It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a recipe on the blog. Partly because I’ve been traveling like a crazy person and partly because I’ve been uninspired in the kitchen and not cooking anything new. Well, I’m still a crazy person but found a little bit of inspiration in my fridge the other night and decided […]

Roasted Tomato Soup a la Crockpot
I set out to make tomato soup in the crockpot because I’m trying to make everything I can possibly can in that thing! I’m pretty bummed because I didn’t get a picture of the final product, which is a total fail! But it looked pretty similar to this… I didn’t follow the Smitten Kitchen recipe […]
Better Than a Can Cranberry Sauce!
That’s right…you read correctly. Do you love cranberry sauce? I do. It’s one of my favorite holiday treats and I’m kinda obsessed with it. I decided to make my own this year because it seemed pretty simple. Oh man. Simple is not the word. This is the EASIEST thing ever and you will NEVER eat […]
30 Minute Healthy Chicken Fried Rice
Sometimes you just want to order out for dinner. Nothing will do but Chinese takeout. I often feel that way, but try to be judicious in my ordering out expenses and will happily cook instead if I can. Tuesday night found me with a thawed chicken thigh, a frozen bag of mixed veggies and rice. […]
Crunchy Chicken Drumsticks – no fryer needed!
Over the weekend, I wanted to finally use some drumsticks that had been hanging out in my freezer for awhile. I decided I wanted them to be crunchy but just could not get down with the idea of frying something since it was so.stinking.hot outside! I also in general hate frying and try to avoid […]
Loaded Sweet Potatoes + Giveaway Reminder!
I am all about filling, healthful snacks. And the sweet potato is the best of em. I thought that since people seem to love loaded baked potatoes, I could make a “loaded” sweet potato and it’d be delicious. This recipe is super simple and begs for adaption with your favorite ingredients. Here’s what I did: […]
Crock Pot Beef & Broccoli
Day 17 of 31 Days of Project 30! Last night I decided to try out a recipe I’d been apprehensive about for awhile. I love beef and broccoli but pretty much have stopped ordering it since it’s so salty and bad for you. Pinterest to the rescue! I pinned this recipe awhile ago decided it […]
#8 Make one new recipe a week, pt. 10
I have to admit I’ve been majorly slacking on making a new recipe each week. This summer has been so busy and so go!go!go! that I’ve eaten a lot of meals on the run and eaten out quite a bit. However, I’m recommitting myself to cooking and started this weekend with a quick and easy […]
#14 Cook a 5 Course Meal, pt. 1
So, I’ve been struggling with #14 a bit lately. As I tried to sit down and plan for it, I realized that I have no idea how to plan a five course dinner. I honestly don’t know how to start. Have any of you ever created a five-course meal for a loved one? I’m thinking of doing a “farewell […]
