It’s that time of year – tomato season. I’ve mentioned before that I love tomatoes, but inevitably every year I find myself with an abundance, wondering how I can use them up lest they go to waste. If you find yourself with a similar conundrum, then you’ve come to the right place. Not only is […]
As much as Tim and I love vegetables, there’s one that we really never cook just as a side dish. Carrots. We eat them raw and we use them in recipes, but we just don’t really eat cooked carrots. Until now. These are so delicious, I’ll definitely be adding them to our rotation. The carrots […]
I saw a recipe on Rachael Ray not that long ago that immediately made me think, “I should make that. It sounds really delicious and would be very easy.” Actually, Dr. Travis Stork from the TV show The Doctors was Rachael’s guest and it was his recipe, which they were touting as very healthy. It’s […]
There are many reasons I love summer: the warm early summer weather (not this 100+ degree heat we’ve been having), sleeping in, getting to spend time with Tim and Josie, the drive-in movie theater, traveling, and the wonderful produce (to name a few). Nothing says summer quite like fresh tomatoes from the garden. When I […]
I don’t frequently cook pork at our house. We have a pretty steady rotation of chicken and fish. I do occasionally buy those premarinaded pork loins and throw them in the freezer when I need a no brainer dinner. But I feel like I’m always seeing delicious pork loin recipes, so the other day I […]
The other day I woke up and decided I wanted to make a skillet scramble for breakfast, so I opened the fridge to see what it had to offer. I saw some of the things we frequently have on hand that were nearing their end game. So I figured, why not throw them into my […]
I’m really excited about this post because this is just more than your typical recipe post. This time, I get to tell you a little bit more about me, and an experience in my life that was truly amazing. That’s how I started this blog post several months ago. Truth is, it’s actually pretty difficult […]
Hold on to your socks, ladies… They’re about to be blown off! That’s right, you have a guest chef in your presence. I am, humbly and proudly, the husband of Cara, and she has humored me by letting me share with you one of my chefly secrets (to be honest, this recipe, as with most […]
I’m always looking for new (read: easy) ways to cook fish. Tim and I ate at a restaurant a while back – it was at least a year ago, but probably more – and I had salmon that had pesto stuffed in it. I don’t remember anything else about the meal – not the side […]
Get your dental floss ready because ’tis the time of year to enjoy some sweet corn. If you live in the Midwest like me, you can find it for 20-25 cents per ear right now, and it’s super sweet, very flavorful, and extremely tender and juicy. There are many, many different ways you can prepare […]
