This was a simply great, quick dish adapted from Cooking Light. If you catch shrimp on sale, it’s practically frugal as well… The idea for tonight was fire, sun, warmth and brightness. This fit the bill quite well.
1/2 lb fettuccine, cooked to package directions and drained (really, start cooking it as soon as you start [...]
I whipped this up together quickly one night when I didn’t really feel like cooking. Served with some creamy noodles (thanks, Lipton in a bag) and some green beans, it was easy and tasty. To cook the beans, I just pushed the finished shrimp to the side and cooked the beans with some seasoned salt [...]
I know this is a little bit late for the Superbowl, but I thought I’d post it anyway since it was such a huge success here. I’m not a fan of blue cheese, so I went with ranch, but you could easily change this to your liking. I really threw it together as I went [...]

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 [...]
Another recipe from Rachael Ray, although modifiedd because I don’t eat beef. These were reallly fast – about 15 minutes from start to finish. They really lived up to their description in the cookbook – “souped up sloppy joes.” I was dubious about the ketchup on top, but it was really good, especially with the [...]

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 [...]

The bulk of this recipe was stolen from my favorite foodblog, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I will admit to making very few changes, but I wanted to share this with you because it is not at all like mac ‘n cheese, but more like… well, everything I ate in Scotland, meaning it has corn [...]
Nom nom nom. That’s what this pizza is. It is strongly flavored, creamy, and potentially the most fattening and horrible thing that anyone could ever eat. But it is SO GOOD. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I ate for two years when I didn’t eat meat, [...]

Crusted? Encrusted? Who knows. Anyway, a coworker passed along this recipe a few years ago and now it is our favorite way to make tuna. I leave my tuna nearly breathing in the middle, but the man likes his cooked all the way through. I normally serve this with some oriental [...]
The husband and I were commenting on how great that frozen garlic bread is – you know, the one that comes in a plastic tube? I’m sure this recipe is partly fueled by “ohgoditscoldoutside” taste buds, but who doesn’t like garlic bread? (If you do not, do not eat this, and let [...]
