I don’t have a ton of pasta recipes here, because frankly we just don’t eat it very often. The other day though, I had a super specific craving for spinach artichoke dip. I did some digging online to see how I could turn this into a respectable dinner (don’t get me wrong I’d certainly plow … More Spinach Artichoke Pasta
Maybe it’s just a symptom of the times, but I’m typically not a potato-unless-it’s-a-french-fry-fan… and all the sudden I’ve been craving potatoes in all different ways! I remembered eating frozen cheese & potato pierogi as a kid and how buttery and comforting they were. I wanted to recreate them, but honestly didn’t feel like going … More Easy Pierogi Style Wontons
I don’t know about you guys, but my weekday lunches are typically whatever sad leftovers remain from the previous night’s dinner. Every once in awhile though, I make something for dinner that I’m pumped to have the next day for lunch. This easy Greek lentil salad is one of those things. In fact, it actually … More Greek Lentil Salad
YOU GUYS. I have to apologize in advance, because this is NOT a good idea. As someone who will purposely book a flight connection in Chicago in order to get my hands on some Garrett’s chicago mix…finding out how to make my own is possibly the worst slash best thing that could have ever happened. … More Chicago Mix Popcorn (Cheddar + Caramel Corn)
Like many of you (I’m assuming), I have a list of “to make” recipes that’s about a mile long at any given time. The list spans from appetizers to desserts and full dinners to cocktails, and the range of healthy to unhealthy is fully covered. When it comes time to decide what to tackle next, … More Savory Bacon Gruyere Monkey Bread
I’m back! If you saw on my instagram feed, I recently got married 🙂 I didn’t anticipate taking a break from the blog, but wedding planning (especially in the last few weeks leading up to the big day!) kind of overtook my life for a little while. I’m happy to say Andrew and I had … More Sweet and Spicy Pepperoni Pizza
Considering this coming weekend in the Northeast is about to be pretty cold and rainy, I figured I’d share a recipe for this super simple french onion soup. It’s not fancy, but it definitely gets the job done! In a heavy-bottom pot, add in olive oil and then onions and turn the heat to medium. Stir … More Easy French Onion Soup
Football is officially less than one month away! My fantasy teams are being reactivated and Aaron Rodgers’ brother is winning the Bachelorette. I don’t actually watch the bachelorette, but just bear with me 😛 Football season is basically the only excuse I need to eat anything and everything delicious. I saw this chex mix recipe and thought … More Parmesan Ranch Chex Mix
Pretty much anytime I’m in a mall, I’m about 50% focused on shopping. The rest of my brain is reserved for locating the nearest Auntie Anne’s and ordering pretzel nuggets with cheese sauce almost instantly (even better when I can sniff it out). If I had known, all these years, that I could make an … More Soft Pretzel Nuggets with Cheese Sauce
I read a post on Smitten Kitchen (my go-to cooking blog, for the 1 person out there who isn’t familiar) awhile back, and she basically stole all the words out of my mouth regarding the cooking of eggs. She mentioned that for all of her life, up to this point, she’s avoided any sort of … More Spaghetti with Spicy Breadcrumbs and Crispy Egg
While everyone around the U.S. is happy that Spring has begun, apparently Boston didn’t get the memo, considering we woke up to about 5 inches of snow. So, before I get too excited about all the spring foods and my garden which will be overflowing with herbs in just a few short…months, I wanted to … More Roasted Carrots with Feta and Pomegranates
Since my beloved Packers aren’t going to the Super Bowl, and the Patriots (Andrew’s team) aren’t either…it looks like I’m going to have to put all of my energy and focus into planning an epic feast! Fortunately for me, spending the day prepping and eating food sounds way better than being stressed about the outcome … More Cheesy Sausage Cups
I apologize for coming into the new year filled with butter and cheese, but while everyone else is posting salads and smoothies…it’s not the worst to stand out from the crowd! I’ve had this quiche on my ‘to-make’ list for a couple of years, and while I was with my family over the holidays, it was … More Cheddar Bacon Quiche with Hash Brown Crust
I debated whether or not to share this recipe. In fact, I don’t even know if you can call it a recipe…since it’s basically just a few ingredients layered in a baking dish. Then I thought about how delicious it was and said, yup, it’s a winner. So today I’m sharing an extremely straightforward and … More Easy Bean and Cheese Dip
If you asked me my favorite cuisine, It would certainly be difficult to pick one, but I’d land on Mexican or French, maybe Greek…unlike most people, Italian doesn’t rank in my top 5. I rarely eat pasta, and red sauce is something I crave only once every few months. However, the one dish I find … More Very Veggie White Lasagna
