Ever since I first saw finger limes on Cooking on the Weekends, I’ve been wanting to try them and use them in a recipe. Well, I finally got my wish thanks (again) to Camp Blogaway. See there were two little baggies of them from Shanley Farms in my swag bag. I was so excited when… Continue reading Grilled Steak Lettuce Cups with Finger Limes

Bourbon & Peach-Glazed Drumsticks dipped in Whole Grain Flakes
I’ve been waiting patiently for two things this year: the weather to turn warm and for peaches to finally be in season. Well, if you live anywhere in the U.S. you know the weather has turned warm. Insanely warm in fact. Seems we went from chilly to “oh, my god it’s friggin’ hot!” in a… Continue reading Bourbon & Peach-Glazed Drumsticks dipped in Whole Grain Flakes
Sandwich Loaf
A couple weeks ago I mentioned I went to Camp Blogaway. I had an amazing time. But as I mentioned in my post, it wasn’t the first time I attended the camp. The first time I went was 2 years ago. I had a super time, was inspired more than words can say and made… Continue reading Sandwich Loaf
Kale Pesto Mac & Cheese
For the past couple months I’ve been a juicing maniac. Between being tired of cereal and trying desperately to lose those last five pounds of baby weight, I thought juicing might just be the ticket. Since I have an awesome juicer I love, and what there’s all those fruits and veggies available at my farmer’s… Continue reading Kale Pesto Mac & Cheese
Tequila-Marinated Chicken for Cinco de Mayo
It’s that time of year again: when every Mexican restaurant and bar you can think of will be full of people drinking margaritas and eating tacos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. But since I’m not a big fan of crowds, I prefer to celebrate these types of holidays at home. And since Cinco de Mayo… Continue reading Tequila-Marinated Chicken for Cinco de Mayo
Mushroom Quinoa Risotto
I love couscous and rice. Both are great side dishes and rice makes a wonderful risotto. I eat them both pretty often as they’re wonderful with chicken, fish and even steak. Quinoa also makes a delightful side dish, however I have never, ever been a fan. See, I’ve tried to make it a few times… Continue reading Mushroom Quinoa Risotto
Parmesan-stuffed Chicken with Strawberries
It’s officially strawberry season. While most of us have been able to get strawberries all year, the fact that it’s not officially strawberry season means not only will the prices go down at the grocery stores and farmer’s markets but they’re going to be super sweet and seriously delicious. It’s during this time of year… Continue reading Parmesan-stuffed Chicken with Strawberries
Zucchini & Goat Cheese Pizza
I’m always trying to get my son to eat more vegetables. It’s really hard! Sure he loves sweet potatoes and regular white potatoes (if they’re in french fry form), he even likes carrots. But anything else, especially if it’s green… forget about it. And while he keeps ignoring the vegetables on his plate, I still… Continue reading Zucchini & Goat Cheese Pizza
Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Since St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s posts to all things that are green and/or Irish. Today’s post is both. Well, it’s not exactly Irish per se, but it’s made with potatoes which a lot of people associate with Ireland thanks to the great Irish Potato Famine of the mid… Continue reading Spinach Pie in a Potato Crust
Wagon Wheel Cincinnati Chili
Up until a few months ago, I had no idea what Cincinnati chili was. I just figured it was another kind of chili that Cincinnati-ites had done something special to to claim as their own; kinda like Texas chili which is chili without any beans. Since I like beans in chili, I guess my chili… Continue reading Wagon Wheel Cincinnati Chili
Italian Wedding Soup
As a baker and cook I sometimes find myself looking for the most complicated thing to make for dinner because I feel like if I’m not making the product from 100% scratch then I’m not really cooking. I know it’s stupid but I’ve just never been one of those bakers who makes cakes or cookies… Continue reading Italian Wedding Soup
