As you know, I’m a big fan of the two-pound bags of frozen shrimp my grocery store sells. Shrimp are so healthy and versatile and easy to cook – I just think they’re a no-brainer for easy weeknight dinners. However, there is one thing I don’t love about those two-pound bags of shrimp: the $15-per-bag … Continue reading
I have to say, I think this is my number-one, most go-to dinner recipe. We just LOVE this salmon. In fact, it’s actually sort of a problem – sometimes I’ll find another salmon recipe that looks good and swear I’m going to make it, but then I just can’t seem to buy salmon and fix … Continue reading
Oh my, oh my, did we have a lovely weekend. Saturday’s weather was perfect and we took full advantage – went for a run, ate brunch at our favorite brunch place and sat outside, took a stroll to the park for a little picnic. Basically we kicked Saturday’s butt. And then on Sunday, the weather … Continue reading
The bad news about this potpie is that it does not a pretty picture make. But the great news is that it is de.lic.ious. Because I like trying new recipes so much, I don’t make very many things more than once. This, however, I’ve made four times in the last year. And – yes – … Continue reading
This pizza has been on my radar for a loooooong time. I saw this on the Pioneer Woman’s blog several months ago, and I wanted to devour it that very second. And given the fact that I’m not huge on red meat OR red onions, that was saying something. I managed to hold off making … Continue reading
I had pretty low expectations for this meal. My husband requested spaghetti, which isn’t my fave, and I thought this recipe looked…interesting. But not necessarily delicious. And the idea of “mozzarella-stuffed meatballs” sounded time-consuming. Boy, was I wrong on all counts. I threw this together in about 10 minutes (plus 20 to cook), and we … Continue reading
Whenever I talk to someone who’s a vegetarian, I’m always curious to know how strict a vegetarian they are. My only real experience with vegetarianism was two years ago when I gave up meat for Lent. For me, I didn’t eat any meat or seafood, but I also didn’t go out of my way to … Continue reading
I’m not sure why, but whenever Friday night rolls around, I always seem to crave pizza. This undoubtedly goes back to my childhood, when I would spend Friday nights eating an individual cheese pizza from Gambino’s and watching Full House and Step by Step – a.k.a., the highlight of my entire week. Now, if we … Continue reading
So I sort of have a hangup about soup. The hangup is that soup is not a meal. Sometimes I’ll find a soup recipe that sounds good, but I’ll never get around to making it, because, well, soup’s not a meal. Even so, I make an exception for this soup. Partly because it’s really easy … Continue reading
When you know someone really well, you usually end up knowing their dessert preferences. I mean, all desserts are delicious, but most people end up preferring certain types over others. Some people are chocolate lovers. Some love mint. My husband is guaranteed to like anything with peanut butter, and everyone in our family knows that … Continue reading
