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
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

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
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.” […]
Mom’s Beef Bourguignon
Today I’m excited to début another new feature on the blog – in addition to Erin’s fashion expertise, my sweet Mom has agreed to come on board and contribute some of her amazing recipes! Hi Mom!! Really, I’ve been stealing and sharing her recipes the whole two years I’ve been blogging, so it only seems right you […]
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. […]
