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 […]
Zucchini is one of those things that you can prepare a million different ways. Slice it, dice it, roast it, sautee it, grill it, fry it, put it in sauces, serve it with pasta, make zucchini bread, muffins, pancakes, tots, chocolate cake…the possibilities are endless if you use your imagination! The flavor of zucchini is very […]
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 […]
Now that I’m a mom, I am always looking for recipes that are super quick and easy. I still love to cook, and I still like to try recipes that are more involved, but I just have no desire to spend a lot of time in the kitchen when I could be playing with Wes. […]

The other day, I planned to make Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa. I asked Tim what he wanted to go with it, and he said rice. I didn’t want to use a preflavored box of rice because it’s so easy to make your own, and that way you can control the ingredients and flavor, so […]
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m obsessed with recipes. I’m always discovering new recipes I want to try, either on Rachael Ray or some other show, they show up in my inbox, I read them in a magazine, etc. Then I save them in various places – on Pinterest, save them in a […]
I love cous cous as a side dish. It’s something different from rice or potatoes, and it’s super easy to make. It’s also very versatile. You can flavor it many different ways by adding in different herbs, spices, and veggies. I like to buy plain cous cous, whole grain or wheat if available, cook it in […]
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, […]
