You can’t argue with the raw ingredients here. Who doesn’t love pesto, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and freshly grated parmesan? The time and effort this takes is another thing to love about this recipe. I recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have the luxury of tons of time to make dinner but still wants something that [...]
When my dear, sweet sister Sarah came to help with Betsy right after she was born, she made us dinner. She made these incredible vegetable enchiladas with sweet potato and black beans. They were delicious. The really wonderful thing about them was the goat cheese. I would’ve never thought to do that, and I would’ve [...]
We’re moving in 12 days! I’m starting to wonder why we thought moving 7 weeks before my due date was a good plan! I’m actually very excited, just anxious and stressing a bit. My sweet mom came down and helped me for a few days last week. We didn’t pack the entire kitchen, but that [...]
The internet is a great place to peruse recipes and get new ideas for healthifying your meals. I think I made that word up. I like comfort food. I like cheese, cream, sugar, butter, bacon, chocolate and all things bread. Unfortunately, eating like that all the time would mean big trouble. So I sometimes like [...]
One of the great things about having a pantry that’s on the small side is that it is next to impossible to lose track of food, only to find it years later. I don’t have to get elbow-deep in my canned goods to find a can of tomatoes. My small food storage also keeps me [...]
It is hard to cook for two. This meal was yet another reminder of that fact. After the two of us had one big (for Ben) and two small (for me) servings of this chicken tikka, it didn’t look like we’d even touched the stuff. We will be eating this for days, and I mean [...]
This is a great meal if you’re looking for a nice alternative to chicken noodle soup. This hearty chicken and rice soup is flavorful, loaded with veggies and has a nice crisp flavor thanks to the fresh herbs and lemon juice added at the end. The curry isn’t overwhelming, but gives the soup a nice [...]
These little guys come together easily with very little cooking, making them a quick, easy and tasty weeknight meal. All you need is a rotisserie chicken, a can of black beans, a can of corn, tortillas, feta cheese, avocado, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, limes and fresh cilantro. You can change anything about this meal to make [...]
Houston received quite a bit of rain on Monday, and so that morning I began looking for good rainy day meals. Of course soup came to mind, but then I came across this recipe for a chicken and chickpea stew on Epicurious. The recipe is simple. Sauteed veggies mixed with chicken in a simple chicken [...]
I haven’t been making meals at home much lately. Lots of taking out, going out, vacation foods and eating holiday meals. I’m trying to get back into meal planning, buying groceries for the week and hopefully feeling better. We need to make the change from restaurant fare to home cooked meals. That is my resolution [...]
