White Peach Blueberry Cobbler

Posted in Food, tagged , , , on Thursday, August 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Cobbler vs. Ice Cream. Spoiler alert – ice cream wins. I tried my darndest to get a picture of the cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. For some reason, I thought I would be quick enough to get one photo of it before the ice cream turned into a puddle. I even tried taking the [...]

Marga-Daiquiri-Screw-Aloda-On the Beach

Posted in Food, tagged , on Thursday, August 11, 2011 | 17 Comments »

What?! Yeah, you read it right. Marga-daiquiri-screw-aloda-on the beach. What is this you ask? Well, if you’re a country fan you may have heard Jerrod Niemann’s “One More Drinkin’ Song”. If you’re not a country fan then 1) shame on you and 2) you can find the video here. In the song, he sings “… [...]

Israeli Couscous Salad

Posted in Food, tagged , , , , , , on Sunday, July 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

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 [...]

Greek Pasta Salad

Posted in Food, tagged , , , , , , , , 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 [...]

Cherry Limeade, All Grown Up

Posted in Food, tagged , on Sunday, July 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »

Mike turned the big 2-3 at the end of June and I was itching to throw a party. It would be our first party at our house and I couldn’t think of a better time to have it. I had a whole menu planned out, complete with 4 desserts, but I couldn’t decide on what [...]

Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

Posted in Food, tagged , , , on Sunday, June 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I love fruit crisps. They’re pretty idiot-proof, meaning I don’t need to rely on a recipe to make it taste good. I was so excited to use the first batch of rhubarb that my in laws’ garden yielded*, especially since the rhubarb that we transplanted into our garden was looking pretty pitiful. I kept waiting [...]

Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Posted in Food, tagged , , , , 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 [...]

Spinach and Feta Pasta

Posted in Food, tagged , , , , , , , 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 [...]

Goat Cheese and Spinach Penne

Posted in Food, tagged , , , , , , on Monday, May 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »

This dish is super filling and easy to make. I mean, what could be easier than cooking up a dish in less than 10 minutes? Not to mention it only used 2 pots (and one colander). Ever since it warmed up I’ve been craving dishes with fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to make this again [...]
