Penne with Vodka Sauce

April 23, 2018 0
Penne with Vodka Sauce

Sometimes I don’t plan meals on the weekends and wait until the last minute to decide what to cook GASP! Yesterday was one of those days. I went to the kitchen having no clue what I was about to make and I already had two kids asking me about it. I had to think fast.…

Friday Night Pizza: Two Kinds of Flatbread

Friday night is almost always pizza night in our house and last week was no exception. We had only one kid home for dinner and I had a fresh flatbread dough in the fridge, so I was ready to go.   On our half of the pizza I went with my obsession, sun dried tomato…

Cast Iron Gruyere Scalloped Potatoes

I’m always on a quest for new ways to cook potatoes and make them flavorful and interesting. What better way than in a cast iron skillet so they have the perfectly cooked center with crispy edges?!

Butternut Squash Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Butternut Squash Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Confession: I’ve never purchased jumbo pasta shells or attempted a stuffed shells recipe until now. Why? What have I waited for? I think maybe I was afraid of it. In my mind they are big and intimidating and have always seemed fragile. I would have to make sure the pasta was cooked perfectly and the…

Spicy Thai Noodles with Vegetables

I *LOVE* Thai food! Well, I love all food, but I really love lots of spice, big heat and bold flavors created with simple ingredients. I believe this is the definition of Thai food.   If you’ve never tried Thai food, it’s time to change that! It’s super delicious and you can control the level…

Ultimate Fried Rice

Ultimate Fried Rice

Fried rice is a favorite in our house! We love going to Japanese Steakhouse restaurants and a few years ago I decided I needed to master this recipe. It has taken time. All fried rice is *definitely not* created equal! The secret to this fried rice – don’t skip or replace the butter! If you…

Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Potatoes

This recipe happened one night because I was bored with the usual roasted potatoes I’d been making lately. We really likes potatoes and how great are they with some simple salt, pepper and thyme?! While they can be amazing simply prepared, I *try* to keep things flavorful and mix up the way I cook with…

Roasted Parmesan Carrots

Roasted Parmesan Carrots

This may be one of the easiest side dishes ever and the best part is that you can visually make the carrots rustic or elevated. You’ve heard the saying you eat with your eyes first, right? Sometimes it’s a detail as simple as how you slice a vegetable that makes a big difference!   I…

Let me tell you something…I LOVE BEANS!
