If you have ever ordered takeout from a Chinese, Japanese or Thai restaurant you probably ended up with a container or two or even three of white rice. I mean who is not going to eat the fried rice first over the plain, sticky and starchy white rice am I right? If you are anything like me you can’t just throw it away. So you … Continue reading leftover takeout white rice
It will be 6 years this June since I started writing this weekly food blog and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon. I hope you are all OK with that; well I guess if you are reading this; you are on board with me continuing. With that being said I have upgraded my subscription on WordPress (more $) and am getting some help … Continue reading Maple Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops
“I hope you are going to blog about this; it is delicious” “I am going to have this for lunch on Monday; maybe even tomorrow too” just a couple of quotes from my fam after eating last night’s dinner. So here I am going to share it with you. Though a little back story, it was NOT what I had intended on making at all. … Continue reading Sausage & Broccoli Pasta
Did you pick up your corned beef for next weekend? I was sitting here wondering about the origin of the New England boiled dinner and why it is synonymous with St Patrick’s day! So instead of writing I have been reading. What I came up with is it was basically a poor man’s meal. Brisket is a cheaper cut of meat, corned comes from the … Continue reading Corned Beef & Cabbage – Hash
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

I also share quite a few soup recipes on this blog and I am pretty sure I will continue to do so. Every time I make a soup that makes me smile, and no not all of them do, I have failed … Continue reading Sausage, spinach, tomato tortellini soup
I would love to say I am getting ready for the big game later today, don’t get me wrong I am super pumped and looking forward to it.

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
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
