Easy No-Bake Fruit Tart

Today, I looked at the calendar and had an unnerving realization, summer is quickly coming to an end. Naturally, like any normal foodie, I’ve been working around the clock to fit in my fav summertime recipes before the sunny season gets away from me. The first thing that pops into my mind when I think...

Creamy Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Soup

If I haven’t mentioned this before, I am a huge soup fan. Whether it’s raining, snowing, or 90 degrees outside, I’m not one to turn down a delicious bowl of soup. Especially If I’m in the mood for comfort food with minimum effort, soup it is! A fan favorite of my family is my homemade...

Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes

I eat a ton of potatoes. Seriously, at least once a week I am eating a potato in one form or another. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner I can pretty much whip up a potato recipe for any occasion. Needless to say, with so many potatoes recipes sometimes I can’t decide on which one...

Cilantro – Lime Ranch Dressing

You ever get in those moods where you think, I got to healthy up my life a bit? That’s pretty much the mood I was in when I decided to make homemade salad dressing. I wanted to control every bit of what I was putting in my body. From the fresh veggies of the salad...

Wine About It Chicken Scampi

        Is anyone really surprised that I included a recipe that combines two of my favs wine and pasta? Yea,  I didn’t think so.  I love cooking this one-pot dish especially when I have opened wine that is nearing its prime drinking shelf life. Perfect time to use those frozen ice cubes of wine that...

The Perfect Baked Potato

I love a good baked potato.  Whether it’s a large russet or a vibrant sweet potato, if it’s baked, I’ll eat it. Baked potatoes are easy to make, pair nicely with just about any entrée, and have a pretty extensive toppings list. Although I am baked potato crazy now, this was not always the case....

Easy Flank Steak Tacos

                I eat Mexican food at least once a week. If it’s not burritos, then it’s tacos and I’m always looking for ways to spice up my menu. My juicy and flavorful steak tacos are one of the recipes I stumbled upon after convincing myself, “you could totally make that at home”. We all know...
