So friends. I really wish I didn’t have to do this, but I’m left with no choice. It’s time to preach. I need you to get your cute butt in your kitchen. Immediately. Continue reading

Roasted Balsamic Tomato Melts
I like these. I reeeeaaaalllly like these.
This boring old tomato had been staring me in the eye for days and I finally caved. I knew it wasn’t the kind of tomato that was worthy of being eaten alone with a little salt. After all, it is March. But I needed to utilize it in some way. So I sliced it up and away to the oven it went for a roast. Continue reading
Winter Chop Chop Salad
I sit here today with a big fat leftover bowl of this on my lap and a giant forkful in my mouth. It’s a good thing this blogging deal isn’t live and in video…you would question so very many things about me; including but not limited to: my upbringing (potentially questioning whether or not I was raised by wolves), if, in fact, I actually feed myself real human food on a regular basis (because the shoveling would lead one to believe genuine starvation could be a factor in this picture) or, if I treated myself to take out for lunch (from a very fresh, hip, homegrown-type of joint). Continue reading
Kale with Lemon Cream Sauce
Good old kale. It’s wonderful. It’s versatile. It’s full of so many fantastic nutrients. The total package. I’ve always adored it; for salads, wilting into soups and stews and so much more. But I have got to say this Kale with Lemon Cream Sauce is up there high on my list of very favorite side dishes. Continue reading
One Pot Asian Peanut Chicken + Noodles
So I’ve got this thing for these one pot pasta deals that have been floating around the internet over the last couple of years. Remember this one? Well, I haven’t stopped experimenting. Continue reading
Sausage, Bean and Veggie Soup
If you’re looking for a phenomenal tasting, ridiculously quick and easy recipe for a warm, cozy pot of soup head on over to Twin Cities Moms Blog, friends. I shared a family favorite today that I’m pretty positive you will adore as much as we do. I have shared the recipe with you in the past, but it’s been a while, so in case you’ve forgotten about it or missed it the first time around I thought it would only be noble of me to share it again. Especially considering the forecast here in Minnesota for the weekend. Oye. A piping hot bowl of this stuff juuuust might come in handy…brrr! Continue reading
Shrimp and Cauliflower Grits
I sit here with the intent of being a good friend. I really do. I want to know how your holidays were. I want to know about your resolutions. The wonderful things you ate. How much you {hopefully} enjoyed a little time off. I do. But I can’t.
I can’t possibly sit here with this little gem dangling over my head and write, even think, about anything else. This gem I write of is called Shrimp and Cauliflower ‘Grits’ you guys. And I have got to get over it. It’s becoming a problem.
Let’s just get right down to it. Continue reading
Slow Cooker Smokey Ham and White Bean Soup
I’ve got a thing for a good ham and bean soup. It’s old school. A staple. Nostalgia central. It’s like a really fantastic, super old pair of Chuck Taylors, or that worn in sweatshirt with all the holes in it. Solid. Legit. Classic. Always in style. So this recipe? My jam.
I’ve tried simmering this stuff on the stove for hours. I’ve soaked the beans overnight. I’ve used beans from a can. I’ve seared the ham before slow cooking it. I’ve added roasted garlic. The list could go on. I’ve fussed around with ham and bean soup in every way, shape or form and this ridiculous, itty bitty, hardly-any-work-or-ingredients recipe is by far the best I have done to date. Continue reading
Roasted Spaghetti Squash Pie
Spaghetti Pie. My guess it’s graced your family’s table in some way, shape or form. Think baked ziti, with spaghetti noodles. It’s casserole-ish. Hot dish-ish, to my Minnesotan friends. It’s comforting, rich, gooey and just plain welcomed in my home.
So, how about Spaghetti Pie with roasted spaghetti squash? Have you? Would you? You should. You totally should. Heres why… Continue reading
Roasted Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
I won’t deny it. Pasta Carbonara tends to be one of my favorite dishes on the planet when I’m in the mood for comfort. And my entire family is right there with me, even on picky-eating days. It’s as indulgent as all get out and I am always able to get it on the table in a matter of minutes which is huge.
But my little unsatisfied food brain got to thinking….if Carbonara is so delicious and weeknight savvy with spaghetti pasta…why the heck couldn’t it be with spaghetti squash? Continue reading
