If you read my post a long, long time ago about cornish game hens, this is pretty much the exact same recipe, except with a regular sized chicken. I made three of these puppies for our Mother’s Day celebration this year, and everyone just loved it! The chicken really absorbs the flavors of the garlic, […]
Happy 2013! I’d love to give some beautiful philosophical discourse, ticking off all of the memorable events of 2012 and wishing everyone all the happiness and success they desire in 2013, but I’m just not good at that stuff. I’ll just say that though 2012 had its ups and downs, all in all we feel […]
I saw this recipe, as you might have guessed, on Rachael Ray. I originally saved it for my husband because he loves peppers and spicy food. Well, it actually wasn’t that spicy – I was totally able to tolerate the heat level. We both absolutely loved this and will definitely be making it again. I […]
When I made this last week, it got absolutely rave reviews from both Tim and me. I knew he liked it when he took his first bite, said, “Yeah!” and gave me a high five. A few more bites into it, he asked me where I got the recipe. I replied, “Rachael Ray, my old […]
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 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 […]
It’s soup time again! I told you I’ve been obsessed with soup this year. In my previous Salsa Stoup post, I mentioned a soup chock full of vegetables with pesto in it. Well, wait no more. As promised, here is the veggie soup recipe. It’s extremely healthy because it’s basically all veggies with some herbs […]
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 […]
I love butternut squash. I love risotto. When you put them together, the stars align and something amazing is created! You start this dish by roasting a butternut squash. 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, […]
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 […]
