So that means lots of pesto! And with this low-carb diet thing, wings are on the menu! I’ve shared a lot of tasty chicken wing recipes like miso glazed chicken wings and maple mustard wings are my favorite go-tos. But this was a nice summery take on wings! These are basically the same recipe, season and bake and then toss with the sauce–in this case pesto–and bake again…

Spice up your weeknight pizza by making your own green pizza! Thin crust pizza with a pesto sauce topped with broccoli, artichokes, and feta for a healthy but delicious green pizza! – – I’m a huge fan of pizza! Melty cheese on carbs? I was sold at cheese! Now throw some healthy and tasty veggies and some of that good ‘ol cheese and you’ve got yourself a pretty tasty meal! It does take some work, but I think it is really worth it in the end. This pizza is light and flavorful and even has veggies so I feel half…

Potomac Point Winery is down south of NoVA, rather than west like a lot of other wineries we frequent. We were actually looking at it as a possible wedding venue, though jury’s out if it’ll make the cut! It’s a gorgeous property, and not too bad to find. We’ll kick off the review with brunch: the food was delicious! Tyler and I were both starving after our wedding venue tour, so that probably added a few points in their favor. But the food we had was delicious! I went with a grilled chicken, pesto, and sweet pepper flatbread. It was…

Installment 2 of Copycat week! The first installment was stuffed chicken marsala! Chicken Bellagio is hands-down one of my favorite meals of all time! And I eat a lot, so that should tell you something. This recipe is another one that shows you can have all the comforts and cravings of restaurant meals at home! Courtesy of the Cheesecake Factory. As far as I know I haven’t heard or seen of it anywhere else, so I’m going with that. In fact, it’s about the only dish (other than happy hour apps) that I order when I go there. It’s a huge portion,…

Look familiar? I’ll give you a hint: I reviewed a dish quite like this last week from Kona Grill! Here’s my homemade take! The one bite I stole from one of my fellow bridesmaids K at the bachelorette dinner last weekend was so good I was still craving it two days later! So I tried to kinda make something up as I went. This was still quite tasty, and delicious, though of course not exactly the same. Definitely a keeper though! Pesto cream sauce with sausage medallions tossed with some spaghetti or linguine. Hope you enjoy! You’ll notice in this photo…

So I know I promised you my review on Mediterranean Cellars in my post last week about quattro goomba winery, but I’ve elected to postpone that post in favor of a shout out to the place in Baltimore that we had dinner for J’s bachelorette party! I figured that was a little more timely, and besides, I wanted to dish on some of the details of the weekend. So keep an eye out for that Mediterranean Cellars post, I promise it’s coming! I’ve known J for what’s going on 6 years–wow can you imagine? We met through our sorority in college, but at Bucknell…

This is a hearty and tasty vegetarian pasta option! We actually were introduced to this recipe by a friend of T’s who made it when we visited them to chat about their trip to Iceland! We’re going next month, so we wanted to get the inside scoop since they went only a few months before we will. But T and I were both impressed with how tasty this meal was, so I decided to recreate it at home for myself! Asparagus is not T’s favorite, but he’ll eat it, and more happily so when it’s mixed into things, so that works out…

It’s pretty rare that I make a recipe from scratch. Most times I just browse pinterest until I’m drooling then pick the thing that is most drool-worthy that day. But these chicken burgers are quite tasty, and I’m pretty proud of them. Even more so because I snuck a veggie into the burger. Plus with homemade pesto, I feel like it’s complete. Making pesto feels so summery to me. Those big basil plants, snitching a few toasted pine nuts that cost way too much but are way too tasty. I use basil mostly, although sometimes I throw in some parsley…
