I saw this recipe in an All You magazine weeks ago and it has bounced around from clutter pile to clutter pile since the day I ripped it out. A week ago I bought one of those bargain bags of bananas that snags me every time. Even so, it still took me another week to […]
One of my all time favorite comfort foods is a good homemade lasagna. I’m not talking freezer-to-oven homemade, it’s all about the day of labored love that goes into it. Honestly those no boil lasagna noodles suit me just fine, as long as it’s layered with gooey cheesy-ness and a nice fresh tomato meat sauce. […]
Two things have been happening over here lately. I’ve been hugely inspired (and feeling a little inadequate) by a whole bunch of super talented bloggers posting tasty treats that make me drool. I’ve been eating Girl Scout cookies for breakfast…(and lunch) for the past month. So to take care of both of these problems at […]
I really can’t even tell you how many chicken and pasta dishes I have made. It seems like those two items are our trusty dinner go-tos. We really never seem to get tired of the rotation though…ok so never say never, but there’s enough variety to keep us happy. It’s a very rare occasion that […]
I absolutely love Italian food. Growing up, the only Italian food we ever ate was from restaurants (the best) so I had a very warped sense of what Italian cooking truly was. It was only when I had just gotten into cooking that I discovered how satisfying and comforting the cuisine really is. I started […]
We love cheesecake in this house. It took me years to develop the perfect recipe; not too gritty, not too sweet, a perfect amount of tang. Then I lost the recipe for a year – it was a super depressing, cheesecakeless year. Sometimes, though, people don’t wanna wait 4-6 hours for a cheesecake to cool […]

The name doesn’t do much for this little side dish. It’s really sauteed mushrooms with herbs and cream…that sounds a little better…perhaps. No matter how you write, these things are tasty. In honor of James Beard’s birthday, here is the easiest, tastiest way to serve mushrooms on toast… James Beard was a wonderfully talented chef, […]
Something happens when you know summer is right around the corner. The days are getting longer, the air is fresher and the temperatures are rising. Pretty much a recipe to do anything except stay in the kitchen and cook all afternoon. This is about the time I start picking recipes that don’t involve the oven […]
I like to read a lot. Not always like smart, grown-up reading. More like blog-stalking and whatnot. Luchia at Luchia Cooks is one of those people I visit often (hey there!) and I feel like we’re old friends with only an ocean between us. She makes some good lookin’ stuff, but there was this one recipe […]
