As much as I love to cook, its sometimes nice when Brian takes over the cooking for the evening. Even better, when he makes some as fantastic as this chili! I love finding great crockpot and freezer-friendly recipes. This is also one of those foods that gets even better after freezing- something about all those [...]

Brian and I are often in need of fast but tasty dinner options. What with 2 kids, jobs, and long commutes each day we unfortunately don’t often have time in the evenings to make the time-consuming but awesome dinners I’d like to prepare. Thankfully these sloppy joes are both delicious and quick and easy. It’s [...]

Every year when fall rolls around, Brian heads out to his family’s cabin for deer hunting. For the last several years when he’s shot one we end up cooking the venison in the same way- pan fried in olive oil, covered in saltines and egg. It’s amazing, but sometimes a girl needs a little variety [...]

Also known as Sausage, spinach, and roasted cherry tomato pasta. But that’s a super-wordy name. A mouthful (get it. food? mouthful? I’m hilarious, I know. I crack me up)
Brian’s Aunt Pam is just one of those women- Her home is gorgeous and always immaculately clean, she makes 5 star quality food without a recipe (and [...]

It all started when Brian said “what are we going to do with the chicken breast in the fridge?” It ended with one of the best dinners we’ve had in a while. So good, in fact, that I’m making it again this week. Even Becca went for 2 full, huge slices!
Ingredients: Amounts are to your [...]

I’ve been looking for a 100% whole grain pizza crust for quite some time. I love, love, LOVE this crust, and I’ve often made it w/ half wheat bread flour & half white, but the 100% wheat version was bleh. When I saw this recipe, I saved it immediately and it did not disappoint.
My only change [...]

Remember how I said that I used to not like stuffed shells? Well, now I can’t get enough of them!
I concocted these when I had a package of sausage out of the freezer that I had intended on using for something else which fell threw. The spinach needed to be used so I dreamed up [...]

Homemade marinara is something I’ve wanted to make for years- since well before my kitchen and I started getting along better. This sauce did not disappoint! As a matter of fact, while eating this for dinner we decided that we will not be buying jarred sauce anymore! This made easily enough for at least 2 [...]

I’ve wanted to try making it for quite a while now- in fact I think I have 4 or 5 different recipes for it saved- but it looked so compicated. I finally decided to give it a try and I was surprised at how easy it was! Yes, it was a little more time consuming [...]
