Tortellini is one of those foods that I have a hard time stopping eating once I start. There’s something about the little cheese filled pasta that I just love so much. I don’t normally talk brands on here, but there’s this one particular type of tortellini that I find especially intoxicating – Cheese & Spinach […]

A Meal Fit For a Birthday
I mentioned in a previous post (about a certain delicious oatmeal cake) that my mom recently had a birthday. We all went down to my parents’ house and spent the weekend there to celebrate. Tim, my sister-in-law, Jill, and I cooked my mom a super special birthday lunch. Since I was deemed the project manager, […]
Butternut Squash Soup
There are a lot of good pre-packaged soups out there, but there’s nothing quite like making soup from scratch. This butternut squash soup is flavorful and creamy, full of hidden vegetables, and is light because it does not have any cream! This recipe makes enough soup for Tim and I to eat it a couple […]
Simply Roasted Asparagus
Want to learn a new way to cook vegetables that’s really simple? Tim and I both love a variety of veggies, but we get tired of always steaming them. Oven roasting is a really easy way to prepare them, and it creates a whole new flavor! You can use this same method with broccoli, cauliflower, […]

When you roast the squash, it turns out so nutty and sweet and delicious! You can peel it, cut it into chunks, and then bake it, […]
Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
As an adult, I have really grown to love sweet potatoes. I would not even eat them as a kid, but now it seems like I can’t get enough. Plus, they’re a superfood – they’re full of fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein,vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium. Between the delicious sweet and savory taste and the health benefits, what’s not […]
Oven Baked Zucchini Sticks with Sweet Onion Dip
A while back, I found a recipe on Pinterest that I wanted to try, but it was a side dish so I was waiting a main dish to pair it with. The other day, Tim wanted to make turkey burgers, and I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to try these oven baked zucchini […]
Cornish Game Hens with Roasted Garlic Sauce
Last week, I posted my recipe for Quinoa Casserole with Broccoli and Asparagus and told you I made it with Cornish game hens. I’m sure you’ve been waiting on pins and needles by your computer for the game hen recipe, but alas, the wait is over! Okay, okay… I know it’s more likely you’re thinking, “Cornish […]
Salsa Stoup with Avocado Smash and Whole Wheat Quesadillas
Is there a 12 step program for soup? Because if there is, I should probably sign up. I’ve made more soup this winter than any other winter I can remember. I even created a soup chock full of vegetables and then got crazy one day and added pesto to it. It. was. delicious. I’ll definitely […]
