Zucchini Basil Spaghetti

Zucchini Basil Spaghetti

The good thing about Carl going out of town is that my grocery bill is literally cut in half. The bad news is I have 4 boys who will be teenagers before I know it, and this makes me realize that I don’t think we’ll be able to afford to feed them anything but noodles […]

Light{er} Creamy Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

I promise to stop complaining about summer soon, but I have to tell you that I’m pretty sure I figured out the problem I have with summer.  The problem is that I always feel really heavy. Don’t ask me how it’s possible, since I definitely eat less in the heat.  Maybe I’m retaining the 24 […]

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 […]

Sweet & Spicy Noodle Bowl

I love noodle bowls. I think I love them because they give the illusion of stir-fry without the problem of rice.  I have a few problems with rice, not least of which is that I’m just not very good at making it. It remains the only food I cannot master after repeated tries, and it seems […]

Bacon and Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo

Bacon and Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo

When I stopped eating wheat, pasta was one of the things that I missed the absolute most (besides scones), and I was more than thrilled when I found out that rice pasta, when cooked right, is just as delicious! If you are sensitive to wheat, or gluten intolerant, and haven’t tried rice pasta, then go […]
