One of the kid’s favorite pastas is pesto pasta. I have not been able to make homemade pesto due to the fact that the basil in the grocery stores is close to $3.00 for a pathetically small amount. It’s been devastating. Then we finally went to Lowe’s a couple weekends ago to gather some stuff…
Greek Salad
What is it about Greek salad that I love so much? The salty olives, feta, crisp refreshing cucumbers? What ever it is, it’s one of my favorites and I love that it’s so easy to make at home. In fact, I like mine better than most of the ones I get at restaurants. Almost 6…
A Delicious, Healthy Side- Roasted Cauliflower
I am on a roasting vegetable kick. Broccoli, carrots, asparagus, you name it! My newest favorite is roasted cauliflower. I’ll have to admit cauliflower is not my favorite veggie raw and I really don’t cook with it often. This however is simple and so good. I could eat it everyday prepared this way. If you’re…

Quick Fix Dinner: Creamy Tomato Soup
If you would’ve asked me if I liked tomato soup before I made this soup for the first time I would have said “no, blech, yuck”. I am pretty sure the only tomato soup I had eaten back in the day was the canned version (when I was younger and as a result almost scared…
Southwestern Turkey Burger Sliders with Chipotle Ketchup
I wanted to get one more recipe posted before Super Bowl Sunday. These sliders are fantastic. Flavorful, moist and a little different. I made them the same day that I made the black bean dip so I had the leftover chipotles in adobe sauce. I was inspired by the flavor profile of the black dip…
