Feeling a little cooped up? Don’t feel stir crazy, GET stir crazy…in the kitchen! Over the last couple of weeks, WE (yes we, my husband helped) have been cooking up a storm. At first, I wanted to clean out the fridge so we can make room for more fresh quarantine groceries. I also wanted to […]

The Grand Finale…Are you sick of zucchini yet? NEVER! Zucchini Roll-Ups This zucchini dish is really easy BUT there is a catch! After I thinly sliced the zucchini with my mandolin, I placed them on wire cooling racks to sit out for awhile. I sprinkled a pinch of salt all over them and let them […]

I don’t know what the heck was going on in October many, many moons ago but it seems that 90% of the people I know have July birthdays. Therefore, this post is for you! As much as I LOVE to cook…most of you know baking is not my favorite. I do however, love the outcome […]

When I am feeling nostalgic or wanting comfort food, freezer finds are always my go-to. Everything is in my freezer. Pasta sauces, soups, meat, homemade pizzas, vegetables, fruits, TEQUILA, my list goes on… I am a huge fan of not wasting food so if I am not going to eat something before it’s prime, it […]

Round Two… Continuing with the layered theme, zucchini lasagna! I used my homemade marinara and a pesto I made with some fennel and spinach for an additional LAYER of flavor. This lasagna was so easy and I didn’t even miss the pasta. I love that zucchini is such a great substitute for noodles, plus I […]

Around our home, we LOVE our take out from Asian restaurants. It’s something I do NOT make well and I find it is a lot of ingredients that I just never have on hand. It can be time consuming to get the depth of flavor that I want and to be honest, it still never […]

Crock-Pot to the Rescue When in doubt, throw it all in the pot! Next up, we have two comfort slow cooker meals. One chicken, one beef. The great thing about the slow cooker meals is the fact you can prepare your meals and portion them out to freeze. I love the crock-pot because I can […]

This sheet pan dinner was worthy of it’s own holiday. Just sayin’ It was Cinco de Mayo and we didn’t even realize it thanks to never knowing what day it is during Covid19. However, we still had an intuition to make shredded beef nachos. The human psyche is incredible. So, we didn’t get to miss […]

Today is not about any recipes, or tips, or tricks. Today is simply about my husband. It is his birthday, we have nothing planned besides binge watching our shows and walking the dog. Shockingly, we don’t even have any fabulous birthday food planned for the day. Sometimes, no plan is necessary and you just gotta […]

I’d like to still stick to my theme of my first post…VEGETABLES! What else can we do with wonderful veggies? SALADS! What are we going to do with those salads? GRILL ’em! Personally, I had no idea there were such things as grilled salads, then I tried one. Holy cow, I mean…holy kale…so YUM. Grilling […]
