I have come to a very important conclusion: it is impossible to get a pretty picture of an enchilada. But trust me when I say that it was 1000 times tastier than it looks! This recipe was easy, fairly quick and completely delicious! I did a slightly different sauce due to what I had on [...]

Cranberry-Almond Granola

Quick Focaccia Bread
When I was planning out the menu last weekend for when our friends came for dinner I knew I wanted to make a bread to go with the pasta. I debated between a focaccia and ciabatta bread. After looking through numerous recipes I decided on this one because it was fast. I knew with everything [...]

Chicken broccoli ziti in a white wine cheddar sauce
Last weekend we had some friends over for dinner and after seeing this recipe on blogs seemingly dozens of times over the last few months I decided this was the recipe to make. I’m really glad I did. Our friends loved it, as did we. For some reason when I read the recipe I decided [...]
