I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...]

I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

I love dinners like this! I had pork chops defrosted but wasn't sure how I was going to make them. So I decided to pull out some pantry items and just experiment. Boy did I get "the face" from both husband and child! The Little Guy especially had that there's-no-way-I'm-eating-that expression as he sat down at [...]

I whipped this up the other night for dinner in a bit of desperation. I really haven't grocery shopped since before Thanksgiving and even then I was only buying stuff for the holiday. So my stocks are down. Once the leftovers were gone I really had nothing left to make for dinner. I scoured the [...]

I have confessed my dislike of mayo many times. Most recently on my Garden Tuna Salad with Feta idea. Unfortunately this dislike of one particular condiment has kept me from enjoying some pretty tasty traditional sandwich salads like tuna and chicken. Honesty, I never understood peoples fascinations with these deli favorites. What the big deal [...]

Scallops were on sale! Scallops were on sale! I love when scallops are on sale! :) I rarely buy them but they are by far, my favorite seafood. There just so delicate, sweet and easy to prepare. Grilled, seared, baked, scampi-ed, kabob-ed, you name it they cook up fast and absorb flavors easily. Last [...]

Long day today. I snuck in a yoga class before coming home from work and let the husband and child fend for themselves. Translation: fast food. :) For me, I pulled out a chicken breast this morning so it would be defrosted when I got home from work. I had no idea what I [...]

This weeks video is a repost of my new favorite dish, Fried Bulgur with Peas and Pomegranate. I wanted to get you guys a real recipes with nutritional info instead of just the idea I posted a few weeks back. Here's the "official" recipe. 1 cup cooked bulgur - preferably prepared with veggies [...]

Update: I posted the official recipe with a video, click here to check it out! Remember on my about page how I mentioned sometimes I just cook for me. Well, this is one of those times. Without having to please the husband or the toddler I hit the ground running with leftovers I found in the [...]

I almost didn't post this because it was one of those quick things I just threw together in shear desperation and even though I jotted down the directions I just thought it wasn't polished enough to share. Then I mentioned it to my Mother-in-law this weekend. She said it sounded good. So I reconsidered. I [...]

How do I say this? Let's see. My video has no audio. That's right ladies and gentleman, my computer crashed while rendering the video and unfortunately the audio track was corrupted. Fortunately the actual video was intact. I was slightly upset as I do these videos in “real time” with no prep, no editing [...]

As I say in the video, this is an old favorite of mine. It's fast, it's easy and it's good! ;~P The toddler had 3 bowls!! (well toddler bowls so that was about a full serving). He kept saying, “more, pwease.” The husband, well, he ate it and he likes it but remember he's not a [...]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when the husband isn’t home for dinner. Gosh, that sounds horrible, doesn’t it? I should say I love having a day now and again that I can experiment freely in the kitchen without worrying about pleasing anyone but myself (and [...]
