I unabashedly love grilled cheese. This is no longer just kid food. There are so many ways to make your grilled cheese gourmet, and I love mixing up different combinations. That being said, every year that I’ve had this blog I’ve totally dropped the ball on Grilled Cheese Month and Grilled Cheese Day. April is National […]
This dish was inspired by my pantry. I’ll admit, there’s enough food stocked in our pantry to last a good long while through an apocalypse. I was in there the other day and saw a bag of sun-dried tomatoes that had been sitting around for a while and thought, “I should use those.” So I looked […]
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 […]
My friend, Kristin, was talking at lunch one day at work about these chicken puffs she made. She makes them regularly for her family, and they devour them. Kristin is a great cook, and the puffs sounded delicious to me, so I wanted to try them. I am always looking for a way to get vegetables […]
[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. […]
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 […]
Superfood casserole might seem like an oxymoron to you. When you think of casseroles, you probably don’t think of superfoods, and vice versa. Well, let me just tell you how this recipe came about and then maybe it’ll make more sense. As you may know, we have a one-year old son, Wes (14 months, to be exact). He […]
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 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 […]
