It was a cold, rainy, dreary day. I needed soup in a bad way. After much deliberation I decided tomato soup was the solution. I hunted and hunted for recipes, but didn’t find the one to suit my needs. So, I did what I’ve become accustomed to doing–I made up my own recipe! This is […]
(Quick and Easy) Ricotta Tomato Penne
This is an amazingly quick (15 minutes!), surprisingly elegant, and super delicious dish. I came up with it as a dinner idea in a pinch last week. We didn’t have much time but I had some quality ingredients. Sometimes less is more. Nothing fancy. Just pasta. tomatoes. cheese. and of course garlic. It’s perfection in […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
