I don’t post many breakfast recipes. Probably because I’m not much of a morning person, and the idea of cooking the second I get up doesn’t usually strike my fancy. A typical morning meal for me is a smoothie bowl or something quick out of the toaster. Weekend mornings are actually when my husband gets to take…… Continue reading Everything Bagel Breakfast Bake
Every now and again, I have to give you something simple and classic. I share some creative recipes, but let’s be real. I don’t cook like that every night, it would be exhausting. So today I’m sharing my original go-to. Chicken Parmesan is one of those recipes that everyone should have under their belt. It’s…… Continue reading Chicken Parmesan Perfection
I’m settling in at my childhood home throughout the holiday season, living (as I call it) Full House style. We’ve got 4 adults, 2 kids and 3 dogs under one roof! It’s fun, crazy and there’s always something going on. I was really excited to get to cook for my family. I’ve tried out some…… Continue reading Rosemary Chicken Flatbread
It’s been a crazy few weeks. Since my husband is deployed, I decided to hit the road and drive myself and my dog home for the holidays. I drove 5 days with a couple friends from California to Massachusetts. I’ve done this trip a few times already, it’s a lot of fun with company but…… Continue reading Leftover Turkey Soup
I’ve been doing a lot of posts about the number three… three ways to make grilled cheese, three marinades for shrimp skewers… I really like the number three. Today we’re getting back to a nice straight forward recipe. But guess what? There are three components! Today it’s crab cakes with mango apple salsa and a…… Continue reading Crab Cakes with Mango Apple Salsa
I thought today we could have a nice little chat about one of the most perfect meals ever created. From the pickiest of eaters to the most refined of palates, everyone loves a good grilled cheese sandwich. If you tell me you don’t like it, I’m going to call you a liar. Like many people,…… Continue reading The Picky Gourmet Guide to Grilled Cheese
It’s September already? I always mixed emotions because on one hand it’s my birthday month, but on the other hand, summer is coming to end. Before it does, we have Labor Day weekend… AKA one more excuse to grill out. One of my favorite things to grill is shrimp. I always show up to barbecues…… Continue reading End of Summer Shrimp Skewers
It’s been a busy and stressful week. I’ve been trying to go through the motions to change over to my married name, which has been such a pain. I’m also elbow deep in wedding thank you cards and basically getting life in order in preparation for my husband’s next deployment. Long story short, I was feeling a…… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I don’t eat red meat. I haven’t since I was probably about 4 or 5 years old. So needless to say, I eat a lot of chicken. The struggle with chicken (especially your standard boneless, skinless breast) is that you don’t want to undercook it, but in a matter of a minute or two, they…… Continue reading Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Chicken
It’s been a little while since my last post! Summer is in full swing which is great, but it’s a little bittersweet. My husband is getting ready to deploy overseas again in the near future, hence my lack of posts. I’ve been trying to focus on spending time with him and some of our friends who…… Continue reading Homemade Pasta with Chicken & Summer Vegetables
