    I made this for a quick dinner today, and it was tasty and looked just like the pictures over at damndelicious!  I made them for dinner with some fried rice to whip in some veggies, but these would also be…

    So, as in my other drink post: strawberry shortcake vodka slush, this isn’t really a full-blown recipe, but more just a conglomeration of ingredients in which eyeballing is the key to success.  The reason is that for alcoholic drinks, I…

    Here’s recipe two from T’s and my’s Thursday night cinco de mayo dinner!  Churro Cookies.  Yes, they are just as glamorous as they sound.  I promise.  And actually, they’re amazingly simple.  There’s–count ’em–only 6 ingredients! Now I don’t make these…

    Happy cinco de mayo!  Well, happy cinco de siete, technically, but who’s counting?  I’ve been a busy pup mom this past week, not to mention work’s been a little crazy.  But T and I both had rough weeks, so we decided…

    Last weekend we had a feast!  My parents and my godparents were in town, and we made enough food to feed a small army!  I made lamb kebabs (check out the recipe here), roasted broccoli, naan, rice, and then my key…

    April 25, 2016

    I’ve made this recipe a few times, and while delicious and the top and bottom of the noodle nest are crispy, the noodles are never quiiiiiite crispy enough for me!  That said, it’s still amazingly delicious!  I’ll bet you need…

    April 19, 2016

    Here is my classic turkey burger recipe, with a little dijon thrown in for some flavor!  I classify this recipe as a “simple” one since I have most of the ingredients around the house, and the ones I usually need…

    Corn bread, and beef, and cheese, oh my! This is a great make-ahead meal!  We had a game night with a friend coming over, and I was going to try to not actually be in the kitchen making dinner for like…

  • mediterranean pinwheels;

    April 2, 2016

    These Mediterranean pinwheels are a perfect, EASY appetizer.  This is one of our go-to’s because T likes them, and I like them, and he’s less likely to eat half the cheese and salami before they go in the oven.  Though…

  • garlic knot pizza dip;

    March 31, 2016

    This recipe is exactly what it sounds like!  Pizza dip (though I will say, a little bit more of a white pizza), surrounded by soft and chewy garlic knots!  Definitely turn up the garlic on those garlic knots too.  Sometimes if I’m…
