Now that the weather is starting to get nicer, I’m really getting excited about the Farmer’s Market. Every Wednesday and Saturday morning in Springfield we have a wonderful Farmer’s Market downtown with a multitude of stands offering every kind of fresh produce you could ever dream of. We love going to the Farmer’s Market, and […]
I love tortellini, so I am always looking for new ways to cook it. Specifically, there’s a type of cheese and spinach tortellini (by Barilla) that I think is exceptionally delicious. I saw this recipe on Pinterest, and I knew I wanted to try it. (They just so happened to use the kind of tortellini […]
I know it’s almost spring, so our time for soup is really winding down, but I think this soup recipe is perfect for this time of year. It’s light, brothy, full of flavor, and very refreshing with the hint of lemon and fresh grassy parsley, yet definitely filling enough to be a meal. I […]
As spring approaches, we are nearing the end of soup season. I think I still have a little time to squeeze in a couple more recipes though, because it’s not too warm yet. Pretty soon it will be grilling time! This is a pretty light and healthful soup with tons of flavor. It has tiny […]
I’ve seen several recipes for these on Pinterest, and even though they looked good, I resisted initially because it called for a couple of ingredients I didn’t have. Well one of my friends at work has made them several times now, and I tasted hers one day and they were so good. So I decided […]
The big game is this Sunday, and whether you’re in it for the game or the commercials, chances are you will be noshing on some goodies. After all, what’s the Superbowl without some great food? I haven’t decided yet what we will be muching on. What are you doing to have? If you haven’t […]
It has been so cold here lately, I think I have saved at least a dozen soup recipes. I love soup this time of year. I saw a couple of recipes for lasagna soup and it just sounded so good to me. Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been craving foods with tomatoes or tomato sauce, […]
It’s no secret that we love grilled cheese here at our house. But, I never make straight up grilled cheese with American cheese on white bread. Ever. I always mix it up with different breads, usually something really grainy with great texture, various cheeses, and other yummy fillings. This time, I went a pretty hearty […]
If you read my post a long, long time ago about cornish game hens, this is pretty much the exact same recipe, except with a regular sized chicken. I made three of these puppies for our Mother’s Day celebration this year, and everyone just loved it! The chicken really absorbs the flavors of the garlic, […]
Bacon makes everything better, including salmon, which I think is already pretty awesome. This is a really easy way to do something different with salmon. The saltiness of the bacon really compliments the salmon, and the chipotle mayo gives it a nice little kick of spiciness. You can make it as spicy as you like […]
