On the weekends, I tend to read a lot of food magazines, blogs, cookbooks and watch cooking shows to find inspiration for the upcoming week of food I’m about to make. This past Sunday, I was reading the August edition of Food & Wine and came across this stuffed corn recipe. I will eat anything corn […]
I love shrimp. Trevor does not. He kinda feels the way about shrimp that I do about mushrooms (read more about that here). So, I don’t make shrimp that often. But when I do, it has to be good. So tonight, I’m making a simple grilled shrimp quinoa bowl using leftover quinoa, leftover corn-on-the-cob, tomatoes […]
Apparently, I’m in a vegetarian mood this week. Last night, it was a Tomato Feta Panzanella Salad, and tonight it’s stuffed portobello mushrooms. Now, if you know me, you know I don’t love the texture of mushrooms (cooked or raw, any variety). But I absolutely love the flavor. Trevor could live on mushrooms – that’s […]
I’m a big salmon lover. I blame my parents (they are too)! We ate it all the time growing up and while I hated it back then, I’ve really learned to love and appreciate how good it is. If you search my archives, you’ll see over a dozen recipes I have made using salmon. But […]
I must be craving chicken this week because I haven’t had it in a while, and now I’m making it two nights in a row! This is a great way to enjoy chicken in a bold, flavorful way. It tastes like a full-fat version of chicken salad, but part of the mayo is substituted with […]
Every now and again, I look forward to tasty, carb-free dinners. I spent so long eating them when I was doing Whole30 in January, that I still look forward to them now (in moderation, of course). If I was doing Whole30 again but in the summer, this is one I would definitely have on repeat. […]
This past weekend, I was watching The Kitchn again on Food Network and was inspired by Geoffrey Zakarian’s hanger steak recipe. He is such an amazing Iron Chef and it’s so inspiring to watch him cook. On the show, the group made a steak and salsa recipe, much like my adapted version below. It was beyond […]
Last week, I went food shopping and bought a whole chicken with the intention of making a dish with it in my Instant Pot. Then (unrelated), I got food poisoning, so I couldn’t look at food for days. By the time the weekend rolled around, I had to quickly use the chicken up, but Trevor […]
Firing up the bbq in the summer is so much easier than cooking indoors because you get to enjoy all the fresh air without being cooped up in a hot kitchen. Steak cooks up so quickly too, so while the grill is doing all the work, the rest is just assembly. Today, I walked through […]
We’ve been having some crazy storms here in the Northeast the past few days and all I want to do is sit and stare out the window instead of cook. Soooo it’s another quick dinner this week. This is one of those dinners I used to make after a long day of working in the […]
