I saw a recipe a while back by Hungry Girl that was a Mexican casserole made with spaghetti squash. I read the recipe once and thought it sounded good, so I decided to make it. I love Mexican food, and I’m always game for a lightened up recipe. Well, the day I went to make it, […]
If there’s one food I could eat pretty much every day, it’s Mexican. I just love it! Tim didn’t much care for it when we first started dating, but he’s seen the light since he’s been with me. 😉 I first got the idea for this casserole from a Hungry Girl recipe. It seemed pretty […]
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 […]
Hi, my name is Cara, and I am addicted to peanut butter. I’m not ashamed of it. I own it. If you leave it to me, all baked goods will have peanut butter in them. And chocolate. And sometimes banana. So anyway, cookies. These are a really delicious balance of sweet and salty, with the […]
I have been baking a lot lately. A lot, you guys. I made these and another batch of cupcakes for work one week, and people started hiring me to bake stuff. Like, I made 600 mini cupcakes last week. You read that right – 600 (thanks, Kristy and Tim for your help!). And a couple […]
The other day, I came up with the (brilliant) idea to make mozzarella stuffed turkey meatballs. To go along with them, I decided to make spaghetti squash, because, you know, I try to be healthy and squash is healthier than pasta, even whole wheat pasta. I had never had spaghetti squash before, and I had […]
I was watching Iron Chef America the other day and the secret ingredient was mozzarella. One of the chefs stuffed some meatballs with mozzarella, and my wheels started turning as my mouth started watering. They used a mix of ground meats for their meatballs (veal, pork, beef), but I wanted to make it a bit […]
Ah, that’s a cheeky little blog name, now isn’t it? I amuse myself sometimes. What is frico? If you don’t know, I’m very sorry. Because it is something everyone should know about. Frico is what results when you bake parmesan cheese (real parmesan cheese, not the powder stuff) into insanely good crisps. You know when […]
You know how sometimes you buy an ingredient for a recipe but then only end up using half of it and then the other half just sits around or goes bad? I’ve found that kale can be one of those things. Wastefulness is one of my pet peeves, whether it’s water, energy, food, whatever. Remember […]
