It was once said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ and this dish is the embodiment of that. A few nights ago I was home with a hungry child and a hungry husband (and who are we kidding, yours truely was ravenous too) and the dinner hour was rapidly...
Chicken Marsala is one of my favorite dinners. I have two other Marsala recipes on my blog which I liked quite a lot, but every time I make Marsala I’ve thought to myself that something seemed to be missing. I finally decided to throw together something of my own and wow, this...
It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, the temperatures are dropping. And the cold and flu season is upon us. Just ask my 4 month old, Madeline. Thankfully, just in time for this nasty illness season, I discovered this recipe for chicken noodle soup- the age...
This recipe comes from another of my ridiculous library book stack. I’d been going through the cookbooks and marking pages with sticky notes and I actually bypassed this one. Brian’s always telling me that he doesn’t like lemon, so a chicken flavored with lemon would be something he’d NEVER want...
Ok. I have a bad Foodie confession. Are you ready to mock me? I have a ridiculous fear of raw meat. It’s bad. Every time I make something involving a meat product, I have to have Brian clean it and cut it up for me. The only time I can make an...
On our very first date, Brian and I went rollerblading (and I fell down a hill and almost got a concussion. Klassy, I tell you) then we went out to dinner at Brian’s favorite hangout and I, being a girl on a first date, debated ordering a teeny tiny side...
When we first got married Brian and I used to go out to dinner at the same place pretty often, and we almost always ordered the same thing: buffalo chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, a year or two later they discontinued the item on the menu and we were left wanting. Thankfully,...
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...
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...
I adore pasta. It’s easily my favorite food group (I firmly believe it deserves it’s own place in the food groups. Fruits, vegetables, ice cream, pasta. My world is complete). Yet I have to confess that I’ve always hated stuffed shells. I must have had some really nasty ones at...
