Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Gluten-free Low-Carb Broccoli and Cheese Casserole is a crowd-pleasing side dish!
The more I have the chance to spend time in different areas of the country, the more I realize that where you’re from is often depicted in the way you drive.…
This Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is deliciously satisfying; it comes together quick, but has slow-simmered depth of flavor. Winter here in NoVA is a funny thing. You’ll be rolling along mid-January without so much as a snow flurry to speak of (wondering if you’ll even see a snowflake this year), and then suddenly a single storm hits and you’re three feet under....
This creamy Stovetop White Cheese Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli comes together quick for the perfect kid-friendly meal. Looking through my site, I noticed that I don’t have a lot of kid-oriented recipes. (Mostly because Mike and I don’t have kids (yet) and the only kid in my life (my niece) has a more grown-up palate than most grown-ups I know. From the age of five she insisted on ordering for herself at restaurants, and for a good long stint her meal of choice was broiled fish with steamed vegetables…a girl after my own heart.)...
The first time I ever dyed my hair was freshman year in college. I’m naturally a dirty blonde (which I have always thought was quite an unfortunate term for hair color), and decided to go a little lighter. It was so ridiculously similar to my natural color, it wasn’t even worth the effort....
The weekend after Thanksgiving is always pretty hectic around here....
I’m always surprised when someone tells me they don’t like broccoli…it’s one of my favorite green veggies! Not to mention, broccoli cooks up super quick, is fabulous in risotto, and goes so well with cheese (or vegan “cheese” sauce!). Plus the florets look like little trees. What’s not to love? When I ask why they don’t like it, the most common response I get is I guess I’m just sick of it…I need new ideas! Well, there’s no way I can hear that and not come to the rescue....
One of the monthly cooking groups I’m in, the 5 Star Makeover group, has had a bit of a makeover itself and is now the Creative Cooking Crew of 24 talented bloggers, hosted by Laz of Lazaro Cooks and Joan of Foodalogue. Group member Trix from Tasty Trix chose the theme for our first month: “Choose one of your favorite rich, heavy, fatty animal-protein-based meals and give it a healthy VEGAN spin.” It’s a theme I was pretty happy with, as I’m no stranger to developing vegan recipes (Refried Lentils, Spinach & Bulgur Wheat Stuffed Red Peppers, and Pumpkin Chickpea Curry have been a few […]...
Lets talk a little about weekday lunches. (Because really, unless I have a lunch date out, lunch is usually my most boring meal of the day.)...
When it comes to eating out, I generally prefer small, locally owned restaurants. They’re unique, charming, and full of heart and soul. Not only does patronizing them support local businesses (many times right down to the food sourcing), but I’ve found that their food quality is so much better in general. When I was a kid my parents loved chain restaurants with a passion (and I mean in a strange, over-the-top way that had no rhyme or reason to it). The Original Roadhouse Grill was their absolute favorite, and it was their go-to spot no matter what the occasion. Except if it was a lunchtime […]...
In my wildest dreams it never dawned on me that delicious dinners could be made with only five ingredients. Breakfast with five or less is easy with things like Greek yogurt topped with berries and a drizzle of honey, a bowl of oats with milk, fruit, and nuts, or a bagel with lox, cream cheese, red onion, and capers…even a veggie omelet for the most part probably has less than five ingredients, but I think dinner with five ingredients is pretty impressive. That’s why I was intrigued when I recently was offered a review copy of Robin Miller’s Robin Takes 5, which is a cookbook of 500 recipes with five […]...
