Tuscan Chickpea Soup with Swiss Chard

I know it’s spring, but it’s not too hot for one more soup recipe! This was a really simple soup to make, and very delicious! Even my 1 year old loved it! It is full of veggies, has a lot of protein from the chickpeas, and has tons of flavor. I will be adding this to […]

Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month!

I’m ashamed of myself. April is National Grilled Cheese month, surely cause for celebration for anyone who calls herself a cheese lover like me, and yet here it is April 27th and I’ve posted exactly zero recipes about grilled cheese. The first year I was blogging, I found out about National Grilled Cheese month too late, at the […]

The Best Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Lately, I’ve been looking for easy meals that I can make quickly or ahead of time so I can spend as much time as possible with my family. Can you blame me? Look how cute my little man is! Lucky me, he “helps” me in the kitchen by taking dishes out of the dishwasher (which eventually end […]

Italian Sausage and Roasted Red Pepper Risotto

Risotto is one of those things that I love but I don’t make very often.  It’s not difficult at all, but it is time consuming.  When you make risotto, it’s like a dependent child.  You have to constantly be there to give it love and attention, because if you look away for too long it […]

Easy Weeknight Meal: Foil Packet Salmon with Snap Peas

Now that I’m a mom, I am always looking for recipes that are super quick and easy.  I still love to cook, and I still like to try recipes that are more involved, but I just have no desire to spend a lot of time in the kitchen when I could be playing with Wes.  […]

Turkey Bacon Chili

This winter I have been obsessed with chili.  So much so, in fact, that I requested it as my birthday meal from Tim.  There are about as many ways to make chili as there are people out there who eat chili. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice.  This year, I’ve […]

Blackberry Jalapeño Pork Loin

If I watch TV, the majority of the time, it’s a food show.  I pick up a lot of food knowledge, techniques, and other tidbits.  It’s not as often as you’d think that I see a recipe I feel compelled to make.  However, when I saw Guy Fieri make this Raspberry Jalapeño Pork Loin on the Rachael […]

What’s in Season: Peach Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Chicken

I love to use produce that’s in season whenever possible, and this is a great time of year for that! I have to restrain myself at the Farmer’s Market so I don’t spend the entire week’s food budget in one fell swoop. Right now, the peaches are sinfully sweet and impossibly juicy.  I had some […]

Well, here we are, smack in the middle of grilling season!  We are firing up the grill at least once a week these days to enjoy the beautiful summer weather, while making some delicious food at the same time. I’m really excited about this recipe!  I found it a while back on Pinterest and pinned […]
