Saturday Sweets: Grilled Strawberry Nutella Sandwich

Saturday Sweets: Grilled Strawberry Nutella Sandwich

It’s not too often I recommend eating a Saturday sweet recipe for breakfast and/or lunch! This probably falls into the spot as #1 healthiest Saturday Sweet on our blog, but it is too sweet not to be considered perfect for the list.  Not to mention you can be enjoying it a mere 10 minutes after […]

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Does anyone else have a problem choosing a mascara? I was once again reminded of my inability to choose which one to get when my latest tube ran out. I am a grown woman. I make decisions. I make choices. Some are big, some are small. But why, oh why, am I completely inept at […]

Buttery Pasta Skillet Bake

Buttery Pasta Skillet Bake

I am so happy to have my laptop up and running again! I thought it was beyond repair, but after 2 weeks of despair Carl finally took pity on me and opened it up, which means he found the giant hairball that was clogging the fan and causing the computer to shut itself down every […]

Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares

There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]

Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa

Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa

You know the age old saying “Do as I say, not as I do?” Well, I’m quite afraid that this will be the theme of my parenting. You see, I don’t like veggies that are cooked. I don’t like the chunkies in my soup. I know, mom, the tastes all blend and they don’t even […]

Shrimp & Bacon Caesar Pizza

Shrimp & Bacon Caesar Pizza

My kitchen is officially {almost} finished, and I am already hooked on it.  I love working with all that counter top and the scads of cupboard space which means pans are not haphazardly stacked weapons waiting to escape when I open a door.   One thing I always struggled with making on my confining counter space […]

Bacon & Butternut Squash Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Bacon & Butternut Squash Mac ‘n’ Cheese

There is no comfort food that gets me quite like macaroni and cheese. Do you think you can guess why? Let’s try a little multiple choice. A) I love pasta. B) I love cheese. C) All of the above. You guessed it, the answer is a resounding C! This mac ‘n’ cheese is great for […]

Almond Joy Cookies

Almond Joy Cookies

I am so glad to be back in the kitchen and actually able to photograph the food I’ve been making. My camera decided to go on a vacation on me, and I was worried it had left forever and forgotten to leave a note. Fortunately, my cousin just happened to be fiddling with it, and […]

Hearty Minestrone Soup

Hearty Minestrone Soup

On a cold, gray, rainy or snowy day, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. If you’re feeling sniffly, achy, and generally unwell, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. When you are a poor student/waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory and get unlimited free soup, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. There is […]

Quick Crustless Quiche

Quick Crustless Quiche

Quick Crustless Quiche. Say that 5 times fast. Fun, right?! So let’s talk about Breakfast for Dinner. I am not a big breakfast person, so, while I have to eat breakfast to avoid a massive crazy mood swing by 9:00, I tend to stick to a muffin or scone, or a smoothie…something light, reasonably nutritious, […]
