Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This gluten and lactose-free Easy 5-Ingredient Chicken Parmesan Quinoa Casserole is the type of meal that makes smart use of a few pre-made or leftover ingredients so all you have to do is assemble it and toss it in the oven!
Chicken Parm is one of those things that always calls my name when I see it on a menu. It’s really hard to beat the combination of crispy breaded chicken topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. But it’s actually pretty rare that I order it!…
These kid-friendly lactose-free Easy Vegetarian Baked Taquitos are full of gooey cheese and Tex-Mex flavor, and couldn’t be easier to make! Every December, it’s easy to get swept up in the allure of baking in general and cookie-making in particular. But there’s a whole host of holiday parties going on and we need regular food too, right?!...
Gluten and Lactose-Free Stovetop Cauliflower “Macaroni” and Cheese is just 30 minutes to cheesy perfection…you won’t even miss the pasta! Mmm, mac and cheese, is the mantra filling my head every fall when the weather turns chilly and I start craving comfort food. There’s something about carby pasta enrobed in creamy cheese sauce that speaks to my soul....
BBQ Pepper Jack Chicken and Brown Rice Casserole is a great way to use leftover chicken and brown rice! There’s a small window of opportunity when someone gets good and hungry enough that even the pickiest of eaters will be willing to try new foods. Now, this isn’t usually something you can make happen, but when circumstances cause it to be there’s no harm in taking full advantage of the situation, right? (I think many parents can relate!)...
Weeknight Cheesy Beef Skillet Chili is great for those nights when dinner has to be on the table quick! With Labor Day over, kiddos are back to school and the weather is finally cooling off; and also, chili season is here in full force! Chili is one of those staple fall and winter meals in my house that gets made probably once a month or so because it’s so easy to whip up and always goes over well at dinner....
Broccoli and Red Pepper Egg Muffins are great for whipping up on the weekend for breakfast during the week; and bonus, they’re an easy way to get vegetables into your diet at breakfast! I’ve noticed Murphy’s Law at work, particularly in situations when time is of the essence. Like an hour and a half before Mike and I were supposed to leave for the airport for our flight to London (BTW, if you’re interested you can check out a few of our London pictures in this post), when we went to get our passports out only to realize that the key to the lockbox where […]...
Cheesy Kale-Artichoke Quesadillas are a fun spin on spinach-artichoke dip that will have even your pickiest eaters eating kale. I’m pretty bad about sticking to weekly themed dinners, like Meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Fish Fridays, etc. Not because we don’t eat meatless meals, fish, or tacos, but because when we do, it’s on any random day....
This Cheesy Layered Butternut Squash Casserole utilizes butternut “noodles” layered like lasagna, and a quick-cooking creamy white sauce for the ultimate vegetarian comfort food meal. With comfort food season quickly winding down, I’m about ready to start diving headfirst into asparagus and artichoke, and don’t even get me started on how excited I am about fiddlehead ferns coming into season. But first, because around these parts we still get brisk evenings that warrant a comforting dinner, I’m indulging in a healthy winter squash casserole....
Gluten and lactose-free Cheesy Scalloped Cabbage Casserole is an all-star comfort food side dish that pairs well with any number of things! When Mike and I were first married, I didn’t have a huge repertoire of recipes up my sleeve. I was still in law school at the time, and batch-cooking freezer-friendly meals (like spaghetti, beef stew, turkey chili, and chicken stir-fry) on weekends was my way of life. I was determined to cook homemade dinners for us though....
A Cheesy Western Omelet makes a delicious meal any time of day. The thing about eggs that is simultaneously fabulous and frustrating is that they’re best served right away. (Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and the one that immediately comes to mind with eggs is hard-boiled! But you get the idea.) Scrambled eggs wait for no one, and likewise, the runny yolk of a perfectly poached egg suddenly becomes a lot less appealing once cold. Omelets are no different because let’s face it, eggs generally just don’t reheat well....
