Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers

Summer is suddenly upon us here, at least for a couple days until spring reasserts itself, and I’m starting early on my annual bid for air conditioning.  I love a sunny day as much as the next guy, but a hot house is looooow on my list of good things.  Let’s see, wheerrrrre is it, […]

Ultimate Beef Wellington

Ultimate Beef Wellington

Herein lies the most expensive post you will likely ever find on this ol’ blog: Beef Wellington. To someone who generally considers $3-$4 absolutely plenty to spend on meat for a meal to serve a family of 5 (one baby vegetarian, so more like a family of 4), forking over $40 for meat to serve […]

Pulled Pork Lasagna

On Sunday afternoon, Carl suddenly decided we should go shopping on Monday afternoon.  He arranged for his Mom to watch the kids, and I quickly abandoned plans to grocery shop and paint my front door.  When Carl decides we need to go shopping, believe me, I go shopping.   I didn’t find much, especially not […]

Crispy Lemon Mustard Roasted Chicken

I am on a serious roll with new dinner recipes.   *High fives all around!* I love coming up with new recipes, but when they don’t work I pretty quickly get grumpy and get back into a funk of sticking with old stand-bys, giving up on meal planning, and not bothering with risky experimentation.  When […]

BBQ Pulled Pork Pasta

BBQ Pulled Pork Pasta

We were at Boston Pizza awhile back and Carl ordered some BBQ Bolognese Pulled Pork Pasta.  I had a serious case of dinner envy (isn’t that the worst?), since it turned out to be way better than whatever I had ordered, and I kept sneaking bites while saying, “I could totally make this at home.” […]

Kid-Friendly Meatloaf

Kid-Friendly Meatloaf

The things we do for our kids, right? This recipe was inspired when Gemma and I were looking through the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook that we had taken out of the library, wondering which recipe to try together. I must confess to never having made meatloaf in close to 7 years of married life. […]
