Weekend warriors! It’s Saturday! What’s the good word?
We have a whole lot of nothing planned this weekend and I just couldn’t be more thrilled about it. The weather here in MN is feeling a bit crisp and fall like-so as you can imagine, I intend on a cozy cup of coffee this morning with my husband who is [finally] back in town and a couple of kids running around in jammies until we decide what random Saturday adventure we would like to partake in. Man, my kind of day. Continue reading

Well now if this doesn’t scream my husbands name, I’m not sure what does. This, right here, is one of his very favorite meals…and I have to admit, he has pretty darn good taste.
Lets just start this party immediately, guys. There’s a lot of celebrating to do, no sense in wasting anyones time.
First, we’ve got grilled bread. No, wait. Glazed with olive oil, grilled, crunchy on the outside slightly crisp on the inside bread. And you know, I don’t eat much bread on the regular. But this bread right here? ALWAYS an exception for this girl. Continue reading
Monday Monday. Give me allllll the coffee today, friends. You feeling it too? Some Mondays I am so ready to rock into the week…this Monday, totally ready to rock myself back to sleep. Perfect day for a hardly-a-recipe recipe, no?!
B.B.T Lettuce Wraps. Bacon Bleu Tomato Lettuce Wraps. Because you know what? Sometimes I don’t really feel like cooking. And sometimes, even though I don’t feel like cooking, I still feel like eating something yummy.
Oye. One-Pan Chicken Philly Pitas with Sriracha Mayo. Thats a mouthful. They’re a mouthful. Happy mouthful to you, my dears!

These types of “sheet pan meals” are all over this here interweb these days. The plot: put it all on a sheet pan, bake it and eat it. Clever, no? Makes a great story for a quick weeknight meal. Continue reading

There really is no excuse not to make this stuff. It takes about as much time as it takes to open up a jar of salsa from the market and, well, I don’t need to tell you how the taste compares, right?
We all know how delicious fresh salsa is. And when the tomatoes, peppers and onions are as fresh and perfect as it comes it really is just the most unbeatable condiment on the planet, in my humble opinion. Gobs of garlicky, acidic, sweet, spicy flavor…yes, please, I’ll go right ahead! Continue reading

Well, folks, my lovely oven is not working…it’s been a sad couple of days. But you know what? If my oven is going to go on strike it couldn’t have picked a better week for such a catastrophe. It’s hot outside. Like, reeeeaaaaalllyy, really sticky hot. There is just no way I would be using the oven in this heat, that I can assure you. So with the heat, and an oven thats waiting for the doctor to arrive, the grill saves the day!

This is the good stuff, guys. The really reeeeaaallllyyyy good stuff.
Rack of Lamb. Sounds fancy and intimidating, no? Take one breeze over this recipe and you will be so pleasantly surprised. It’s just so simple to do. And the results? So good. Like stupid good. Incredible. Continue reading

Do you guys have that urge to cook a solid meal on Sundays? Like, a stick to your ribs, starchy, midwestern type meal? I can’t get over it. I don’t know what it is. But chances are you’ll never see me serving a main course salad or light dish on that savored last-day-of-the-weekend. It just doesn’t feel right. Continue reading
