Sometimes meals happen because you are craving an ingredient, sometimes they happen because it’s what’s on your meal plan, other times they are born out of necessity. This Pasta with Ricotta, Lemon, and Spinach was one of those times. I needed to make lunch and I just didn’t want a sandwich and we also didn’t have any leftovers. … Read more
I don’t really consider myself a picky eater (some might disagree) but I am super picky about coleslaw. Have you ever tried some flavorless, soggy, mushy, coleslaw in your life? I have. Cabbage is crisp and delicious – so my pick is Pineapple Coleslaw! As I tasted a lot of soggy coleslaw in my life, I wasn’t … Read more

Cold Asian-Inspired Asparagus is a delicious asparagus dish does not disappoint in the flavor realm. It is very quickly cooked then plunged into ice water before meeting a marinade of soy sauce and sesame oil, along with some other components.

Before I posted Creamy Chicken Enchiladas I had to look back through my posting archive to make sure that I hadn’t posted this before. I was surprised to find that I hadn’t because it is one of the few meals that we eat often. I always use the same recipe for chicken enchiladas and that’s … Read more
The crispy browned cheese usually graces the top. The warm, gooey center…divine. I had seen Spinach Artichoke Baked Pasta first on the Cooking channel and saw just a glimpse of this dish at the end of an episode of the Rachael Ray show.

I didn’t need a better reason than that. 😉 But now I’m much wiser (ha!) and have come to realize that the combination of coconut, chocolate, and nuts is genius.

Egg and Sausage Strata is a casserole that has serious sentimental value for many families. Haven’t you had it every Thanksgiving and/or Christmas? I can remember waking up to the smell of this and being so excited. It was the only time of year that we had this. It’s very simple, but it never fails to please. I don’t … Read more
