Quick Mushroom Beef Stroganoff Skillet Supper comes together in 30 minutes for an easy weeknight dinner. When mom comes over for dinner, it’s always a little nerve-wracking thinking about what to make. Not because she’s picky in general (although like most people, she has a few things that she absolutely will not touch), but because when I make new-to-her-things, it’s hit or miss as to whether or not they’ll go over well. The last time mom came over for dinner I decided to go with an old classic: Beef Stroganoff!...
Steak, Ale, and Mushroom Pot Pies {Paleo}
Steak, Ale, and Mushroom Pot Pies make a hearty paleo dinner; you can serve the stew as-is or whip up the quick paleo crust to turn them into adorable little pot pies. When Liz from Sprouted Routes reached out to me with the idea of working on a collaborative post, I was pretty excited; from early on in our conversation I discovered that we have a lot in common. Liz is into healthy treats, Indian food, and yoga, and she can whip up a pretty fabulous salad. Liz is also a traveler and when she mentioned her love for Damascus, I knew we were kindred […]...
Easy Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers {Gluten-Free}
This gluten-free Easy Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers recipe is a delicious and fast weeknight dinner! It’s a great use for leftover steak, but feel free to swap out chicken if that’s what you have on hand; I also give easy vegan and paleo options. I know it’s December and we’re in the throes of the holiday season, but I’m taking a break from the festivities for a quick minute to bring you something you’ll hopefully find useful: a 20-minute family-friendly dinner idea!...
30-Minute Chocolate-Espresso Beef and Black Bean Chili
Do you go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day or stay at home? (I usually make Mike and I a romantic meal, like our favorite Spiced Sirloin Roast for Two, but this year I’m on strike…so either he’ll end up cooking or we’ll go out. Because sometimes a girl just needs to go on strike for a night, right, ladies?)...
Sweet and Spicy Beef, Butternut, and White Bean Stew
One of the things I miss most about living in Kuwait is the flea markets. There was one market in particular that stole my heart…...

Butternut Squash-Topped Cottage Pie
I never knew the difference between Shepherd’s Pie and Cottage Pie until recently; I found out, Shepherd’s Pie uses lamb and Cottage Pie uses beef. To my knowledge, both are classic British fare, and decidedly wonderful comfort food. The kind of food that makes you want to pull up a chair to a rustic wooden table in front of a crackling fire in a cozy pub and stay a good long while as you thoroughly enjoy your meal. It’s also the kind of meal you can easily whip up the day after Thanksgiving using all kinds of fabulous leftovers, and then enjoy at the end of […]...
Vegetable Beef Pie with Cheesy Potato Topping {And a Castello® Moments Round-Up}
Thank you to Castello® Moments for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Vegetable Beef Pie with Cheesy Potato Topping with Weissbier. It’s been a strange summer for a million different reasons. I won’t bore you with the details (yet), but let’s start with the weather. First off, it’s felt like autumn for the past week or so now (especially in the unseasonably chilly evenings), and there were even brisk days in July that felt more like late rather than early summer. Not that I’m […]...
Spiced Sirloin Roast for Two
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you probably know that I’m not the biggest meat eater; in general I really don’t make roasts (except roast chicken, which is a specialty of mine). For the most part I gravitate towards fish or veggie-based meals, so I don’t blame my hubby at all for being completely impressed (actually, shocked is probably a better word) when he came home to this lovely roast beef one day....
