No matter who you’re rooting for, chili is a classic go-to for the big game. I know that’s what we’re having at our house! You can make a big pot to feed a crowd, and it’s totally low maintenance. Once you make it, just leave it on the stove or even in a crock pot […]
[social_share style=”square” align=”horizontal” heading_align=”inline” facebook=”1″ twitter=”1″ google_plus=”1″ linkedin=”1″ pinterest=”1″ link=”https://www.thecocinamonologues.com” /] It’s been quite a while since I have posted on here. I’m not one to make excuses, but if I was, I’d mention that I’m pregnant with baby number two, have a one and a half year old, and work a full time job. […]
I’m ashamed of myself. April is National Grilled Cheese month, surely cause for celebration for anyone who calls herself a cheese lover like me, and yet here it is April 27th and I’ve posted exactly zero recipes about grilled cheese. The first year I was blogging, I found out about National Grilled Cheese month too late, at the […]
This winter I have been obsessed with chili. So much so, in fact, that I requested it as my birthday meal from Tim. There are about as many ways to make chili as there are people out there who eat chili. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice. This year, I’ve […]
I sure hope the first rule of Chopped Club is not “Don’t talk about Chopped Club” because if it is, I’m about to be in serious trouble! What is Chopped Club? It’s a very exclusive, very elite society of top chefs who must utilize mystery ingredients in their food preparations. By exclusive and elite, I […]
I love to use produce that’s in season whenever possible, and this is a great time of year for that! I have to restrain myself at the Farmer’s Market so I don’t spend the entire week’s food budget in one fell swoop. Right now, the peaches are sinfully sweet and impossibly juicy. I had some […]
I love tortellini, so I am always looking for new ways to cook it. Specifically, there’s a type of cheese and spinach tortellini (by Barilla) that I think is exceptionally delicious. I saw this recipe on Pinterest, and I knew I wanted to try it. (They just so happened to use the kind of tortellini […]
Who doesn’t love a nice big bowl of homemade potato soup? I personally love it, but I don’t usually make it very often because the recipe I’ve been using for years, while extremely delicious, is kind of tedious and not exactly figure friendly. It involves baking potatoes, letting them cool, peeling them, cutting them, and […]
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 […]
I love a fat, juicy, grilled burger once in a while. I wish I could take credit for this, but someone (else) in a stroke of genius came up with the idea of combining a jalapeno popper and a burger. You basically take a hamburger patty, top it with a cream cheese, roasted jalapeno, bacon […]
