Problem: Mike loves “Chinese” takeout. My stomach can;t handle the grease. Solution: make it at home. I made it this time with a lightly battered fried chicken, but I think next time I’ll skip the frying all together. It will 1) save time and 2) be just a tad bit healthier. Using low sodium chicken [...]

Penne with Tomato Sauce and Baked Ricotta

After making spanakopita, I was left with a mostly full container of ricotta. I had bookmarked this recipe a while ago and decided to give it a try. After all, I needed to use the rest of the ricotta up! I loved the way this dish turned out. It’s a sweet tomato sauce and the [...]
Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza
Posted in Food, tagged basil, cheese, garlic, main dish, onion, pizza, vegetarian on Monday, August 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Explosion of flavor. Seriously. I had no idea that so much awesomeness could exist on a pizza. This pie was definitely a labor of love. I spent all day making the pizza sauce and the crust and then carefully topping everything so that it was just right. And even though it took a while to make, [...]
Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan
Posted in Food, tagged bread, chicken, main dish, meat on Monday, August 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I bought a huge tub of plain, non-fat yogurt to use in some dish I planned on making. Then, I couldn’t remember what dish I wanted to make. Does this ever happen to you?? It happens to me way too frequently. I tried to fix this by writing down the meals I have planned on [...]

I am so excited to share this dish with you guys because I finally got to use basil from my garden!! I am still so proud of myself for keeping something alive. This dish is a wonderful summer dish. It’s light and requires minimal time in front of the hot stove. In fact, it requires [...]
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Posted in Food, tagged main dish, meat, pork, sandwich, slow cooker on Thursday, August 4, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Folks, I’ve never made pulled pork before in my life. In fact, I’ve probably only eaten it a couple of times. I don’t know why the idea of making pulled pork got stuck in my head, but I’m so glad it did. And I’m so glad I didn’t ignore that little voice, because oh my [...]
Pad Thai

It’s just like take-out. But better. I seriously can’t get enough of this stuff. I never bothered making it at home because I thought Mike hated it. Boy, was I wrong. I’m not sure why I ever thought that, but I tentatively brought up making Pad Thai for dinner and he enthusiastically agreed to it. [...]
Israeli Couscous Salad

Ah yes, another couscous salad. As much as I loved this recipe with grilled vegetables, I wanted to try something else. I wasn’t quite sure what to make, and I really didn’t want to go to the grocery store. I used this as an opportunity to use up some pantry and fridge items. Mostly, I [...]
Cajun Chicken Pasta

I’ll admit it – I’m kind of absentminded. I make food, take pictures, and forget about them. By them time I find the pictures again, I have a hard time remembering what the dish was and what I put in it. Today, I realized just how many of these dishes go un-posted and now I’m [...]
Greek Pasta Salad
Posted in Food, tagged bell pepper, cheese, main dish, mushroom, onion, pasta, quick and easy, tomato, vegetarian on Thursday, July 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Yum. This pasta salad is one of my faves. It’s quick and easy and completely from scratch. That’s right folks, no bottled salad dressing over here. I think the hardest part of this was using a Swiss Army knife to open the can of olives… One day we will find our can openers. I refuse [...]
