simple recipes, easy clean-up
Have you ever made dinner and thought to yourself that it could really use a good side of bread with it? But there is no time for yeast, and a slice of toast simply won’t do. These Quick Parmesan and Herb Biscuits are my favorite go-to side of bread when I am in a pinch. I love the texture of these biscuits and the aromatic boost from the mixture of herbs. Gourmet Garden’s fresh herbs in a tube are seriously {Read More}
I feel like I could probably create a whole other blog strictly dedicated to all things birthday party and cake batter, but I’ll move on to some side dishes for you. Sometimes finding a good side dish to go with your meal can be difficult. I’m probably super old school in the fact that I think a dinner plate needs to consist of a main dish, a vegetable, and a starch. One of my favorite starches is a potato. They {Read More}
With the Presidential Election just around the corner, and all the other state elections going on I am just so ready to be done with the commercials. Don’t get me wrong, being proactive in politics is great… but please! I need the commercials to stop. It’s so depressing. I just want to see more Old Navy commercials about jeans and lots more of Brad Pitt promoting Chanel No. 5. {because that just makes sense} What we all really need are more {Read More}
I am completely head-over-heels in love with this one pan Cajun Chicken Pasta dish! It’s creamy, it’s spicy, and it’s bursting full of flavors that will warm you to the bone. Oh and did I mention it’s a ONE PAN dish?? I was craving Chili’s Cajun Chicken Pasta, so I decided to make my own version. I used rigatoni for my noodles, because that creamy sauce gets stuck inside of those giant noodles and it’s just magical when you take {Read More}
Sometimes inspiration for my recipes come in the most random of ways. Take this Flat Bread Pizza for instance; I was eating a Lean Cuisine for lunch one day {don’t judge, they are delicious}, it was a spinach and artichoke dip with a slice of pita bread. Instead of just dipping the pita bread into the spinach and artichoke dip, I covered the pita bread with the dip, and the spinach and artichoke pizza was born. Of course I needed to {Read More}
There is nothing better than fresh and fluffy homemade mashed potatoes. But who really wants to take the time to make them from scratch? It usually involves peeling, cutting, boiling and finally mashing potatoes, which can feel like an eternity when all you want is potatoes. Like right now. If you want fresh and fluffy homemade mashed potatoes in less than 10 minutes, then this recipe is for you! {cause seriously, I am all about quick and easy} There is {Read More}
Have you ever been to California Pizza Kitchen and ordered their White Pizza? It has a creamy white base then topped with spinach, and all sorts of yummy cheeses. It. Is. Epic. And then one day I wanted some of that epic goodness for lunch, but didn’t want to have to drive all the way there, so I created my own. Instead of using pizza dough, I put all the elements of the White Pizza on some pita bread. Yes {Read More}
We have been living in on the road for almost 6 months now. There are several things that I have learned to live without – a dishwasher, my scrap booking stuff, a closet, and television {among other things}. It hasn’t been too hard to give up the ol’ boob-toob. But when I realized that the Super Bowl was coming up and we were going to miss it, I felt like I might cry. It’s not the actual football that I was {Read More}
Ready to spice up your sandwich or pasta? This super quick, easy, and extremely tasty Pesto will rock your socks! I don’t have a fancy-shmancy food processor {again, taking donations}… but I do have something similar. It’s sort of an attachment to my blender base. If you don’t have a food processor, I think a blender would work too. I was watering my sweet basil this morning, and I just got the urge to make some pesto, so I snipped {Read More}
