Cornbread Hamburger Pie

Forget about all those awesome kitchen items I’ve given you. Forget about every time I babysat your kids. Forget about all the times I told you you’re pretty. Forget about [...]

Most Saturday nights, after the kids are in bed, Paul will turn on baseball, if there’s a game, or we’ll attempt to make a dent in our TiVo lineup – [...]

Lemon Cream Chicken

Baked Maple-Mustard Chicken

23 comments March 27, 2012

This was making the rounds on Pinterest (what isn’t these days?!)…impossible to know who to credit anymore for the idea, when everyone you follow is writing about the same thing. [...]

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

23 comments March 15, 2012

I make a lot of rice. So much so, that while at the market last week, I passed by some insane endcap display with 50 pound bags of rice stacked [...]

Chunky Clam Chowder

16 comments January 19, 2012

(This recipe was originally posted a few years ago, but it’s worth further attention in case you missed it!) It was a little slow coming this year, but I would [...]

Salsa Verde Chicken Bake

27 comments January 5, 2012

It’s 2012. How many checks have you already messed up by writing 2011 on them? Oh, that’s right…I’m the only one still using a checkbook. What can I say? I’m [...]

Sautéed Chicken with Raisins and Feta

You know what I love? A good hair day. (And since that almost never happens, when it does happen, it’s actually a great hair day.) I also love when Haley [...]

Spicy Pork Asparagus Stir Fry

18 comments May 17, 2011

It’s 80 degrees. Then it’s 60. Then 80. Then 45 with rain and hail. Who can plan a menu when Spring is so fickle? So, instead of exerting too much [...]

Spring Vegetable Couscous with Chicken

28 comments April 21, 2011

Well, waddya know. It’s spring. I barely even wore a scarf or hat this winter, so the changing of the seasons wasn’t that obvious. But I see it now. We [...]

Pork Ribs with Black Bean Garlic Sauce, for The Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! This year is dedicated to the Rabbit, which is a symbol for mercy, elegance, and worship of beauty. People born during the years 1927, 1939, 1951, [...]

Individual Salsa Turkey Loaves

24 comments May 24, 2010

Let’s face it. Meatloaf just doesn’t photograph well. (The food, not the performer…although I think it’s safe to say that the camera isn’t very kind to him either.) It also [...]

Spinach and Feta Casserole

14 comments March 29, 2010

Dear Minnesota, What? Don’t look at me like that. You saw the signs. You knew it was coming. And someone has to step up to the plate and admit that [...]

Cranberry Chicken

17 comments February 22, 2010

This is like an old friend. A good one. But one that you haven’t seen in ages. You almost forgot about her. Then something sparks your memory and you decide [...]

Sweet Potato, Corn and Jalapeno Bisque

26 comments November 2, 2009

I run across so many recipes every month that interest me. I tear (or print) them out, and set them aside, knowing I will eventually get to them. I have [...]

Balsamic Lemon Chicken

Ever feel like you have to watch a lot of sub-par movies before you get to one that really floats your boat? That’s how I also feel about chicken dishes. [...]

Hawaiian Shrimp Stir Fry

21 comments July 20, 2009

Sausage and Bean Mash

12 comments March 15, 2009

For those kitchen-challenged (you know who you are!), this is a dish for you. I had lost my cooking mojo recently and needed something simple, without a necessary trip to [...]
