I know hot soup may seem characteristically out of place, especially since Im posting it on the unofficial first day of summer. But, at my work place its a perpetually cold 65 degrees every single da...
During the hot summer months all I ever want to eat is lemon raspberry slushies. Theres something about that sweet tart flavor that I find ultra refreshing. Lemon raspberry muffins are also pretty ta...
I dont know why Sylvester always said "sufferin succotash!" because I sure dont feel like Im suffering when Im eating it! Succotash may have started out as an inexpensive meal in the depressi...
I LOVE quesadillas. Crispy on the outside, all warm and melty on the inside... Oh so good. While I dont think I can top my favorite black bean quesadillas, these mediterranean quesadillas are an exce...
WARNING: Comfort food ahead! This dish contains pasta, beef, and cheese. Its hearty and delicious. Proceed at your own risk! ;) Say you grew up on Hamburger Helper (no shame), but now that youre an a...
What makes something delicious? Its not just flavor. Its flavor, texture, visual appeal, aroma... all of these things together. Sometimes simply changing the texture of an item can change the whole e...
I love kebabs. Theyre fresh, filling, and super easy. ...and to me they say "SUMMER!" The cost per serving for this recipe is almost double than most my recipes, but when I stop to think abou...
This pasta salad is super easy to throw together and is surprisingly filling! I was also really happy with how creamy and delicious it was, despite the fact that I used part-skim ricotta. It looks an...
I may have stumbled upon the most refreshing drink on the planet. ...well, one of the most refreshing drinks, anyway. If youve never heard of a lassi, its a drink made with yogurt, spices, and someti...
These might be the easiest pork chops Ive ever made. ...and the most tender. ...and maybe they might be tied with the Glazed Pork Chops for best tasting. This orange molasses marinade was a total exp...
Thats "keen-wah tab-ooh-lay". Dont let the name scare you away from this simple salad. Im obsessed with tabbouleh and have been since the first time I had it. Its full of texture and tons of ...
I love lasagna, but I rarely, rarely ever make it. Why? Because it just seems like so much work. Youve got to cook the ingredients, put them together, and then cook them again! Nah, thats too much wo...
Its crisp, its crunchy, it has an amazing, tangy, homemade dressing, and it goes perfectly along side your lentil tacos ;D Honestly, this recipe started out with me craving a crunchy salad, but it en...
Pink slime got you down? Maybe youre already a vegetarian? Or maybe you just dont like paying $4/lb. for ground beef? Well, if you dont already know, lentils make a fantastic substitute (or extender)...
Do you have a hard time getting your kids/spouse/significan other out of bed in the morning? Just pop a batch of this in the oven and problem solved! About 20 minutes into baking this your house will...
As much as I love eggs, I never make egg salad. I guess it just always seemed a little too heavy, ooey, and gooey. This egg salad, on the other hand, is light, fresh, and summery! The combination of ...
So, I was sitting on my porch yesterday when my neighbor wandered up looking rather forlorn and wistful. "Whats wrong?" I asked. "Im hungry and too tired to go pick up food or make anythi...
Who doesnt love pesto, right? Its rich, flavorful, and it can turn something completely boring (like pasta) into something spectacular. The only problem is that its full of expensive ingredients (fre...
If I havent convinced you yet to try no-knead bread, perhaps this post will. These perfect little rolls are so good that Ive had to stash them in my freezer just so that I wont eat them all up. Sure,...
Inspired by this recipe that showed up in my mail box last week, I decided to pair two of my favorites, kale and chorizo, into one easy breakfast strata! I also bought my first cast iron skillet this...
WARNING: This recipe is completely indulgent. Procede at your own risk. ;D So, I saw this recipe for Baked Chili Cheese Fries over at BakedBree.com, and I knew I had to make some. They were every bit...
So, I got a really excellent deal on chicken thighs this week - $0.99 / lb. Ironically, the regular 2 lb. package was the same price as the large, 5 lb. "value pack." No sale or anything! Som...
I dont know about you, but I can never seem to use up a whole head of cabbage. Even if I buy the smallest cabbage that I can find (as I did for the chicken yakisoba), it seems to multiply in volume b...
Let me first say that Im sure this is not authentic yakisoba. Ive never eaten yakisoba on the streets of Japan, but I have seen Mark Bittman make this yakisoba on his show, The Minimalist, and I knew...
Ive gotten a little behind in posting my complete meals, so here is one that I made a few weeks ago. I love this meal because it has only a few ingredients yet is incredibly flavorful! Both the pork ...
Another giveaway so soon? Sure! Why not? After all, I want to share one of my new favorite cookbooks with you! So heres the back story: Ive never been all that into Martha Stewart until last year whe...
One of my all-time favorite, easy side dishes is coconut jasmine rice. So, I started thinking that if cooking rice in coconut milk was so good, maybe cooking lentils in coconut milk would be too? It ...
I fell in love with a new blog last week, its called US Masala. Lots of delicious looking Indian dishes with gorgeous photos. Because I adore creamed spinach AND Indian spices, I immediately wanted t...
When someone suggested that I make soda bread for St. Pattys day, I have to admit, I cringed a little. I tried soda bread once, maybe twice, about ten years ago and it was a complete disaster. It was...
I never really understood why people say that chocolate is better than sex. Chocolate? Chocolate?! No maam. If any food is even going to come close, its gonna be this sriracha hummus. Okay, so maybe ...
