Did you think I wasn’t going to post today? The weekend has really gotten away from me; yet again. So many things to do and no time to do it all. I spent most of the morning making breakfast and meal prepping for dinner and the week. And then I convinced my husband to “help” me build a bed frame; with two bottom drawers; at … Continue reading Linguine with lemon garlic shrimp
It is a pretty big day here in New England. The Patriots are playing for the AFC championship later today. We were supposed to get 1 to 2 feet of snow I guess at one point they said 30+ inches. But it looks like 6-7 inches, guess it was fake news. I really wanted at least a foot; I mean I feel if it’s going … Continue reading Crispy Potato Gnocchi & Pesto
I know I have mentioned several times that dinner sometimes comes from whatever I have on hand. There are certain leftovers that I admit kind of stump me with how I can re-invent them. There are only so many pulled pork sandwiches one can eat; at least once the coleslaw is gone. I was going to make nachos with the leftover BBQ pulled pork but … Continue reading BBQ pulled pork pasta
How many parties have you hosted or attended? How many guests do you have staying with you? Who has plans to ring in the new year? So many things to do, so little time! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday however you celebrate! This time of year is always crazy busy and it’s like we are all racing to make sure we fit … Continue reading Turkey Chili crockpot/slow cooker
Super quick dinner that everyone will love; if they don’t you are probably reading / following the wrong blog. Or maybe should rethink who you eat dinner with – OK I know you can’t probably stop feeding your kids but you can definitely make them take the “no thank you” bite and they might just like it enough to keep going. You might be thinking … Continue reading Scallopini – Milanese – Piccata
I should be writing about something you can make for your Thanksgiving dinner but I made this for dinner last night and it is just too good not to share immediately and it might be something to make on the Sunday after the holiday when you have had enough of turkey leftovers. A few week ago a couple of girlfriends and I went on a … Continue reading Beef and Guinness Stew
I did it again; I made something that needs to be shared and didn’t take pictures. Why do I do this to myself? I often wonder if it is so I have to make it again? I doubt it I think I was a little pressed for time; who makes a new roasted chicken recipe during the week for friends? This girl does! I knew … Continue reading Roast Chicken with Bread and Arugula Salad
Tis the season for comfort food – do you really need a season to enjoy comfort food? I don’t think so! I know I can and do make and enjoy a comfort meal more times than not. My comfort food go to meal starts with roasted chicken. I can and have roasted a whole chicken for Sunday dinner more times than any other Sunday meal. … Continue reading Creamy Pasta and Beef
Sometimes dinner just comes together; at least in the beginning; I’ll explain more about that in a bit. I had picked up a pork roast on my last shopping trip. There was a little cider leftover in the fridge and some of my herbs are still going strong especially the sage. Last Tuesday I think I was a little over ambitious; I blame vacation and … Continue reading Cider-Sage Pork Roast
We had a wonderful time in Greece, looks like we got out just in time though. They have had a couple of horrible storms where they had to shut down all of the ferries; parts of Athens was flooding and some of the Peloponnese islands are getting hit really hard. I guess my ferry ride into Mykonos harbor pales in comparison to what they are experiencing … Continue reading Gyros – Greek street food
