After our first successful salmon dinner a couple of weeks ago I was eager to try it again. I saw pecan crusted salmon over on Julie’s blog and it inspired our meal. I had just enough leftover pecans from our trip to Texarkana for our dinner. I knew I wanted a [...]

Lasagna Redemption
Posted in italian, pasta on January 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been in search of a good lasagna recipe since we got married. I’d tried several and just wasn’t pleased. Either they took too long to make or the sauce was bland or all I could taste was spinach or the cheese was weird or whatever. I gave up and switched to ziti for the [...]
Pancake Dinner
Posted in breakfast on January 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
When we look in our fridge and don’t see anything that would make a full meal or we’re just feeling tired and want something easy, we know it’s pancake night. Saturday night I didn’t get back from work and the grocery store early enough to make chili as planned, so it was definitely a pancake [...]
Adventures with Puff Pastry
Posted in chicken, comfort food on January 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well my first attempt to cook with puff pastry didn’t turn out quite as I had planned. I forgot that you have to, you know, thaw the frozen puff pastry. So making this meal took much longer than it should have! My puff pastry also didn’t really cook in the center I don’t [...]
More than meets the eye

I was a little unsure when I first saw this recipe (recommended by another Cooking Light fan!) because the ingredient list is so basic. I’m glad I gave it a shot though, it is delicious and will definitely replace our old “go-to” baked ziti recipe. It fills a 9×13 pan, we’ll be eating it for [...]
Dippin’ Time
Posted in appetizers, dips, party favorites, vegetarian on January 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Big football games call for great dip. It’s nice to have something yummy to munch on so you don’t bite your nails off worrying about whether or not your favorite team will win. I served this dip with a French baguette that I picked up from the store, but tortilla chips would also [...]
A Household First
Posted in Cooking Light, fish on January 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well last night we did something crazy. We ate fish in our own house. That’s never happened before. We eat seafood when Tyler’s dad makes it, or sometimes if we’re feeling wild and crazy at a nice restaurant (had some great fish in Maine last summer!), but we’d never purchased or cooked seafood ourselves. I [...]
simple side dish
Posted in side dishes on January 18, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I’ve had a box of whole wheat couscous sitting in the pantry for a few months now. We needed a simple side dish to go along with our salmon and since I’m not a big fan of rice (mine always turns out crunchy or mushy) I whipped up the couscous instead. I had [...]
Mushroom Medley
Posted in Cooking Light, pasta, vegetarian on January 16, 2008 | 15 Comments »
This is one of those meals where as I was making it I kept getting more and more excited. I knew it was going to be tasty, I knew I was going to love it. I knew I was going to want to make it again tomorrow! I was right! Mushrooms, [...]
