This weekend I had the awesome opportunity to do this. Me, Mario and my friend Kelly. “To Laura, Pasta is love. Mario Batali” Pasta is love. He knows me so well already. Kelly and I were standing in the very long line to meet Mario and I start (read full article)
When it comes to egg, I am a total hypocrite. I could eat raw cookie dough like there is no tomorrow, but when it comes to raw egg in anything else I get a bit skeeved out. Thankfully, I got over that quickly when I came across this recipe for Caesa (read full article)
Everyone talks about how much fun celebrating holidays with children is. And they’re right, it is fun- without question. However, what isn’t often talked about is how… we’ll say less fun… it can be to travel here, th (read full article)
While I love those rare moments that I can spend 4 hours in the kitchen making an elaborate meal, sometimes it’s great to have a favorite dinner that can be tossed together in less than 20 minutes. This tops my new list of favorite super-fast (read full article)
While it may not be perfectly authentic, I absolutely love PF Chang’s. Unfortunately the closest location to us in Northern Michigan is more than 3 hours away, so we don’t get to go as often as we’d like, thus leaving me lettuce-wrap-le (read full article)
As I get more and more experienced in the kitchen there is a shocking revelation that becomes clearer and clearer. I, apparently, have been quite the picky eater. There are so many foods that I’ve never had before that are a pretty simple, (read full article)
If I had to choose, if I absolutely had to, I think beef stroganoff would be my favorite meal. But please don’t make me choose. That would be cruel. Normally when I make beef stroganoff I make the same recipe that my mom always made when I w (read full article)
Hi there! Remember me? I used to post recipes around here? Ha Life’s been a bit hectic in the last few weeks and our dinners have consisted of tried and true, quick favorites, so posting, as you may have noticed, has been sparse. I’m h (read full article)
It was once said that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ and this dish is the embodiment of that. A few nights ago I was home with a hungry child and a hungry husband (and who are we kidding, yours truely was ravenous too) and the din (read full article)
When I was in high school I worked as a hostess at a local restaurant that was “famous” for it’s broccoli cheddar soup. One of my jobs was to fill to-go orders. Fine and dandy, right? Well, sure. Until it got super-busy and I was f (read full article)
When Brian’s brother came home at Christmas, he brought Brian one of the best gifts (for him) ever: A gigantic bag of various wild game venison. Brian immediately started planning out what we’d do with all of this delightful meat. His fir (read full article)
In one of those frustrating Mother Hubbard moments, where there seems to be nothing to eat in the house, I threw together this haphazardly and wound up with one of our new favorite meals. These tacos are veggie-friendly but tasty enough for even the (read full article)
When I received the Pioneer Woman cookbook on Christmas Day, I turned to Brian and threatened to go all Julie & Julia on him and make every single recipe in the PW cookbook within a month. He laughed and shook his head as if to say “Silly L (read full article)
A few months ago Brian and I got an eighth of a cow and we’re now down to the last of the last of the meat in the freezer. I asked Brian to grab something out of the freezer for me to make for dinner last weekend and he brought up a pack of t-b (read full article)
We’ve decided around our house that we need to start eating more vegetables. We have so few meat-free dinners, and veggie-centric dinners that we make on a regular basis and I decided to finally start to remedy that. I’ve never tried eggp (read full article)
As much as I love to cook, its sometimes nice when Brian takes over the cooking for the evening. Even better, when he makes some as fantastic as this chili! I love finding great crockpot and freezer-friendly recipes. This is also one of those foods (read full article)
