I keep wondering how I’ve never blogged this. It’s one of those recipes that I’ve made a hundred times. It’s not only easy, but it tastes like something you’d have in a restaurant. Now that I’m back to work (and surviving it so far!), I am looking for fast & simple recipes for weeknights. Who [...]
I was all excited to blog my Four Seasons Enchiladas. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t posted it before, and I made it last night for a neighbor who just had a baby. As I went to type it up this morning, there I find it already blogged on my site. Ah yes, the brain is [...]
Every Saturday night my parents made chicken. Well, at least that’s what I remember telling my friends back in high school. In all honesty, in their defense, I think occasionally they made tacos. But truly, most Saturday nights consisted of baked chicken in some form, and a veggie, as I was growing up. Now, I [...]
I’m not sure who alfredo was, but he is number 1 in my book! I’d love to drown myself in a bowl of alfredo sauce from the ol’ Olive Garden, but the WW points value is ridiculous. Here’s a slimmed down version that really hits the spot. It’s creamy and delicious. Plus, there’s the added [...]
I haven’t made many of Giada’s recipes lately. I found them either to be too complex for a simple dinner, or a bit on the heavy side. Her last episode, however, featured easy weeknight meals. I decided to make a few of them right away. This one was awesome! The topping would be good on [...]
I’ve been trying desperately to get organized. I’m currently laid off from work, so I’m a stay-at-home mom… and I have a cleaning lady. What??!! I know… My husband says that I should enjoy it, but I have the ol’ Catholic guilt working in me and I’ve decided to either have her come once a [...]
There are 2 things I’ve discovered about good ol’ chicken over the past couple of years. One, I love chicken legs. They’re so inexpensive, so they’re great for a currently unemployed Mom like myself. Plus, they are just darn tasty. They seem to be the first pieces that go missing from the bucket at a [...]
Where oh where have I been? Well… hmmm… busy.. very busy. I was out of town for almost a week visiting family, and then they came up to Chicago to see us too. So, it’s been a fun whirlwind couple of weeks. The cousins all got to play, and family got to meet our little [...]
Meatloaf… not normally one of my go-to meals. But alas, today I looked in my freezer and there was ground meat staring back at me. I had no motivation to go to the grocery store, so I needed to get creative. Funny how with one child, I found going to the grocery store to be [...]
I love Indian food. I never thought I would until a coworker introduced it to me, and wow… I’m hooked. However, I want to make lighter versions of it at home. My favorite is “Butter Chicken”… which, I mean really, how can you lighten up a dish with that name? Gina mentions that this is [...]
