma would be […]
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 […]
Beef Stir Fry
Stir fry (done right) is one of the healthiest, easiest meals anyone could make. There are no “rules” just a general destination in mind. You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand–broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, onions, meat or no meat at all. The options are endless! From the moment I […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Jambalaya
As Kevin and I were out shopping Monday and he saw a box of Jambalaya. He goes through these craving moments that pass quickly, but I thought he was on to something. I wasn’t about to pay for some sodium laden box of Jambalaya mix so I decided to make my own. I came up […]
