So it’s National Pasta Day! How cool is it that we have a day for that? So of course I had to feature, you know, pasta. I got invited by Classico to try out their new Creamy Spinach and Parmesan Pasta Sauce, along with a fabulous pasta pot, a swanky new Oxo grater, and some […]
I usually try to feature gluten free recipes on Friday that are adaptations of stuff that’s usually not gluten free. This dish is not one of those. It’s a straight up normal kind of dish that happens to be gluten free. It was DEAD EASY and FAST for a weeknight dinner–and as I have had […]
In keeping with the whole one-skillet meal thing lately, I opted to adapt my recipe for Pulled Pork Burrito Skillet to work with some leftover roast chicken and a jar of salsa verde. The end result was delicious and easy, from fridge to table in fifteen minutes. Now THAT’s what I call a week night […]
One of the things that we’ve missed in our household since going gluten free is proper burritos. I have found a couple of different gluten free flour tortillas recipes that are quite tasty, but like most gluten free bread type products, they tear very easily, which doesn’t make for a good burrito cover. When someone […]
My standby easy, summer, I-don’t-know-what’s-for-dinner food is kebabs. It’s so simple to just grab some kind of meat, whatever veggies are in the fridge, mix up a marinade, throw them on a skewer, and toss them on the grill. And hardly any dishes! Plus, they’re usually quite lean and a great way to take advantage […]
It’s barbeque season. Now I am seriously opinionated about barbeque (most folks are when it comes to barbeque). I’m from Mississippi where pulled pork rules the day, but I’ve got Texas family, so I was raised on brisket. Sadly, the latter is not cheap. Pork shoulder, however, goes on special regularly at my local grocery […]
Traditional stuffed peppers use rice and tend to have a bit of an Italian flare in our household. But I got this marvelous BRICK of feta from Sam’s Club on my last trip and I decided to adapt my recipe to be a little more Greek in nature. The switch to quinoa made for a […]
I really don’t care for tuna. Mainly because my exposure to it has been limited to the stuff in a can which is just…blah. But I’ve gotten into lots of different kind of fish this year and when I saw yellow fin tuna steaks on sale at the grocery, I picked them up. Of course […]
You know that old Campbell’s soup recipe where you simmer pork chops in cream of mushroom soup and add rice? That concept was kind of my inspiration for what to do with these gorgeous pork loin chops I had. Except with salsa. And black beans. And a chipotle pepper for some heat. The end result […]
This is one of those “I gotta use up x, y, z…what can I do with it?” recipes. I had a huge thing if part skim ricotta that was about to go bad. Part had gone toward my vegetable lasagna. Part went to my first ever attempt at chocolate mousse (which tasted good but did […]
