Now, depending on who you are, the picture down there might not look so appetizing. But I promise this was one of the most well received dinners at my house in a long time, and I quickly put it into the category of “company dinners.” Not that we ever have company for dinner (and if [...]

This is another slightly adapted Cooking Light recipe. I really enoyed it, and although my husband was dubious upon seeing that can of creamed corn in a bowl, he came around when it came out of the oven. It was easy, flavorful, and tasted like the corn pudding that you get at Chevy’s.
1 c. Mexican [...]
I don’t have much else to say other than the title. I’m in love with my crock pot, and it remains my favorite way to be lazy with dinner. This is really a “dump it in the pot” kind of meal, although I souped it up a bit in the end with some additional seasoning. [...]
I don’t know if I’ve sung the praises of the crock pot enogh on this site, but if I have not, I really should start. You dump a bunch of things in, and then 6 hours later, you have dinner. This recipe was especially tasty. Although the taste wasn’t strong, it was flavorful. And sometimes [...]
Alrighty, I’m back. Sorry for being out of comission there for awhile. Hope I didn’t lose too many people! To make up for being gone so long, I’m going to post for the next four days in a row. Maybe even more, if I start cooking again this weekend.
So, this recipe is a modified Cooking [...]

This was by far one of the tastiest pasta dishes I’ve had in a long time. Alas, there is no way to make it pretty – it’s white, with chicken, and pasta. I guess I could have used some parsley to jazz up the picture, but I’m just keeping it real, ya know. I left [...]
This dinner came together in the amount of time it took the pasta to finish cooking. It was super simple, and really delicious!

1 Tbs lime juice
1/2 lb linguine, cooked to package directions
1 c. scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs sesame oil
Generous pinch of sugar
1/4 [...]
I originally planned on marinating this chicken only in teryaki sauce, only to discover that we had about 1/4 c. left in the jar. (Unsponsored plug, by the way, for Soy Vay, the best teryaki sauce I have ever had.) So I had to improvise. I marinated the chicken in a hodgepodge of what I [...]
I really had a hankering for some potatoes, and wanted to make them the way I like them best – baked with a little coarse sea salt and creme fraiche. And then I thought “well that’s a super French thing, let’s make tarragon chicken, because just the word tarragon reminds me of France.” I made [...]

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 [...]
