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...
A few weeks ago I asked my almost-3 year old, Rebecca, what kind of cupcakes she wanted for her birthday party. She looked thoughtful for a moment then said “Keira [her friend at daycare] had white cake at her birthday party. I think I want chocolate peanut butter cupcakes”. I...
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...

While flipping through yet another of my library copies of Ina Garten’s cookbooks, I came across this recipe for beef filet and gorgonzola sauce and thought “wow, that looks good”. But we very rarely buy beef steaks. Rarely as in never. I don’t think I’ve ever once made a steak...
