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 […]

Crock Pot Cheesy Potatoes

Everyone has those recipes that are great for potlucks, and you use them time and time again.  This is that recipe for me, and every time I take it somewhere new, people ask for the recipe.  I mean, who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes?  This recipe has an added bonus in that you put everything in […]

The Easiest Baked Tilapia Recipe Ever

This really is the easiest  baked tilapia recipe ever.  A bold statement, I know.  But it’s true.  It’s so, so easy, and the kicker is it’s really delicious every time.  It’s my all time favorite way to cook tilapia.  This recipe is a regular in our rotation because I almost always have these ingredients on […]

Freak out for Frico!

Ah, that’s a cheeky little blog name, now isn’t it?  I amuse myself sometimes. What is frico?  If you don’t know, I’m very sorry.  Because it is something everyone should know about.  Frico is what results when you bake parmesan cheese (real parmesan cheese, not the powder stuff) into insanely good crisps.  You know when […]

Peanut Butter Banana French Toast

I think Elvis would be proud.  This is the new breakfast of champions. I don’t even know what else to say about this recipe except that you have to try it.  It’s UH-MAZE-ING.  So delicious and decadent.  It’s perfect for a weekend brunch.  And it’s easy.  I’d bet you already have all of the ingredients on hand.

Garlic Cheddar Smashed Potatoes

Garlic.  Cheddar.  Smashed Potatoes.  Everything about that sounds delicious, right?  I know, I love garlic and cheddar cheese too!  Smashed potatoes are a really easy side dish that I’ve made over and over again, and honestly, I probably haven’t made them the same way twice.  I threw together these easy redskin smashed potatoes with garlic […]

Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

We eat a lot of chicken at our house, so I’m always looking for a new way to cook it.  Stuffing chicken breasts is a great way to do something different and it appears fancy, but it is really not that hard.  Added bonus – you can mix up the ingredients with different things you […]

Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Avocado Salsa

The first time I heard about fish tacos was probably about five years ago, and my immediate thought was “gross!”  Fish and tacos just did not sound like something that should be put together.  Ever.  But the more I got into cooking, and the more my palate’s horizons began to expand, the more okay I […]

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

 It’s officially grilling season!  Officially declared by me, that is.  We only have a charcoal grill at our house, so if we are going to grill something, it takes a decent time commitment.  That’s why if we’re going to go through the trouble to get the grill ready, I usually want to cook as much […]

Grilled Chicken with Plum Salsa

I officially have spring fever.  When it starts to get nice outside, I immediately want to break out the grill, which we did last weekend.  I don’t know about you, but I sometimes feel like I get in a grilling rut, doing the same things every time. We were having some family members over, and […]
