Garlic Rosemary White Beans
These Garlic Rosemary White Beans are such an easy but flavorful and impressive side dish that come together in less than 20 minutes. Flavored with fresh rosemary, garlic and onion, they taste like they've been braising all day. Who loves easy side dishes? This one goes from can to dinner table in less than 20 minutes and is so flavorful you'd never know it was so easy to make. We finally bought a deep freezer and we've been loving getting our meat delivered from Butcher Box. I don't have to leave my house, lug it home from the grocery store, or think about what to buy. It's great … [Read More...]
A fishy solution {Sardine and Olive Linguini}
Don’t you just hate an empty fridge? Since we had company all weekend, we didn’t get a chance to make our usual grocery trip last Sunday. That meant by the time Wednesday rolled around, the cupboards were looking pretty bare. Out to dinner we went. Then Thursday rolled around. Different night, same problem. I didn’t really…
Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancake
As I’ve mentioned before, I have a slight obsession with all things pumpkin. This morning I found myself with a little extra time on my hands before work, so I decided to make one of my old favorites for breakfast: a pumpkin oatmeal pancake! You don’t really even need much extra time. It only takes…
Honey Mustard Chicken Salad
I really hate wasting food. I’m a proud member of the Clean Plate Club, a huge advocate of the freezer (my former roommate, Laura, was utterly amazed at some of the foods I deemed freeze-and-reheat-able), and I’ve been known to do some pretty interesting things with leftovers. Butternut squash oatmeal, anyone? Hey, it worked. Luckily,…
Cherry Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Last week, I made a very healthy Kumquat Quinoa Salad. Nick loved the salad, but wasn’t a huge fan of the kumquats, so I thought I’d like to try the salad again using dried cherries instead. This weekend I got the chance to do just that. Nick’s dad was here visiting for the weekend. He…
Easy Three Bean Chili!
Remember when I made Chicken Barley Chili a few weeks ago, since chili is Nick’s favorite food? Well, that was a new recipe I was testing out. Last night, I made chili again, but this time it was my old tried and true Three Bean Chili recipe. I think I’ve actually made this recipe more…
Asian Coleslaw
Most days, I eat a packed lunch, sitting at my desk at work. Which is totally fine with me, because I make pretty phenomenal lunches, and until recently, it’s been too cold for me to venture outside the building. It is nice to get out every once in a while, though. A couple weeks ago,…
Kumquat Quinoa Salad
When most people make check-out line impulse purchases, it’s usually something along the lines of a candy bar, a cool new type of gum, a bottle of wine on the end cap at Target…. what? Who does THAT? When Nick makes a check-out line impulse purchase, it’s kumquats. Yep, you heard that right. This past…
Cooking for Kaiser {Peanut Butter Dog Treats}
I have a love-hate relationship with baking. I love baking. But I hate having mountains of goodies sitting around the house just tempting me. One good solution is to bake for other people. Neighbors, friends, coworkers. The problem is, they’re excited at the beginning, but eventually they start hating you for making them fat, too. Well……
