Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake

With lots of exciting things going on in my life, I don’t have as much time to spend in the kitchen. So this past weekend, I made a few meals that would be perfect for freezing and reheating on the nights I didn’t have the time to make a full meal. I searched on my … Continue reading →

Banana Boat

I spent the majority of my time yesterday in the kitchen cooking up some freezer friendly meals that will be perfect for the nights I don’t feel like cooking. These nights are rare but a healthy, homemade meal from the freezer is a much better/cheaper option than going out to eat. Afterwards, I was craving … Continue reading →

Not Your Ordinary Meatloaf

This dish is one of my favorite comfort foods and perfect for a cold night. Cold is a feeling I have not experienced in a while. As I’m writing this, it is 79 degrees here and a frigid 12 degrees at home. I think I made a wise choice moving south. (We’ll see how I feel about … Continue reading →

Lazy Sunday

Most weekends I take the time to make something sweet and special for brunch, like french toast or pancakes.

Bruschetta

I’ve been known to drop a few platitudes in my day. “Everything happens for a reason,” “Living well is the best revenge,” and ” What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger” were all coined by me. (Just kidding, Kelly Clarkson did the last one.) So let me drop another genius truth on you: “Life is … Continue reading →

A Classic

This blog makes it appear that Caroline and I spend hours in the kitchen every night making fancy dinners and desserts. Trust me, this is not the case. After a long day, the last thing I want to do is go home and spend time cooking an extravagant meal for 1. Most nights I stir-fry … Continue reading →

Pomodori Secchi

While studying abroad, I enjoyed spending evenings with friends in trattorias experiencing Italian cuisine but I also enjoyed making my own meals. One of my favorite parts about Florence was the Mercato Centrale, a huge market full of vendors selling fresh produce, meats, and cheeses. Every week, I would walk a few blocks to the … Continue reading →

Southern Living

Before I went to college in the south, I never understood the hype behind the biscuit. Then I had my first biscuit with apple butter and I was hooked. Side note- why do they call it apple butter? It’s basically spreadable applesauce. Don’t tease and make me think that butter is involved because we all know … Continue reading →
