Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
I know, it sounds like an unusual combination but it's really good. It was very filling and full of good stuff and I made it vegan...until I sprinkled some cheese on it. Cooper and I loved it, but Madeline and Ross were just eh on it. They ate it but I know it wasn't something… Continue reading Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Quinoa Chili
I bought a HUGE head of cauliflower last week and after making half of it for dinner one night, I needed to figure out a different way to use up the rest of it. I was thinking of roasting it, but it's been a little hot and humid, so I didn't want to turn the… Continue reading Cheesy Cauliflower Patties
I'll be taking a week off from posting as we're moving into our new house on Friday. I started packing up my kitchen last night so we're using paper plates, plastic utensils and cups and I'm not doing much cooking. Thankfully we're only moving a short distance away but it's still been a little of… Continue reading Mexican Stuffed Peppers
I'm so ready for summer vegetable season! There's just something about fresh fruits and vegetables that makes me eat so much healthier. This year we're only planting a few things in our raised beds since we're not sure how long we're going to be in our house. Our house selling is going really slow and we're… Continue reading Sausage Stuffed Zucchini
Brussels sprout were one of the vegetables I HATED as a kid. My mom loves them and would force make us try at least one when she made them. She usually steamed them in the microwave and the smell alone would make me turn up my nose. I would just shove one in my mouth,… Continue reading Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprout
I spotted this pizza originally on Pinterest and it sounded so different and unique. I had half a jar of fig jam left over from the orange-fig glazed ham I made and knew it would be a great way to use it up and not waste it. It was seriously AMAZING! Both my husband and… Continue reading Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Fig Pizza
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
Now that Cooper is old enough to try purees, I'll be posting some of the different foods he's going to be trying. We were given the OK to start solid food at his 4 month old check up, but we decided to wait a couple weeks. I wanted to make sure he was ready - watching us… Continue reading Baby Food: Butternut Squash
Happy Halloween! The area is still getting back to normal after Sandy came through town. We were spared and didn't have any issues at our house. We lost power for about 10 minutes on Monday night, but that was it. The winds were crazy and it's something I don't want to experience again! Our schools… Continue reading Roasted Garlic
Whew, last week blew by! I had planned to post this recipe last week but somehow between getting ready to go back to work, getting back to work and still trying to exercise, there was very little time to blog. I have some free time today so I'm trying to catch up, plus Cooper fell… Continue reading Roasted Veggie Enchilada Stack
