Im not big on salads as a meal. A bowl of lettuce usually just doesnt do it for me. On the side- sure. But I want to eat. Not nibble on greens and pretend Im filled. But for this salad I make an exce...
Im bringing this favorite back again, updated with a new photo and addition of red onion. Now that Im no longer pregnant I can enjoy onions again so Im sneaking them into everything! Thin slivers of ...
A recipe! Life has been absolutely crazy since Clara joined our family (just over three weeks ago). It has been much harder than I expected, and yet awesome in so many ways. Between recovering from d...
Please excuse me if things get a little neglected around here, were slightly distracted by this tiny face.Clara Jade arrived just yesterday and now were a family of three!
Let me tell you the secret to a turkey burger that your husband (or boyfriend, son, etc.) will actually want to eat... its in the thigh. Forget ground turkey breast that can turn tough and rubbery. T...
I fell in love with this recipe long before I tasted it. Just a glance at its list of ingredients and I was infatuated. I had to have it. And as soon as the opportune day (of the dreary cold variety ...
Im sorry about all the sweets. I have the best of intentions to make some healthy savory dishes to share with you this week. (My last before baby girl is scheduled to arrive May 1st!) Ive made plans ...
In the midst of babys impending arrival and the drama of trying-to-find-an-apartment-in -Chicago-from-far-away, Im having a hard time focusing on writing about this recipe. But I wanted to share it wi...
This is so easy. Seriously. Im willing to go to great lengths to make my own bread, but in this case it wasnt necessary. I wish Id known homemade french bread could be so quick and simple. And taste ...
Another recipe I revisited over the weekend. This was my contribution to our unconventional Easter feast. We were staying with my parents and instead of the usual ham we had grilled vegetables, baked...
Since Im feeling drastically better (up and walking half normally), Ive been baking again. My appetite for all foods has improved, but I still have a pregnancy sharpened sweet tooth. So I chose these...
I love salads. But I hate when theyre ruined by a ridiculously sugary dressing. Salad is not meant to be dessert. Its meant to be healthy. And you dont need a cup-full of sugar to make it taste good....
Despite my difficulty getting around lately, Ive been determined to do two main things: buy stuff for the baby (accomplished thanks to Amazon and a surprising number of stores that provide free wheel...
Things had been going so well... I was eating and cooking and wanting to try new recipes again. And excited that I had a few more months to get back to posting before I became a momma. And then last ...
Ive updated this recipe with a few variations. This time instead of using a Hawaiian marinade, I coated the chicken in barbecue sauce before grilling. The flavor from the marinade does a better job o...
I know Ive posted this pizza twice before. But it deserves the repeat mention, since Im sure Ive made it more than any other recipe on this blog. And its awesome every time. Never grows old. My go-to...
This was the main event in our family dinner Sunday. Something I could throw together the night before and have on the table with the littlest of effort the next day. My sister declared it her favori...
This ice cream was devoured before I could snap a picture of it. So Im posting the recipe photo-less, since it was too good not to be shared. My family was visiting for the weekend and my mom ba...
As much as Im ready for spring and relishing these 70 degree days (well, yesterday was warm and sunny- today its snowing), Im still enjoying winter eating. This season brings the best of citrus and w...
I think my love of muffins is in my genes. One of my little sisters (I have three!) started cooking and posting recipes on her blog recently. As of when I checked today, 8 of her 40 posts (thats 1 in...
For the first few months of this pregnancy I could barely eat anything that resembled a vegetable. Lettuce? Forget it. And meat was equally repulsive. Bread and fruit kept us alive. Thankfully, Ive r...
Ive been posting so infrequently that when I finally have a recipe to share, I find that I cant figure out what to say. Its like talking to a friend that you dont keep in close touch with. You have t...
This is the basic pancake recipe Ive been waiting for. Nothing fancy or unusual about this breakfast specialty. Easy to whip up on a whim and reliably satisfying. Weve had pancakes for breakfast and/...
Im back! With a recipe, finally! And hopefully there will be more to come over the next few months before baby girl arrives. I was in the mood to make something sweet to celebrate the New Year and fo...
I figured its time I provided an update on my absence. Ive reached 20 weeks (halfway!) in my pregnancy and we found out the most wonderful news on Friday. Were having a healthy little girl! And I cou...
Since I dont anticipate having a new recipe to share with you before Thanksgiving, I thought Id put together a list of my favorite recipes that I would include in a Thanksgiving Feast.(Luckily, my mo...
I apologize for my long absence. And for not being completely honest with you. While all of the reasons I listed for taking a break from posting were true, I left a little something out. At the same ...
Ive always assumed that someday the nonstop cooking and photographing and posting would get tiresome and I would eventually burn out. I surprised myself and made it through countless holidays and vac...
How I love cinnamon. Cinnamon rolls, cinnamon swirl loaves, cinnamon-spiced cakes, even ice cream. I can always count on cinnamon to bring me to a happy place. When I need a quick cinnamon fix I...
This week started out bleak and dreary and soup seemed like the thing to make. Summer vegetables are still abundant around here, so I decided to revisit my minestrone. A pot-full makes enough to feed...
