With a high of 106 degrees today, I don’t really care what season the date says it is… it’s full-fledged summer out here! With summer comes BBQ’ing and grilling season, cookouts and picnics. I bet you’ll be asked to bring a side dish to at least one event in the near future. Well… this is…
Spiced Dal with Cilantro Yogurt
I used to think I hated Indian food and curry. Then I slowly grew accustomed to curries via Thai food, and I was eventually brave enough to try Indian food again. Guess what? I liked it! Though I will admit there are still some Indian flavors that are not my favorite, I’ve definitely found a…
Tomato, Herb & Goat Cheese Quiche
TGIF… And here’s to this weekend being better than last! We planned to spend a super fun long Memorial Day weekend down in San Diego, but then Nick got sick with a stomach bug. It was not super fun. Not even a little bit fun. So it won’t take much for this weekend to be…
Springtime Vegetable Skillet Baked Ziti
Hi, friends! Hope you’re all having a great week. It wasn’t a long weekend, but it sort of felt like one with some weekday fiesta-ing tacked on. Cinco de Mayo for the win! Our “long” weekend started with homemade buffalo chicken pizza (uhm, YUM). And ended with these yummy Ginger Beergaritas and piñata cake (it…
Roasted Red Pepper and Quinoa Enchiladas
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike! Guess what day it is!? It’s….. Secret Recipe Club day! In case you forgot… Members of the Secret Recipe Club are assigned a blog each month. Who has who is a secret until reveal day (today!). The mission is to choose a recipe from the assigned blog, make it, and…
Warm Portabella, Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Salad
I saw this recipe a couple weeks ago and it was one of those recipes that I completely drooled over and had to make immediately. It’s chock full of many of my favorite foods, especially artichokes, and just looked like SUCH a great combo! I don’t think I actually ever got around to telling my…
Cheesy Eggplant Parmesan {and some housekeeping}
Howdy, peeps! Please don’t hate me. I have gotten really, really bad at posting, huh? It’s partly because I’ve been super duper busy and seem to have zero time to cook OR blog (or breathe), and partly because my computer is slowly dying and is SO slow. I feel like I’ve time traveled to 1998….
Baked “Fried” Zucchini Chips
I think I’ve posted my “last” zucchini/squash recipe about 8 times now. So I won’t say this is my last. However, a couple days ago I finally pulled up my zucchini and squash plants to make room for winter veggies. They were on their way out, but they probably would have produced a little longer….
