Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
While we're big fans of quinoa, I haven't used it much in salads and more as a side dish. Now that I made this recipe, I can't wait to make different types of salad. This was amazing and going to be my go-to option for lunch for the next several months. I can't until local strawberries… Continue reading Strawberry, Arugula and Quinoa Salad
It's time for The Secret Recipe Club! For this month's assignment, I was assigned The Bad Girl's Kitchen. Min created her site as a place to come and share favorite recipes with friends and family.

My husband is a huge fan of short ribs and it seems whenever we're out for a fancy dinner, that's what he gets. I treated myself this Christmas and bought a dutch oven. I've been wanting one for a couple months and finally Kohls had a great sale that I couldn't pass up. So far,… Continue reading Braised Short Ribs over Creamy Cheddar Cheese Polenta
This year for Thanksgiving, I wanted to try something different. While we kept with some our traditional dishes, I chose to make a savory corn casserole instead of just plain corn. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it worked out and the majority of us enjoyed it. There's a secret ingredient in… Continue reading Savory Corn Casserole
I've had a little bag of quinoa sitting in my pantry for the last couple of weeks and I knew if I didn't use it soon, it would get pushed to the back, never to be seen until the next time I cleaned those cabinets. So of course I turned to Pinterest (notice a trend here? LOL!) and… Continue reading Cheese and Veggie Quinoa Bites

I’ve think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m not a huge fan of potato salad. I’m not really sure what I don’t like, but it’s just something I that I usually pass over at picnics and parties. I’d rather have macaroni or pasta salad. My husband and daughter are much bigger fans than I am… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Dill Potato Salad
We have been enjoying all the fresh fruits and vegetables this summer and I'm not looking forward to that ending in a couple of months. There's nothing like a vine-ripened tomato from your garden or fresh picked corn on the cob. This recipe highlights all things I love about the summer! There's zucchini, corn, tomatoes,… Continue reading Farmers Market Skillet
Who doesn't love mac and cheese? It's another one of Madeline's favorite things but I have been relying on that blue box a little too much lately. I've been looking for a quick recipe that I can make during the week especially since I'll be starting back to work in 2 weeks. I'm amazing at… Continue reading Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese
We're all big fans of chickpeas so I knew when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I had to make it. My daughter gobbled it up! It was a nice refreshing salad especially during this crazy heat we've been in having in the northeast. I can't wait for more of our fresh cherry tomatoes to… Continue reading Chickpea and Tomato Salad
