Bacon & Egg Brunch Cups
If you've been visiting this blog for awhile now, you've probably started to pick up on some of my favorite things (cookies, peanut butter, comfort food, etc.) and should know by now that I am a HUGE fan of breakfast foods, especially all variations of bacon & eggs. Bacon & Egg Brunch Cups (while delicious [...]
Swiss Steak
For whatever reason, Seattle just can't figure out if it wants summer to stick around this year. After a few gloriously beautiful weeks, temps have dropped, clouds have returned and there's a tinge of wetness back in the air. I'm no longer traveling to Texas each month for work, so I'm missing an escape to [...]
Mom’s Marinated Grilled Chicken
It's taken me awhile to share this marinade recipe, but mostly because the weather in Seattle has been so spotty and my grilling days are numbered due to excessive rain. Also a small part of me has kept this one close to the vest because it's unique to my family and genuinely the best way [...]
Zucchini Frittata
Looking for a knockout brunch recipe this weekend? Look no further. Ladies and gentleman: zucchini frittata! If you're a regular reader, you know that we LOVE eggs and breakfast for dinner in our household (check out these other recipes if you're a fan of breakfast for dinner too: Bacon Broccoli Quiche and Jalapeno Corn Cakes). [...]
Sirloin with frisee salad
I'm back! If you haven't check out my latest story yet (Italian Runaway), it provides an explanation for my long absence. Regardless, I'm back in my kitchen and excited to be cooking for myself again after a long stint away. Easing back in to extravagant meals slowly, we had a rain-free and (somewhat) sunny weekend [...]
Stuffed Peppers
My friends and family in the northeast United States are getting hit hard with snow this week. As the pictures and snow day announcements roll in (lucky!) it's a reminder that although it's March, winter is hardly over. Thankfully I'm far away from the bad weather. I'm spending this week in Fort Worth, TX replenishing [...]
Bacon Broccoli Quiche
Not sure if you've heard yet, but we love breakfast foods in our household. We've tried to create, recreate and reinvent breakfast dishes like fritatta, pancakes (have you seen these Jalapeno Corn Cakes yet?!) and our all-time favorite: quiche. This hearty dish is just what everyone needs to either start the day with some serious brain food, share [...]
Jalapeno Corn Cakes
We're big fans of breakfast for dinner (or B4D as we call it) at our house. Mostly because bacon and eggs are two of the best foods ever ... *channels Ron Swanson* Breakfast for dinner doesn't need to be just dry scrambled eggs and microwaved bacon though. It's possible to keep the meal quick but [...]
Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf. Smeat-loaf, double beetloaf. I get it. Meatloaf is faaaaar from glamorous. It's quite literally a chunk of ground meat chopped up and passed as a respectable meal. The thing is... meatloaf is an incredibly respectable dinner. I remember being a kid and always looking forward to the night my mom made meatloaf. When I would [...]
25-Minute Spicy Chicken
Monday night. After a long, sleepy first day back at work, how much energy do you have left by the time dinner rolls around? I'm a practical cook - I keep 2 or 3 recipes in my back pocket that are so stupidly simple I can still manage a good dinner after an *especially* painful [...]
Southwest Chicken Burgers
I spent this week in Fort Worth, TX where the temperature reached 86º F the same day I boarded my plane to head back to Seattle and return to the mid-30's and cloud cover. It's a depressing transition when you're someone who thrives in the sunshine (Learn more about me in my my Beginnings post!). I spent [...]
