While cooking and recipes are the bread and butter on Kitchy (no pun intended), every so often I’ll go out for an afternoon or evening that’s just about having fun with my fellow cooks and food bloggers. Last Monday was just one of those nights. The guys from Sorted Food decided that after a couple… Continue reading A Night with SORTED Food

Remember those awesome blackeyed peas I got from Melissa’s Produce a few weeks ago? Well, turns out they have a whole line of steamed veggies all cooked and ready to be added to your favorite dishes.

Slow Cooker Meatballs
My husband hates meatballs, meat loaf… even super thick hamburgers. He always says they’re too heavy for him, too thick, you get the picture. But the boys and I love meatloaf and meatballs, so I still try and make them occasionally, especially since spaghetti and meatballs are my sons’ favorite. Well, recently I found a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Meatballs

If there’s one kind of recipe I love, it’s the kind that takes no time to put together. The fact that my boys lap it up every time I make it for dinner is also a huge plus; and it can be made year round. In my book that’s the hat trick of dinner recipes.… Continue reading Lamb and Sweet Onion Pitas
Broccoli Rabe Risotto
I love Italian food. Spaghetti, gnocchi, chicken parmigiana, they’re all delicious. But my absolute favorite Italian dish has got to be risotto. I love the creaminess, the rich flavor, and if you add a protein like chicken or meat balls you have a completely delicious dinner. There’s only one problem with risotto; it’s rare that… Continue reading Broccoli Rabe Risotto
Chicken Enchilada Nacho Bowls
Mexican food is one of my all time favorite go to meals. It doesn’t matter whether I make it at home or we order in. There’s just something about that spicy food wrapped up in those little tortillas that excites me. While quesadillas and tacos are my favorite, I love a good plate of carnitas… Continue reading Chicken Enchilada Nacho Bowls
