Lately, we’ve been busy bees and weeknight cooking hasn’t happened too frequently. To make up for it, I usually spend the majority of my Sunday in the kitchen, but by the time Wednesday rolls around, we’re sick of the weekend leftovers. Last weekend it dawned on me that I could do all the prep for…
Thai Chicken Pizza
I told ya I’d be making pizza again soon! Last week’s Tostada Pizza was so easy and delicious, I wanted to get creative on the pizza front again as soon as possible. A few years ago, I made this Thai Chicken Pizza for a girls night in Boston. The vegetarian of the group must have…
Tostada Pizza
When I lived in Boston, I shunned all chain restaurants. With endless choices for tasty local places, there was no need to ever step foot in a chain. Now with limited options, and the best chains in town being Olive Garden and Red Lobster (gahhhhh!), I could kill to eat at places like the Cheesecake…
Enchilada Stuffed Shells
I love Mexican food. I love Italian food. And when their powers combine… Enchilada Stuffed Shells! Nothing about these sounded bad.

Bowties with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe

Butternut Squash Lasagna
This recipe is brought to you straight from Minnesota via Nick’s Grandma Alice. Grandma Alice is an avid blog reader and has even made my Chinese Chicken Salad and Taco Salad for her friends! When she saw this recipe, she thought of me and passed it along. Thanks, Grandma! You all know by now that…
Homemade Pizza, again.
One night, I made dinner without planning to blog about it. I mean, I’ve made pizza before, and already shared my homemade dough recipe. But last time, I grilled the pizza. Now that it’s getting a bit chilly out, the grill isn’t used quite so much. So when Nick requested pizza for dinner, I fired…
Pumpkin Patch Stuffed Shells
If you think pumpkin is just for breakfast and dessert, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Pumpkin is just as awesome in savory dishes, like these stuffed shells! OK, so they’re not that photogenic, but I promise they taste 500 times better than they look! My Mom gave me her Rachel Ray magazine to read on…
