I love the crock pot. I love it even more when I just leave a note for my husband sitting on his desk and I come home to a meal that is done. I garnished this with a little cilantro, but probably should not have, as the flavor of the cilantro was quite strong in [...]

At some point in making this dinner I was terrified that all of the flavors would clash and make a horrible dinner. I was very wrong. The lemon flavor of the chicken cut the creaminess of the satay sauce and made the dish feel light. I didn’t have rice noodles, so I used wide Lo [...]

I had everything ready tonight to make Chicken and Biscuits, and I just wasn’t feeling it. We’ve had a sick cat, some family issues (send good vibes!) and I’ve been battling a cold, and warm, gravy floated chicken just wasn’t rocking my boat tonight. This post was discovered quite by accident while I was trying [...]

I stole this recipe from my newlywed friend Kiija over at Pleasant Eats who stole it from Cooking Light. I did make a few adaptations, and this recipe turned out surprisingly well. We served it up with some peas and pearl onions, and some oven roasted potatoes (with onion soup mix on top. Onions all [...]
Whoo, alliteration! That’s the English teacher/major/dork coming out in me. Tonight’s photo is brought to you by my new camera, which I love and will soon run away with. This recipe is adapted from a fellow food blogger’s recipe at What’s For Lunch Honey? Next time, I will probably use less coconut milk, and [...]

This was the first meal I made at our new house when we moved in over a year ago. It’s easy, it’s fairly fast, and all the parts are nicely timed to cook while you prep and then cook the other one. It does use three pans, which breaks me when dinner is done, but [...]
This has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Whenever people ask about “easy dinner” this is the first thing that comes to mind. It’s easy to increase the servings, and requires zero time to get ready. Seriously. No pictures tonight – I was too hungry! Maybe next time… The main dish is [...]

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a traditional cacciatori recipe. I’m fairly cofident that those involve wine, peppers, mushrooms, and other things that are not in here. However, that’s what it was always called when I was growing up, and so it shall remain. It’s a quick and simple meal, and (shh don’t tell mom) I’ve [...]

Again, with the olives. I don’t know why I don’t like them, but this salad is supposed to have them and I did not put them in there. If you like the slimy bastards, please, put them in and enjoy. This salad is also supposed to have feta cheese, which I love but forgot to [...]
I’m riding this supergrain business all the way to the end, my friends. I came across a corn and crab quinoa salad the other day, but I’m much too poor to put crab into salad (if I’m going to eat it, I’m going to have my husband make me crabcakes, thanks) so did this instead. [...]
