I hope your Easter was a blessed one, friends. We had such a lovely weekend…a ton of family time, endless fun for the kiddos and food galore.
Ham was on the menu over here and I know for many of you, as well. So in an effort to simplify your meal plans for the week, lets find a way to use up that leftover ham in 5 Simple, Delicious Weeknight-Worthy Meals! Continue reading
So let’s talk about this farro love affair I have going on. Remember this? My feelings toward this super grain simply hasn’t changed. If anything, I’ve fallen deeper. So it should come as no surprise that I am two-thumbs-up’ing this One Pot Savory Chicken + Farro. Continue reading
How was the weekend? It’s officially spring, friends..congratulations..you’ve made it! I’m feeling awfully grateful that ‘technical’ winter is behind us…now if we could just get these temps (and random bouts of snow) out of the equation.
So with spring comes lighter food, which I am feeling so ready for. You know I’m all about soups, stews and gratins but there comes a point in time when a change of food is in order…and around here our changes in food tend to come and go with the seasons. Continue reading
So this daylight savings time thing. Are you feeling it? Am I crazy {enter VERY loud boom upstairs and a screaming 4 year old…I’ll be right back} Continue reading
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
Well, my guess is, by now, you have gathered that soups are kind of my thing. We just click well, for so many reasons.
I love to make them as I go, adding this, that or whatever is left sitting in my fridge or pantry-it’s like piecing together a flavor puzzle; the pieces being whats available in your kitchen. It teaches me so many dynamics about true cooking. What pairs well together, which flavors and textures don’t mesh. Soups and stews tend to be my best learned lessons-and provide me my most creative time in the kitchen, which I love. Continue reading
So, how was it? Did you go crazy for your kids halloween candy? My husband did. I had no part in it. Except for the DOTS. And peanut butter cups. I may have had a Snickers, too. Or two.
This weekend basically consisted of lots of junk food…pizza, burgers and fries, way too much candy..and not enough sleep. So, back we are to reality and it feels so very good to have meals at home, sleep schedules for the kids and real-life food in the fridge. It doesn’t take much for me. If I’ve got those three things I am ONE HAPPY CAMPER. Continue reading
Slow Cookers. They can be such a time and sanity saver. But, as you know, I’m really finicky about what I put in them-I believe it’s my controlling food nature. When I put something in the slow cooker I’ve lost control. There’s no seasoning as you go, there’s no stirring, there’s no adding this or that. It’s a hands off, no-control zone for me. So recipes I put in mine have to be precise…and special…and worthy. This ones there. Continue reading
So there’s Sunday’s Finest Roasted Chicken; all dressed up, fancy “tie” and all. Stuffed and seasoned and as delicious as can be. At least I thought. But then my laziness set in and I wanted Sundays Finest Roasted Chicken on a weeknight. Without all of the hassle of stuffing and tying and fussing. Continue reading
Well, the time has come my friends. My computer has taken a turn for the worse. It will be admitted into the ICU on Thursday. Prayers, positive vibes and pleas that my not-backed-up blogging lifeline can make a full, healthy recovery. Turns out, pumping it full of nourishing food just wasn’t enough. Touché. Continue reading
