Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

I’ve been making my own taco seasoning for quite a while now. When I started really getting into food and watching Food Network a few years ago, I watched a lot of Rachael Ray 30 Minute Meals, because that was relatable to me. Even when making a meal in 30 minutes or less, she always […]

Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Pasta with Chicken recipe

This dish was inspired by my pantry. I’ll admit, there’s enough food stocked in our pantry to last a good long while through an apocalypse. I was in there the other day and saw a bag of sun-dried tomatoes that had been sitting around for a while and thought, “I should use those.” So I looked […]

Roasted Veggie Pasta Sauce

Wow, it’s been a while since I have posted a recpie! I’ve been cooking, I have just been using my free time to play with Wes instead of blogging. The good news is that I have several great recipes to share with you, so I’m going to do my best to get them out there. […]

Superfood Casserole

Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]

Pesto Roasted Potatoes

It’s grilling season! I love cooking out when the weather is nice…well I love preparing food and having Tim grill it. 😉 We grilled out the other day and I was trying to decide what to cook with our burgers. Sometimes I feel like I get in a side dish rut. As much as I […]

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 […]

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 […]

Snack Time: Avocado Hummus

I love avocados and I love hummus, so when I came across a pin on Pinterest for Avocado Hummus, I was excited! (Food nerd alert: Yes, I get excited about recipes I see online.  And the other day, I found myself in the grocery store exclaiming aloud, “Finally!  Tomato paste in a tube!” So yeah, […]
