Three weeks from today I will be on a plane with my Hubby headed across the ocean to live in Italy for a few months. Let's just say that I've got LOTS to do between now and then, but I don't want to skimp on home cooking either. That's where this recipe comes in. Spinach...
Main Course
Cubano Sandwiches
Truth be told, sandwiches are probably my favorite food. (Don't tell pizza I said that.) They're so versatile: they're great for any meal of the day, hot or cold, no dishes, portable, the list goes on. If you had a chance to see the new movie, Chef, by Jon Favreau, then you know exactly why I...
Baked Cilantro-Lime Chicken and Rice
One of my favorite texts that my Hubby send me is "Wanna meet for lunch?" I always say yes, followed by the obligatory response of "When and where?" He almost always picks a Mexican Grill restaurant near his office. I have come to love burrito bowls, or naked burritos, or earmuffs, or whatever you want...
Grilled Asparagus and Ricotta Pizza
I don't know about you guys, but we had the most wonderful weekend ever this Memorial Day. Hubby returned from China after a week and a half, and we went straight from the airport at 10 pm Up North to our cabin. The weather was incredible. Sunshine, warm temperatures, and no rain. Despite the lovely...
One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta
After a long weekend of fun in the sun, an easy weeknight meal is just what we need to settle back in to the swing of things. Fresh basil, juicy red tomatoes, garlic, onion, and linguine are all you need to make this One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta. Just cook, stir, and then enjoy. The results...
Homemade Hamburger Buns
Happy Friday! It's the beginning of Memorial Day weekend and that means, at least in these parts, that it's time to pack up and go camping for the weekend. Grilling, campfires, beach time, fishing, picnics, and all that fun stuff that camping entails. I'm sure that more than a few of you will be enjoying a...
Grilled Pizza
Around this time of year in Michigan once all the snow has melted away and the weather takes a turn for the better, everyone gets sort of giddy about the wonderful sunshine and milder temperatures. You can't go anywhere without talking about the lovely days that we earned by surviving another harsh winter. Farmer's markets start opening...
Deep-Dish Quiche Lorraine
Now this is my kind of breakfast-for-dinner. Quiche Lorraine may sound lady-like, but this deep-dish version is fit for even the hungriest fella in your life. My Hubby loved it. He even brought leftovers to work for his lunch, and determined that the recipe should have a more manly name since everyone was asking what...
Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry
Hubby loves spicy noodles. I love chicken, and anything/everything involving peanut butter. This recipe was a match made in heaven. Just like us. (Swoon) This recipe for Thai Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry is quick and easy, and bursting with flavor. Feel free to adapt the amount of chili sauce to your own preferences. If you make...
Grilled Steak with Creamy Mushroom Gorgonzola Sauce
There are a few simple truths around our house when it comes to food. We love food. We love trying all sorts of new foods, even. However, deep down, we are both meat-and-potatoes people to our very core. We are steak people...medium-rare steak people. When we find ourselves in a quandry over what we would...
