For Christmas my aunt brought over lasagna. Prior to that, I honestly don’t know how long it has been since I’ve had lasagna. A few years at least. 🙄 It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just the combination of being lactose intolerant and trying to eat less carbs has […]

Spicy Italian Pasta Soup
Disclaimer: I received free products from Tresomega to create recipes. All opinions are my own. They’re saying that we’re going to have a bitterly cold, brutal winter. I don’t like any of the words in that sentence. I am not a winter person at all, and if I could stand […]
#ImprovCookingChallenge: Asparagus and Mushroom Tortellini
Even though Mother Nature can’t seem to decide if it’s going to be Spring or not (our temperatures keep jumping from the 40’s to nearly 80 degrees every couple of days), I’ve decided Spring is here and I’m celebrating it whether or not the weather is on board. Mainly this […]
#FabulousFallBounty: Butternut Squash Noodles with Sage and Pancetta
I’ve switched out pasta for zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash tons of times, but I never thought that you could do it with a butternut squash until I saw a recipe for noodled squash on Pinterest. I had just received a butternut squash from Melissa’s Produce a few days before. […]
FoodieExtravaganza: #oktoberfest – German Meatballs and Spaetzle
It’s time for #FoodieExtravaganza again! Our theme for this month is Oktoberfest and it’s being hosted by Sue of Palatable Pastime. I’m actually attending my first Oktoberfest in a few weeks so I can’t wait to report back on how the food is. I looked at different recipes for quite […]
Summertime Pasta Salad
There are a lot of condiments and foods that I love and Tom won’t come anywhere near them. One of the items on that list is cold pasta salad. He will eat cooked pasta. He will eat veggies pureed into a sauce, but he will not eat cold veggies (or […]
Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
I wasn’t even planning on making this recipe until I saw that Wegman’s had pretty little bunches of fresh sage for $1.29. The smell of the sage was so intoxicatingly delicious that I bought a bunch and immediately sought out to find a recipe where I could use it. When […]
Blogger’s Choice: Bacon Ranch Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes
Oh man! That was my first thought when receiving Jaida’s blog, Sweet Beginnings for this blogger’s choice round of the recipe swap. See, I could eat just about everything on Jaida’s blog so trying to narrow it down and choose just one thing is well, not fair. I scrolled through […]
Pumpkin Ravioli with Sauteed Mushrooms
It still amuses me to think sometimes about how I spent the majority of my life hating all things pumpkin. While I still don’t like pumpkin spiced coffees (sorry!) I would be content to have a pumpkin meal or dessert at least once a month. I really never realized how […]
Recipe Swap: Shrimp Scampi
Recipe swap time again! The category for this swap was Celebrity recipes. It was actually pretty hard for me to pick out a recipe to submit. I didn’t realize that I rarely blog any recipes made by celebrities anymore. Luckily though, I do have a few on here. For this […]
