Every week or so I ask my husband what kind of cookie he’d like for the coming week. His inevitable answer: Chocolate chip cookies. Fortunately a) he’s happy to try other types of cookies in addition to the chocolate chip cookie. And b) there are a million different chocolate chip...
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...
Best. Pie. Ever. Brian absolutely loves pecan pie. When his birthday rolled around a few weeks ago, and I asked him what he wanted me to make for dinner, he said “Pecan pie”. I replied “Ok, I can make that for dessert. What do you want for dinner?” … “Pecan pie.”...
One of Brian’s favorite breakfasts/snacks/desserts is granola with vanilla yogurt. I’ve been wanting to make some homemade granola for while, but when his favorite granola was discontinued, I decided I should really make some for him. He was a big fan!

While Brian and I have never been football kinda people, we enjoy the Superbowl. I like it for the commercials, I admit it. (I think Brian secretly likes the commercials best too, but he’d never admit it 🙂 ) This was the very first year since we’ve been married that...
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...
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...
