If there’s one food I could eat pretty much every day, it’s Mexican. I just love it! Tim didn’t much care for it when we first started dating, but he’s seen the light since he’s been with me. 😉 I first got the idea for this casserole from a Hungry Girl recipe. It seemed pretty […]

Corn and Black Bean Salad with Basil Lime Vinaigrette
I was going through my pins on Pinterest the other day, and I realized I have pinned about six or eight different salads containing some combination of corn and black beans. Apparently this is something that sounds really good to me. 🙂 Well, I think I can go ahead and delete all of those pins, […]
Easy Weeknight Dinner: Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
So, I subscribe to this awesome blog, Two Peas and Their Pod. I just love their recipes, their photos are fantastic, and their posts are well written. A couple of weeks ago, I saw they posted this recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. I knew immediately I’d have to try […]
Grilled Zucchini and Bell Peppers
My philosophy about grilling is that if we’re going to take the time to fire up our charcoal grill, I am going to take full advantage of it. These grilled vegetables are fresh, healthy, quick, and easy. They’re also very colorful. I’ve heard you should eat five colors every day, and some even say five […]
Roasted Red Pepper and Gouda Baked Chicken
So, I saw this recipe on Rachael Ray’s website. I didn’t actually see her cook it, and the name didn’t really appeal to me (Hungarian Roasted Pepper and Paprika Chicken), but curiosity got the best of me, and I clicked on the link for the recipe. I liked the ingredients – chicken, paprika, roasted red peppers, and […]
It’s Spring – Time for Pasta Primavera!
This is a recipe I’ve made many times, and it’s definitely a regular in our spring/summer rotation. That’s saying a lot, because generally my philosophy is “So many recipes, so little time.” Tim and I both love this because it’s healthy and full of vegetables. It’s light, very fresh tasting, and perfect for spring! And primavera […]
Southwest Skillet Scramble
On weekends, Tim and I like to put together different variations of skillet scrambles using different meats, veggies, and cheeses. They are so quick and easy, made all in one pan, and you can make them millions of different ways. Tim loves eggs, so he’d eat them any which way. I decided to put something […]
A Meal Fit For a Birthday
I mentioned in a previous post (about a certain delicious oatmeal cake) that my mom recently had a birthday. We all went down to my parents’ house and spent the weekend there to celebrate. Tim, my sister-in-law, Jill, and I cooked my mom a super special birthday lunch. Since I was deemed the project manager, […]
Salsa Stoup with Avocado Smash and Whole Wheat Quesadillas
Is there a 12 step program for soup? Because if there is, I should probably sign up. I’ve made more soup this winter than any other winter I can remember. I even created a soup chock full of vegetables and then got crazy one day and added pesto to it. It. was. delicious. I’ll definitely […]
