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 [...]

Tortellini with Basil and Tomatoes

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

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 [...]
Sweet and Spicy Chicken
Posted in Food, tagged chicken, main dish, meat, onion, quick and easy on Saturday, June 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I love spicy foods and I’ve found out that my spice tolerance is a lot higher than 99% of the people I know. That said, I try to stay away from making spicy dishes since I”m a horrible judge of spice levels. What I think is medium spiciness ends up being a light-a-normal-person’s-mouth-on-fire spiciness. Oops. This [...]
Pepper Chicken
Posted in Food, tagged bell pepper, chicken, main dish, meat, onion on Thursday, June 2, 2011 | 2 Comments »
There was a Chinese restaurant in Madison that had this pepper chicken that I loved. It was spicy and I loved that the chicken wasn’t fried. I haven’t had luck finding a comparable pepper chicken in Appleton, WI. So, I decided to make my own. It turned out pretty darn well and I know for [...]
Spinach and Feta Pasta
Posted in Food, tagged cheese, main dish, mushroom, onion, pasta, quick and easy, tomato, vegetarian on Monday, May 30, 2011 | 1 Comment »
This dish is really similar to the penne dish I posted about last Monday here. The taste was completely different though. Funny how a switch in cheese and a couple additional ingredients can make such a big difference, huh? Spinach and Feta Pasta 8 ounces whole wheat pasta of your choice 1 tablespoon olive oil [...]
