Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

Many people love pumpkin recipes in the fall, but I prefer not to discriminate against pumpkin’s delicious offerings, opting to enjoy them any time.  Sure, pumpkins themselves aren’t in season right now, but pumpkin puree is available year-round, and it’s not like I cook my own pumpkins for recipes anyway.  So although it’s January, give […]

Lighter Lasagna Soup

It has been so cold here lately, I think I have saved at least a dozen soup recipes.  I love soup this time of year.  I saw a couple of recipes for lasagna soup and it just sounded so good to me.  Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been craving foods with tomatoes or tomato sauce, […]

Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions

It’s no secret that we love grilled cheese here at our house.  But, I never make straight up grilled cheese with American cheese on white bread.  Ever.  I always mix it up with different breads, usually something really grainy with great texture, various cheeses, and other yummy fillings.  This time, I went a pretty hearty […]

Winter Chopped Salad

I’ve said before that whenever we go to our friends’ Dave and Kylie’s for dinner, we bring a salad (or when they come over, they bring the salad).  This was my most recent creation for dinner at Dave and Kylie’s. I have to admit, I am kind of a salad freak.  I love them, and […]

Salmon BLT with Chipotle Mayo

Bacon makes everything better, including salmon, which I think is already pretty awesome. This is a really easy way to do something different with salmon. The saltiness of the bacon really compliments the salmon, and the chipotle mayo gives it a nice little kick of spiciness. You can make it as spicy as you like […]

Tomato Soup with Pesto Grilled Cheese Croutons

Happy 2013!  I’d love to give some beautiful philosophical  discourse, ticking off all of the memorable events of 2012 and wishing everyone all the happiness and success they desire in 2013, but I’m just not good at that stuff.  I’ll just say that though 2012 had its ups and downs, all in all we feel […]
