Last week, I was doing our weekly shop and cannellini beans (white kidney beans) were on crazy sale. So, I snatched up 10 boxes of beans and just knew everything was going to have white beans in it this week! It’s such an easy protein to eat from the box/can, blended in a soup, or […]
Hi, friends! How’s everyone doing in all this heat of summer? It’s so so hot here in Florida! On hot nights, I absolutely cannot fathom using my oven, and if I’m making something on the stove, it has to be quick! So that means I’m not cooking any meat! Vegetarian it is! Anyone else feel […]
I never really liked potatoes growing up. My parents would microwave them and they would come out unevenly cooked, dry and tasteless. But when Trevor and I were dating (many moons ago!), we were in England and he introduced me to the joys of a Jacket Potato. In the US, a Jacket Potato is called […]
A few weeks ago, I went to Costco and stocked up on all the essentials – salmon, tilapia, fruits, veg, bread, and of course, their famous rotisserie chicken. Costco is known for their super tasty rotisserie chickens at very reasonable prices. So every time I go, I pick one up, take the meat off the […]
A simple lasagna can be such a great way to feed a family or a crowd. Nothing over complicated, just layers upon layers of sauce, noodles and cheese. Because there are so many layers, I do try to make mine a little bit lighter on the cheeses since there are 3 different kinds used (Ricotta, […]
Good morning and happy Sunday! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far! I have a question for you – what do you find yourself cooking a lot of on the weekends or your days off? We definitely like to load up on cooking dishes so it lasts us the first few days of the […]
The bounty of summer tomatoes is upon us and what better way to celebrate than to make a big pot of fresh, delicious tomato soup! We still somehow have so many tomatoes and and herbs growing in the garden, even here in Florida. So I’m taking full advantage and using them in all my dishes. […]
I’ve made a LOT of lasagnas in my day – they’re easy. They’re huge and they feed a crowd. But the main problem with them for us if they have so much cheese in them. While we aren’t a lactose family, we don’t eat that much dairy. So if we ate a normal lasagna… well, […]
Good morning! How was everyone’s weekend? Ours was filled with friends, family and eating! Kinda great if you ask me! Well, when we have family visiting in town, we tend to make big one-pan meals to help feed everyone but also cut down on the dishes (there are always sooooo many dishes!). So this weekend, […]
Hello, friends! I’ve been quiet on here the past month as I’ve been taking a break after the holidays. I’ve been making some of my tried-and-true recipes and have finally decided to get a bit creative again! We’ve had so many soups on rotation so I was ready to have something a bit hardier. Now, […]
