Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese

July 24, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese transforms a classic caprese salad into a full meal that strikes the right balance between being satisfying but not overly heavy.

One of the best things about summer is the food. Whether your favorite is corn, watermelon, peaches, green beans, or tomatoes, there seems to be some new local produce popping up at the farmers market every week. I, for one, am hard-pressed to choose a favorite.…

Spinach-Mozzarella Grilled Cheese

April 27, 2012 by Faith 23 Comments

With all the amazing looking grilled cheese recipes that have been floating around the internet recently you probably know that April is National Grilled Cheese month. I had no idea that such a thing existed until the lovely Jo-Lynne (of Musings of a Housewife) asked me if I wanted to create a grilled cheese recipe in honor of the occasion. (Of course I said yes. :) )...

Spinach, Ricotta, & Portobello Gratins

January 13, 2012 by Faith 22 Comments

I had a couple of beautiful portobellos in my fridge and I was going to make them into giant stuffed mushrooms…but, there are a million recipes out there for stuffed mushrooms and you probably don’t need another. (Plus I was in the mood for something a little different!) I thought the mushrooms would also make the perfect base for individual gratins so I decided to do that instead....

Cast Iron Skillet BBQ Chicken Pizza

September 21, 2010 by Faith 51 Comments

When I eat at new (to me) restaurants I love trying new dishes, but there are a few places that I go to for certain foods. When I lived in Florida there was a California Pizza Kitchen nearby and my friends and I would often go there specifically for the BBQ Chicken Pizza. The combo of smoky Gouda and gooey mozzarella is fantastic, and the BBQ sauce adds a great burst of sweet/tart flavor. Despite it being a chain, there isn’t a California Pizza Kitchen near where I currently live, so the only way I get to enjoy this pizza is by making it at home. […]...

Stuffed Tomato Salad

August 10, 2010 by Faith 34 Comments

Campari tomatoes are deep red, round tomatoes that are usually sold on the vine. They’re sweet and juicy and I think they taste a lot like cherry tomatoes (they also look similar to cherry tomatoes, only larger). Campari tomatoes are the perfect tomatoes for stuffing because in addition to their great flavor, they’re big enough to get a decent amount of filling inside. The filling I use in this recipe is a combination of three cheeses (mozzarella, Parmesan, and cottage cheese), which I puree until smooth. The end result is a cheesy mixture with a consistency similar to ricotta, but much more flavorful. If you’re […]...

Three Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms

December 27, 2009 by Faith 32 Comments

Every year stuffed mushrooms of some sort grace my family’s Christmas Eve dinner table. To switch it up, each year or so I try make a different kind of stuffed mushrooms…some have had ground turkey (my personal favorite, since the gamey turkey pairs so nicely with earthy mushrooms), some had crab, some spinach, others Cheddar. I wanted to do something different this year, so to get some inspiration I went to my fridge. And then I saw it, a beautiful trinity of cheeses that complement each other so perfectly…mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan were all staring up at me, longing to be made into cheesy stuffed […]...
