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 […]
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 […]
Bacon Lover’s Mac and Cheese
RUN do not WALK to your nearest grocery store and immediately pick up the ingredients for this recipe. I’m not joking. You must make this right away. You’ll thank me, I promise. I follow Annie’s blog but somehow this recipe got past me. It wasn’t until it was popping up […]
Pumpkin Gnocchi with Mushroom Sauce
I’m still working through that gigantic pile of to-try recipes. I printed this one out after the November Secret Recipe Club reveal. I have a bit of an addiction to gnocchi now after making it for the first time back in the summer. I also went a bit overboard on […]
Macaroni and Cheese – Crock Pot
Macaroni and cheese is one of those meals that I’m always looking for the perfect version. I’m starting to wonder if it just doesn’t exist. Or maybe I’m just too picky about my mac and cheese. Luckily, its one of Tom’s favorite foods so he doesn’t mind eating each recipe […]
Garlic Butter Noodles
I’ve mentioned quite a few times now that Saturday’s are my lazy days and I typically don’t cook. Usually I spend my Saturday baking whatever I’ve decided for the week. This usually results in some strange choices for meals. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ll eat things […]
Chicken and Pasta with Asiago Cream Sauce
As I mentioned in a previous post, Tom and I are cheese and cracker type of people and we quickly found out that asiago cheese just isn’t a cheese we’re willing to eat alone on a cracker. I didn’t want to throw away the cheese so I began searching for […]
