When I was a kid, we had pizza every Wednesday night. It was also the night my dad drank a beer (which at the time I thought was absolutely repulsive – I know better now ;)). It was always a cheese pizza and I absolutely loved it. Growing up in NY, good pizza surrounded […]
Come winter, all I want is comfort food. Shepard’s pies, casseroles and chicken pot pie. They usually take a long time to make, which is great because it’s cold out and I want to have my oven on. But sometimes, I don’t want the fuss of making two pastries and a roux and then cooking […]
It’s Thanksgiving!! And, the main event in our house is the turkey. There are many ways to make a turkey, but this is a basic, no fuss way that is hard to mess up. Stuff it, butter it and roast it. The fruits/veg/herbs on the inside keep in moist and flavor it, the butter keeps […]
My husband, Trevor, LOVESSSSSS honey mustard. It’s a weird obsession that we non-honey-mustard-loving-people don’t understand. Never-the-less, I made some homemade honey mustard to cook this chicken and apple recipe in and it’s tasty! The honey really makes the mustard less sharp which we both loved. So maybe all I needed to be converted was a […]
Baked potatoes are one of those foods that transport me back in time. I remember eating very plain, baked potatoes with a dollop of sour cream as a kid (and not loving them). So when I went to college, I topped them with anything and everything I could (and didn’t love them that way either). […]
Apple season is here! And everyone always wants to create sweet dishes with all the apples – apple cake, apple muffins, even apple sauce. But, you can make savory dishes as well! This salmon dish uses fresh apple cider that you can get at any supermarket or apple orchard after you finish apple picking. It […]
Katie Lee makes a mean bbq rack of ribs and this is a her recipe. There’s a lot of down time from baking to grilling but it’s worth the time investment. Buy meaty ribs so you can really enjoy the flavor of the rub. The different cooking methods really bring out the smokey flavors. And the […]
Ever crave something but know you can’t get to your favorite restaurant to have it (delivery is not always the same!)? Then these are perfect for you! You can put anything in them and use what you already have on hand to make them perfect! Have just a handful of greens or a tiny wedge […]
I’ve never made scallops before because they always seemed intimidating to me – they can be so finicky. But like shrimp, once you get the hang of it, they can be very easy to make. They’re also much less expensive to cook at home then to get in a restaurant. If you’ve never had or […]
When you’re on a low carb diet, sweet potatoes are one healthy option you can eventually introduce back in when you crave carbs. By using the potato here as the taco, you save on all the extra unnecessary calories you’d otherwise eat without sacrificing any of the good flavor. The cumin, in particular, stands out adding […]
