Tuscan Bean Soup with Shrimp
We made this soup for K (the husband) and his grandma this past weekend, and it was a huge hit! I NEVER make new things that we haven’t tried out for guests, but, since it came from The Pioneer Woman I figured it’d be okay. I have yet to make anything of hers that wasn’t a huge […]
White Chicken Chili
Being the picky person that I am, I was quite hesitant the first time I tried White Chili. In fact, I think I only tried it because I was sick, and soo hungry, and anything that was soup, and not from a can, was high on my list. I was oh so pleasantly surprised that […]
Chipotle Quinoa Sweet Potato Tacos with Pomegranate Cranberry Salsa
YUM! Seriously, that’s the only way I can describe these. Before marrying K (the husband) there is no way in the world I ever would have tried this, let alone willingly made it. I’m loving the new foods we are trying, and how much I’m broadening my palette. This meal is amazing, but definitely spicy, so be […]
Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
So, I’m usually not a fan of fettuccine, considering how I’m lactose intolerant, but I will make an exception for this recipe every time. K (the husband) agrees, and this is the only Alfredo sauce recipe I will be using from here on out. Seriously, it is sooo good. Huge perk: It reheats oh so well.
Mom’s Chili
My mom has turned me into a snood in the Chili department. This is pretty much the easiest chili recipe ever, and one that K (the husband) and I love! It’s a staple in our diets, as with work, school, and everything else going on we never seem to have enough time, so this quick, tasty meal […]
Cauliflower Soup
I generally only like rich, creamy soups, but K (the husband) had mentioned that one thing he really missed about his mom’s cooking was all of her soups. They had soups quite frequently, and not only creamy soups, so, in an effort to expand our soup repertoire I’ve been trying out new soups, and surprisingly enough, I LOVED […]
Grilled Hawaiian Pork Chops
I am usually not a fan of pork, and rarely ever cook it because, well, it’s pork. It is so good, we both loved it! I used a large zucchini, not a small one, so there were more vegetables than the recipe called for, but it made it that much better! It’s served over rice, […]
Homemade Mac & Cheese
In college I minored in culinary arts – I’ve always loved to cook, and always been quite good at it. However, I have never, and I mean never, been able to master box macaroni and cheese. I’m not even kidding you, when I try to make it I end up spitting it out and sulking […]
